Alteogen scored between 83 and 85 points in each of the four assessment areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. It also received an "Advanced" rating in the carbon assessment, which evaluates its ability to respond to climate change.

After receiving a Bronze Medal in its first assessment last year, Alteogen has strengthened its ESG management framework. It designated this year as the first year of its ESG management initiative and established an ESG committee within its board of directors, along with a company-wide ESG task force. It also established a greenhouse gas inventory verified by a third party and achieved the Management level in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). In addition, its near-term greenhouse gas reduction targets were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Alteogen has also joined the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and has pursued and obtained certification for Korea's RE100 (K-RE100), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management). It also published its first sustainability report.

Alteogen CEO Jeon Taeyeon said, "The Gold Medal reflects the efforts of employees across the company to strengthen our governance in line with global standards and embed sustainability management throughout the organization. We will continue to improve our management systems across all areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement."
