Bitijen Earns Gold Medal in First EcoVadis ESG Assessment

"Top 5% in Global Sustainability Assessment"

Bitijen said on Wednesday that it had earned a Gold medal in its first assessment by EcoVadis, a global sustainability rating agency.

EcoVadis is a global ESG (environmental, social and governance) rating agency that assesses the sustainability management of companies worldwide. It evaluates companies across four areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Based on the results, it awards Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. The Gold medal places a company among the top 5% of those assessed.

The company said the achievement was particularly meaningful because it prepared for the assessment on its own, without external consulting. Since February, Bitijen has reviewed its affiliates' experience with EcoVadis assessments and their submissions, and aligned its existing ESG policies and operational materials with the assessment criteria. Bitijen's Strategic Procurement Team and Dong-A Pharmaceutical's Ethical Management Team worked together to analyze the assessment questions across the four areas and prepare the materials.

A Bitijen representative said, "We will continue to strengthen our ESG management in line with global standards and grow into a contract manufacturing organization (CMO) for biopharmaceuticals that earns the trust of our clients."
