Green Management Objectives of Samsung Biologics

Reduction of environmental pollutants

Samsung Biologics enforces strict governance and reduction strategies to minimize emissions and prevent environmental pollution. We also proactively manage risks to prevent pollution-related incidents before they occur.

Operation of TMS System

We are constantly striving to prevent environmental pollution by establishing a continuous monitoring system of pollutant emission sources.
Waste Management and Recycling

We are utilizing resource recycling facilities to carry out a range of activities such as waste separation and recycling.
Environmental Performance Investment

We are continuously investing in environmental improvements in the workplace and community.

Chemical management

Samsung Biologics is actively engaged in the prevention of chemical accidents through management of all chemical substances.

Management of Chemical Facilities

To prevent chemical accidents, we have implemented emergency blocking facilities that isolate the flow of hazardous substances. Our facilities undergo annual inspections to verify their safety and functional integrity.
Chemical Lifecycle Management

We prevent chemical accidents by overseeing and controlling chemicals at every stage- from acquisition to disposal- to ensure safety, compliance and environmental responsibility.
Accident Monitoring

In the case of emergency, we immediately identify and take action through the emergency response center (CCR, disaster prevention center, 24/7 operations).

Nature Capital Management

By efficiently managing and investing in natural capital, we strengthen conservation efforts and enhance economic and social sustainability.

Water Resource

As biologics manufacturing is a water-intensive process, we implement a range of initiatives to reduce consumption, incorporate recycled water where feasible and minimizing the volume and concentration of water pollutants discharged after production.
Waste and Pollutant

We minimize environmental impact through active recycling efforts, a closed-loop waste and resource recovery system, and strict management of pollutant emissions. These efforts are extended across our value chain to include partners and suppliers. Based on a strict regulatory and monitoring system, we effectively treat and manage waste and pollutants.

Biodiversity

As a key player in the bio industry value chain, Samsung Biologics recognizes the urgency of the biodiversity crisis and is fully committed to robust biodiversity risk management.
