Understanding the importance of Human Rights, Samsung Biologics reinforces annual training courses for all employees ensuring that our culture and mindset reflects respect, integrity, and accountability.

Samsung Biologics is committed to a culture of transparency and open communication for leaders and employees alike. Each team contributes to enriching corporate culture by electing a group member to join the “Culture Crew”. The “Culture Crew” represents their department and serves as a liaison between management and employees. An official forum for information exchange helps diversify opportunities for transparent communication and an internal bulletin board amplifies employee voices to create a harmonious labor-management relationship.

We respect the activities of labor unions and labor-management councils, as well as representative organizations of executives. Regular meetings are held to discuss wages and benefits, employee safety, working environment, education, and career management. Such discussions help improve working conditions for both executives and employees, establishing a mutually beneficial culture. Resulting insights are shared with all employees through internal channels, continuously encouraging win-win initiatives.

Samsung Biologics operates an anonymous bulletin board where human rights issues can be reported through the company's communication bulletin board and the 6 major reporting centers. Victims or witnesses can report immediately through the bulletin board and when problems are identified, they are investigated, and measures are taken according to the relevant standards.
