By acquiring ISO 37001 certification, REYON Pharmaceutical has established an anti-corruption management system that meets international standards in connection with the existing ethical management system, and based on this, risks to the company's reputation, legal risks, and ethical risks are prevented in advance.
Yonghwan Yoo, CEO of REYON Pharmaceutical, said, "REYON Pharmaceutical, as a 'pharmaceutical company that investigates the principles of life,” has put the highest priority on operating an ethical company based on responsibility and its sense of duty to be trusted by everyone and contribute to the health of patients for the past 60 years.” He added, "Starting with obtaining ISO 37001 certification, we will continue to strengthen compliance and ethical management to further grow as an exemplary pharmaceutical company fulfilling our social responsibilities.”
