As part of the business process, a contract manufacturer receives critical and sensitive data from clients, making security even more critical.
The ISO 37001 certification, another first for the company, is further demonstration of the company’s reliability and integrity in mitigating bribery risks and meeting legislative requirements based on its anti-bribery management system.
“We are extremely proud to add the additional global ISO certifications. These latest certifications are in show of our commitment to meet the strongest security standards and our dedication to further enhance client trust and satisfaction," said John Rim, CEO and president of Samsung Biologics.
Samsung Biologics also received the Excellence Award for Integrated Management System from BSI, which is awarded to companies that have made outstanding business performance based on international regulations.
