Management of HANMI
Semiconductor
HANMI Semiconductor is
considered as the leading
company in ESG
(Environment, Social, and
Governance). HANMI joined
the UNGC (United Nations
Global Compact) in
November last year and is
working on sustainable
management activities
pursued by the United
Nations. They explain
that they are joining the
global guidelines for
corporate social
responsibility by
complying with the ten
principles of human
rights, labor,
environment, and anti-
corruption.
HANMI Semiconductor is
strictly managed by
minimizing the handling
of dangerous substances
in accordance with the
ISO (International
Organization for
Standardization)
standards, and is
preventing environmental
industrial accidents
through MSDS (material
safety data sheet).
"Since our foundation in
1980, we have been
thoroughly complying with
safety management matters
for more than 40 years to
prevent disasters and
accidents," explained
HANMI Semiconductor.
They are also ahead of
eco-friendly management.
100% of industrial water
up to 250 tons per day is
recycled through water
purification facilities.
Introduced eco-friendly
electric vehicles as
Business vehicles to
minimizing carbon and
toxic substances. Energy
efficiency has improved
by replacing electric
lights in all factories
with LED (light emitting
diodes), and harmful
gases in indoor
workplaces are also
managed through air
circulation systems.
HANMI Semiconductor is
investing about 30% of
its total R&D expenses to
clean tech (green
technology that reduces
resource consumption and
inhibits pollutant
generation).
Establishing sound
governance is also one of
their goals. HANMI
explains that they
strictly follow the
board's operation
regulations and ethical
guidelines. They are also
paying attention to
social contribution
activities. In order to
be with the local
community, they deliver
scholarships and
donations to Juan

Incheon, National Angel
Soup Kitchen, Save the
Children, Good Neighbors,
Holt Children's Services,
The Korea Heart
Foundation, and Medecins
Sans Frontieres, etc.
Various activities are
also underway to increase
the satisfaction of
executives and employees
of their own and of
contractors. HANMI's
workshop is equipped with
assembly line workbay and
logistics automation
robots. This move is
aimed at reducing the
movement of workers so
that they can focus on
core tasks. They also
installed AED (automatic
cardiac arresters)
throughout the company.
Relations with its
partners are also great.
