The Human Rights Management Policy applies equally to all stakeholders, including executives and employees, partners, and customers of Yuhan Chemical. In order to practice human rights management and prevent violations of human rights, we establish and operate a human rights management system, including training, grievance handling, and rights relief procedures.
We declare the following principles of human rights management to practice human rights management.
Article 1 Human Respect
We respect all executives and employees as equal human beings and actively strive to prevent inhumane treatment, either mentally or physically. If inhumane behaviors such as violence, sexual violence, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, swear words, harassment, or public humiliation are confirmed, we will take strict actions in accordance with the disciplinary regulations.
Article 2 Prohibition of Discrimination

In addition, we guarantee the right to collective bargaining through worker representatives, respect the results, and faithfully implement them.
