Providing sustainability support for suppliers
Amorepacific Group shares the value of sustainability management with its suppliers and pioneers the path of strong shared growth. We are dedicated to supporting our suppliers in establishing a virtuous circle of building stronger competitiveness by building safe and healthy workplace and securing a stable supply of talent.
Safety and Environment Consulting for Suppliers
Amorepacific Group implements a project that supports key suppliers in diagnosing their current competency in the areas of labor, human rights, safety, welfare, and environment, and develops ways to establish a method to make improvements. By offering consultations focused on safety and the work environment, all of which have an impact on the health of employees, we seek measures to strengthen the competitiveness of our small and medium-sized suppliers.
In 2022, we provided environmental consulting to 20 key suppliers, assessing the risks related to environmental laws and regulations, and developing the solutions. We were able to expect a reduction of risks through measures improving environmental law-related risks. We supported the purchase of safety equipment, including safety helmets, safety boots, dust-protective masks, and hearing-protection gear for first and second-tier suppliers who needed them.
Green Alliance, Solving Environmental Issues Together
To respond to environmental issues more actively and preemptively, Amorepacific Group conducts ‘Green Alliance’ program to share the value of sustainability with its suppliers. The program develops technology that reduces the impact on our environment and enhances our capability to respond to environmental and safety issues through collaborative research and development.
In 2019, our joint R&D effort for the environment led to the tangible achievement of the development of paper fixtures. Developed in collaboration with Pungnyun Greentech, a company that manufactures pulp products, the paper fixtures were applied in primera’s Organience products to replace plastic fixtures.
