Compliance

HK inno.N promotes the CP culture based on the Code of Conduct and Vision and
HK inno.N’s 8 Key Components of CP, embedding the Fair Trade Compliance into its operations.

Compliance

Only ethical management based on CP No. 1 management philosophy is the path to hope for becoming a 100-year-old company.

The year of the blue snake, 2025, has dawned.
Based on our ‘CP No. 1 management philosophy’, HK inno.N strives to fulfill its legal and ethical obligations in all its business under the belief that it is a responsible company. In particular, the pharmaceutical industry plays an important role in protecting the lives and health of patients and consumers, and thus, HK inno.N regards compliance with CP as its most important value.
2024 was a year in which the obligations of the pharmaceutical industry were further expanded due to the implementation of new systems such as ‘Public Disclosure of Expenditure Reports’ and ‘CSO Reporting System’. We focused on further strengthening trust with customers and society based on our already prepared CP capabilities. As a result, we were able to obtain an ‘AA’ grade in the CP rating evaluation in 2024, following 2017 and 2021, making it a year in which CP operation was recognized both domestically and internationally.
Even in 2025, HK inno.N will not rest on its laurels. We will continue to review CP operations that have already become a culture and further strengthen the CP capabilities of all employees.
In addition, we will expand close third-party management and compliance operation dissemination to grow together with stakeholders.
As the CEO and the autonomous compliance manager, I will provide all my support and take the lead in ethical management.
I promise you that we will continue to make efforts to deliver greater trust and value.
Thank you.

Self-Compliance Manager
CEO

Kwak Dal-won

We will spread the compliance culture and grow into a CP model company that is continuously recognized both internally and externally.

HK inno.N operates compliance based on honesty and transparency as core values shared by all employees. All employees are thoroughly following regulations and are continuously receiving education and training on the Fair Trade Act, Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and laws that must be observed in the pharmaceutical industry to prevent violations, thereby further solidifying the company's trust.
In 2025, we will once again focus on spreading CP culture. We will expand the reward and punishment system based on the operation of clear CP guidelines. In addition, we plan to produce various employee participation content, and we expect that this will continue to spread the compliance culture through voluntary participation.
There are new obligations and regulations planned, such as mandatory education due to the implementation of the CSO reporting system and the 5th revision of the Fair Competition Regulations, but the new system will provide an opportunity for those who are prepared to prove their capabilities.
In order to make this year a year of spreading CP culture together with all the employees of HK inno.N who are prepared, I will communicate with the field as a joint autonomous compliance manager and prioritize compliance.
Thank you.
