AhnLab acquired ISO14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management systems, on July 21 and held a certification award ceremony on the 5th.
The ISO14001 certification ceremony held at AhnLab’s headquarters on this day was attended by officials including AhnLab CEO Kang Seok-gyun and Korea Management Certification Board (KMR) CEO Hwang Eun-ju.
ISO14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). An accredited certification body grants certification by reviewing the establishment of a company’s environmental management manual and process and actual implementation of environmental management.
In the certification review, AhnLab received positive evaluations for ‘CEO’s environmental management leadership and will to implement’ and ‘implementation of specific environmental key initiatives and communication with stakeholders.’
