Hanmi Pharmaceutical has established detailed carbon neutrality strategies, reflecting the government's policy direction for renewable energy-centric energy transition.
Hanmi Pharmaceutical plans to fully initiate the adoption of renewable energy in 2026, targeting RE50 by 2035 and RE100 by 2040. Furthermore, by 2040, the company aims to not only achieve RE100 but also complete its carbon neutrality (Net Zero) implementation through the introduction of eco-friendly facilities. Carbon neutrality is a critical issue for the survival and growth of all, and thus it is a global challenge that must encompass not only companies but also their supply chains and local communities. Accordingly, the introduction of renewable energy is a core strategy that reflects Hanmi Pharmaceutical's commitment to carbon neutrality and social responsibility, spanning across the company, its supply chain, and the broader community.
Approximately 95% of Hanmi Pharmaceutical's greenhouse gas emissions originate from Pyeongtaek Bioplant and Paltan Smart Plant. Accordingly, the company is promoting the introduction of renewable energy centered on these two sites and has calculated a BAU (Business As Usual) scenario reflecting increased operational rates.
Hanmi Pharmaceutical aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 and 53% by 2035 compared to 2018, in line with the national 2035 NDC, and plans to achieve Net Zero by 2040. To achieve this, we will concentrate company-wide efforts on expanding renewable energy adoption, introducing eco-friendly facilities, and optimizing processes. Furthermore, having been designated as a target company for the Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Scheme in 2020, we continue to manage greenhouse gas emissions through the annual purchase of emission allowances.

Scope 1 & 2 Reduction Targets
For Scope 1 greenhouse gases, emissions from LNG boiler fuel usage at Paltan Smart Plant and Pyeongtaek Bioplant account for the majority, and long-term plans for eco-friendly fuel boilers such as hydrogen and biomass will be reviewed by 2040. For Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions in 2025, electricity accounts for 81% and steam for 19%. Hanmi Pharmaceutical has designated Scope 2 as a key target for carbon neutrality implementation and plans to fully initiate renewable energy adoption from 2026, primarily utilizing REC and PPA.
Through this, the company aims to achieve a 30% reduction by 2030 and a 53% reduction by 2035 compared to 2018 greenhouse gas emissions, with a target of achieving Net Zero by 2040.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical SCOPE 3 Carbon Neutrality Forecast Scenario
Hanmi Pharmaceutical is establishing a carbon-neutral foundation across its entire Value Chain, including calculating Scope 3 emissions for 2025, to achieve supply chain carbon neutrality.
Hanmi Pharmaceutical's Scope 3 emissions for 2025 are 81,516tCO2eq, with products/services accounting for approximately 59%. Accordingly, we plan to expand carbon neutrality education for partners and encourage participation in supply chain carbon neutrality initiatives to strengthen supply chain greenhouse gas emission management.
Hanmi Pharmaceutical conducts its own greenhouse gas/energy reduction activities annually to achieve the 2030/2035 NDC and 2040 Net Zero targets.
Through these reduction activities, we are cumulatively reducing 3,523tCO2eq of greenhouse gases and 70,988GJ of energy by 2025. Furthermore, in accordance with our Green Procurement Management Guidelines, we prioritize environmentally friendly products with excellent energy efficiency and low environmental impact when purchasing products and equipment, making procurement decisions accordingly. In 2025, the Paltan Smart Plant received commendation from the Gyeonggi Provincial Governor in recognition of its leading efforts in climate and environmental management activities such as carbon reduction and resource circulation. In the future, we plan to incorporate internal carbon costs into decision-making to increase the proportion of equipment investments with lower carbon emissions and continuously strive for long-term carbon emission reduction.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical continuously identifies and improves potential environmental issues that may arise during the product manufacturing process. Since 2012, we have adopted ISO 14001, an environmental management system, to establish a firm direction for environmental management and are building a global-standard environmental management system to minimize environmental pollution and negative impacts. Environmental targets are established for each detailed area of environmental management, including greenhouse gases, energy, water, waste, air pollutants, and water pollutants, and are regularly reported to and approved by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, to prevent accidents due to environmental risks, we have enacted risk management regulations and operate a pre-emptive environmental accident prevention system. In particular, by disclosing environmental information through the environmental information disclosure system, we are continuously striving to expand environmental management and green management.
Hanmi Pharmaceutical managed air pollutant emissions to be 70% below the legal permissible limits through activities to minimize pollutant discharge. In particular, dust emissions achieved a 61% reduction compared to 2018. Furthermore, the target of managing water pollutants to be 30% below the legal permissible limits for 2025 has been achieved. We continuously monitor and manage emission status using TMS (Telemonitoring System) and share data with the Ministry of Environment. In 2026, the Paltan Smart Plant plans to strengthen wastewater treatment performance through the construction of a wastewater process redundancy system and will continue to strive to prevent the generation of water pollutants in advance.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical strictly adheres to waste management as stipulated by laws such as the Waste Management Act. The company manages waste based on the principle of transparently recording and disclosing the entire process of generation, transportation, and treatment of general waste and designated waste (such as hazardous substances) through the Waste Proper Treatment System (Allbaro). In particular, pharmaceutical products must be disposed of as designated waste, thus they are thoroughly managed through verified designated waste disposal companies. Hanmi Pharmaceutical monitors waste generation and recycling volumes and identifies and implements various activities to increase the recycling rate. Since 2021, waste acids and alkalis, which were previously discharged as designated waste, have been self-processed for pH adjustment in wastewater treatment plants, thereby annually reducing waste generation. In 2025, the company plans to strengthen management activities to reduce waste generation and enhance recycling rates, including restricting outsourcing to incineration companies and implementing waste separate collection campaigns.

Hanmi Group uses multi-use cups in employee lounges and in-house cafes to reduce the use of disposable cups. The multi-use cups are made of materials from which environmental hormones are not detected. After employees use them, they return them to collection points, where a specialized cleaning company from a local self-sufficiency center collects and manages their cleaning. In 2025, the in-house cafe replaced the use of 55,430 disposable cups by utilizing multi-use cups, resulting in an annual reduction of approximately 1.27 tons of greenhouse gases. Additionally, coffee grounds generated at the in-house cafe are not treated as general waste but are collected through the Songpa-gu Office's coffee grounds recycling project and provided to local livestock farms as moisture adjusters and compost. The expected contribution to greenhouse gas reduction from coffee grounds recycling is 0.12 tons.

In-house campaign for Environment Day: 'Wanjeon DOYOU AGAIN'
As part of its eco-friendly campaign, Hanmi Pharmaceutical launched the employee participation program 'Wanjeon DOYOU AGAIN'. Employees sampled the new Wanjeon DOYOU product, received education on the correct separate disposal methods for aseptic packaging, and directly experienced the washing, drying, and unfolding processes.
Approximately 100 employees participated, pledging to practice environmental protection for future generations. The campaign focused on guiding the correct disposal methods for aseptic packaging: ▲washing it cleanly, ▲completely removing moisture, ▲unfolding and drying the pack, and ▲disposing of it separately from general paper cartons. Through this activity, Hanmi Pharmaceutical aims to raise employees' awareness of resource circulation and eco-friendly consumption, and to establish an internal participation base where environmental protection actions can naturally spread throughout work and daily life. Hanmi Pharmaceutical plans to continuously expand employee-participatory environmental campaigns in the future, continuing practical activities to promote resource circulation and reduce environmental burden.


Eco-friendly Donation Using Coffee Grounds
Hanmi Pharmaceutical began its resource recycling efforts in 2021 by donating coffee grounds generated at its in-house cafe to the social enterprise Coffee Cube.
It has continuously expanded activities to circulate everyday waste back into resources. Subsequently, the scope of resource circulation was transitioned to a community-centered model, and currently, coffee grounds from the in-house cafe are donated to Songpa-gu's Resource Utilization Division, thereby strengthening a local-based virtuous cycle system for resources. Although coffee grounds are classified as general waste, which increases disposal costs and environmental burden,
Songpa-gu collects them in dedicated containers from each establishment, removes foreign substances, then conducts bulk collection, and provides them to livestock farms, where they are recycled as agricultural resources such as compost and moisture regulators.
This cooperative model involving businesses, local governments, and local farms is an example of resource circulation that re-discovers the value of household waste and reduces environmental burden. Hanmi Pharmaceutical will continue to identify recycling possibilities for generated resources and continuously advance its resource-efficient virtuous cycle system.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical evaluated the materiality (likelihood × impact) of identified transition risks and, based on this, identified high-priority (High-grade) risks. Subsequently, the financial impact was analyzed by calculating the average financial amount for these risks across short-term (2026~2027), medium-term (2028~2030), and long-term (2031~2040) periods.
Type | Transition Risks | |
Content | T1. Increased Costs from Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme | |
Financial Impact | As Hanmi Pharmaceutical has been designated as an allocated entity under the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme since 2020, rising carbon credit prices and an increase in the proportion of paid allocations will lead to higher costs for purchasing insufficient emission allowances. Accordingly, the financial impact amount was calculated based on the sequential expansion of the paid allocation ratio (assuming 30-50%) and the expected carbon credit prices according to transition scenarios. | |

Hanmi Pharmaceutical conducted a climate change scenario analysis to understand the financial impacts of climate change-related risks and opportunities on the company and to develop response strategies for the international community's carbon neutrality demands.

Among the major risk factors, Hanmi Pharmaceutical analyzed the potential financial impacts of ‘strengthened greenhouse gas emission regulations and rising carbon credit prices’ for transition risks, and 8 acute and chronic risks for physical risks. The transition risk analysis was based on the NDCs, Below 2℃, and Net Zero 2050 scenarios from the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), applying the contents of Korea's 2030 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and 2050 Carbon Neutrality Scenarios A and B (Nov. 2021). For physical risks, the analysis was based on the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios. SSP scenarios are emission scenarios adopted in the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 6th Assessment Report, which project changes in future socioeconomic systems such as population, economy, and energy use, along with radiative forcing intensity by 2100.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical estimated the company's BAU1) scenario by utilizing NDCs, Net Zero 2050, and Below 2℃ transition scenarios based on NGFS (Network for Greening the Financial System), reflecting energy consumption and emissions allowance allocations according to production plan forecasts, and analyzed the potential carbon costs2) according to national emissions trading scheme regulatory scenarios and climate change scenarios. Hanmi Pharmaceutical's projected greenhouse gas emissions allowance allocation assumes a linear achievement of the 2050 Carbon Neutrality Scenario A and B, which targets an 80.4% reduction in the industrial sector. Accordingly, the emissions allowance allocation was calculated assuming a 54% reduction and an increase in the paid allocation ratio to 50%. The potential carbon price in NGFS scenarios is an estimated price derived through an integrated assessment model to comply with IPCC SSP (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway) reduction pathways at minimum cost, considering both socioeconomic damage from greenhouse gas emissions and the costs required for reduction.
1) BAU: Abbreviation for Business As Usual, representing projected greenhouse gas emissions if no special measures are taken for reduction.
2) Potential Carbon Cost: Shadow price used for selecting potential business risks due to future carbon regulations to formulate corporate strategy and evaluate investments.
Transition Risk Analysis Results
Hanmi Pharmaceutical's projected greenhouse gas emissions allowance allocation forecasts that allowances for 671,000 tCO2eq (57% of the total projected cumulative emissions of 1.18 million tCO2eq from 2026 to 2040) will need to be purchased. Hanmi Pharmaceutical's estimated carbon costs, assuming NGFS Korea carbon prices as allowance prices, show that the allowance price per 1 tCO2eq of greenhouse gas will rise to approximately KRW 70,000 to KRW 300,000 by 2040, and the annual carbon cost will amount to approximately KRW 3.1 billion under the NDCs scenario and KRW 13.1 billion under the Net Zero scenario.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical conducted a physical risk analysis for Paltan Smart Plant1), and Beijing Hanmi Pharmaceutical's business site, utilizing S&P Global Sustainable 1's Climanomics2) platform, based on the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenario. Physical risks were modeled by applying variables such as temperature and precipitation to eight types of physical risks, including chronic and acute extreme temperatures, urban floods, and wildfires. The Mean Annual Average Loss (MAAL) included direct financial impacts of climate risks on specific asset types, such as operational costs, capital costs, and business interruption impacts leading to losses.
1) Paltan Smart Plant and Pyeongtaek Bio Plant business sites are located in close proximity (within the analysis grid), and their inland urban location and industrial conditions are identical, thus Paltan Smart Plant was selected for representative analysis.
2) S&P Global's climate change scenario analysis platform for physical climate risk analysis

Financial Impact Analysis Results Based on Climate Change Scenarios_Physical Risks
Both Paltan Smart Plant and Beijing Hanmi Pharmaceutical are located in inland urban areas, and thus physical risks due to extreme temperatures and urban flooding were primarily identified. Asset losses from coastal flooding, river overflow, and water stress were not identified. Based on this analysis, according to SSP1 2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, Paltan Smart Plant is projected to incur losses of KRW 41.6 billion to KRW 57.5 billion by the 2050s, and Beijing Hanmi Pharmaceutical is projected to incur losses of KRW 3.7 billion to KRW 4.6 billion by the 2050s. Hanmi Pharmaceutical has established and operates a BCP (Business Continuity Planning) for disasters, and will continue to advance its response strategies according to the level of exposure to physical climate change risks.
