ONEGENE Group's founding spirit and management philosophy, which are based on cooperation and coexistence, are important goals that all employees must permanently uphold and adopt.

The values of truth, fairness, and trust based on them are the greatest assets that have brought us ONEGENE today, and they will continue to be the greatest values that will draw us forward and expand our future.

ONEGENE's business domain, which began with oil coolers, has expanded to the bio industry, and our scope of activities is expanding beyond Korea to the global market. We also strive for global ethical standards.

I will place ethics and human rights as the top management priority and put the company in the top global class. To achieve this, I will focus my attention and efforts as a person in charge and spare no management resources.

When ethics, human rights, and profits are in conflict, we must keep in mind that ONEGENE's management philosophy is to choose ethics and human rights over profits, and we must always make ethics and human rights the top priority standard for all our decisions and actions. We will thoroughly adhere to the principle of non-use of public office when it comes to the four major unethical acts, such as embezzlement, receiving money, manipulating information, and violating sexual ethics. This is the path to true corporate value, which will ultimately make Onegene a great and more sustainable company.
