Strategies and Systems
Dong-A Socio Group knows its social responsibilities also lies in working in company with the suppliers and the importance of maintaining a sustainable supply chain. Establishing its first supply chain management process in 2022, the Group has defined the scope of outsourcing for each service and product it serves, enacting and proclaiming the Supplier Code of Conduct for supplier management, periodically assessing risks the supply chain is exposed to, providing checklists to suppliers for self-assessment of their anti-bribery systems, human rights policies, labor practices and environment-friendliness, and keeping all suppliers educated and under the Group’s supervision by the annual due diligence processes to stay jointly responsible for the society.

Defining and Identifying the Scope of Supply Chain Management
The scope of supplier management varies from business to business, and from one Dong-A company to the other, categorizing the suppliers as follows:
Large-scale suppliers in terms of annual purchases, suppliers of key resources, and irreplaceable suppliers that have more impact to the Group than other suppliers
Suppliers not otherwise falling under important supplier criteria, but possibly impact the Group’s businesses
ESG Assessment Processes in Supply Chain Management
Dong-A Socio Group has each Dong-A company assess the suppliers based on not only the supply track records - meaning compliance with the delivery schedules and service agility - and credit ratings, but also from the perspective of ESG before registering them as an official supplier.
Supplier Code of Conduct
As part of the Group’s effort to ‘co-exist’ with the supplier, the Supplier Code of Conduct was enacted by Dong-A Socio Group to guide the suppliers’ operations regarding anti-bribery, human rights, labor practices and environment-friendliness.
