Labor-Management Committee
Hyosung Advanced Materials guarantees the legitimate labor union activities of its employees,
and employees can join local labor unions and industry labor unions as well as the company-specific labor unions.
Each business site transparently discloses the company's management status to on-site employees through regular business status briefing sessions and shift workers meetings.
Meanwhile, the Labor-Management Committee at each business site holds quarterly regular meetings to discuss welfare, grievances, and health & safety.
Complaints received are managed on a company-wide level whose improvements are continuously checked. In Vietnam and China, over 90% of employees are subject to collective agreements.
Support for Employee Value Creation
Hyosung Advanced Materials conducts various systems and support activities to help employees create performance and value. Work & life balance greatly affects not only the life satisfaction of employees, but also work satisfaction, so we are striving to create a healthy workplace where work-life balancing is realized.
Flexible Working Hours System
We comply with the statutory working hours of 52 hours per week and implement a flexible working hours system to increase work productivity. Employees are free to choose between the selective working-hour system and the flexible working-hour system, and overtime work allowances are paid for work outside the specified working hours. Through the flexible work system, employees are realizing a work balance by appropriately allocating working hours according to each individual's workload.
Systems of Refresh Vacation
and Designated Holidays
We operate a vacation system that allows employees to have time to recharge and increase work immersion. In the ‘Refresh Vacation System', a total of 5 days of annual leave can be used at one time. In addition through the “Designated Holiday System”, long consecutive holidays are assured by the company through bridging weekends and weekday holidays by adding annual paid leave in between.
RPA (Robotic Process Automation) to increase Work Efficiency
For simple tasks, RPA is used to make employees focused on high value-added tasks.
We have begun applying it to repetitive tasks such as notification of industry trends and inventory management at the headquarters and business sites,
and we plan to increase the work efficiency of our employees by gradually expanding the scope of RPA application.
A healthy and open organizational culture is an essential element of a good workplace. Hyosung Advanced Materials listens to employees' opinions
through employee satisfaction surveys, and raises their will to work through recognition and compensation for their performance.
In addition, various communication channels are operated so that all employees can better understand the management philosophy of the top management.
Through transparent and open communication, we actively listen to the voices of our employees and continue to create a good workplace.
Employee Satisfaction Survey
Through regular employee satisfaction surveys, we are striving to create a good company to work for. In order to deeply understand the sense of belonging and trust that employees feel about the company, we invited external experts in the field of organizational management in 2019 to conduct a survey of employee opinions. Particularly in 2021, we conducted employee satisfaction survey on whether the company’s family-friendly system was well-operated through employees of the headquarters. In addition, when there is a major change in the organization or work environment, or when key HR appointments are made, we conduct an employee opinion survey for in-depth understanding of the opinions of our employees. HAMC conducts organization issue diagnosis so that related problems and issues are addressed in advance to create a desirable corporate culture. The diagnosis takes place every quarter within the teams facing difficulties in organizational management to check their attendance management, ways of working (i.e. R&R, inter-department cooperation, work process), and leadership (i.e. instruction and reporting system, communication method). In 2021, we conducted the organization issue diagnosis of the finance team, accounting team, and internal accounting management TFT. The leader's satisfaction of team management was improved by providing solutions on the identified organizational management difficulties through interview with all team leaders in Korea (63 people).
Recognition and Reward for Performance
Hyosung Advanced Materials inspires employees' willingness to work through recognition and compensation for performance. Each business site presents awards in the name of the plant manager to employees who have contributed to the company's performance, and an company-wide awards ceremony is held every December. This year's Hyosung Advanced Materials Awards presents not only outstanding performers by job category, but also teams that have created results through collaboration, and awards are presented in domestic and overseas sectors. Regarding the creation of outstanding results, it is recommended as a nomination for the proud Hyosung Person of the Year Award at the group level.
Operation of Internal Communication Channels
On the intranet of the company, employees share business information and workplace news, and operate a in-house board to exchange opinions. Communicators at each business site post the status of the business site with photos, so that employees can freely share on-site news. In addition, the company actively provides feedback on suggestions and proposals posted by executives and employees, providing an active place for interactive communication.
Conversation with Management
The CEO provides a meeting for executives and team leaders to directly discuss and share the company's major performance,
issues, and management policies four time a year. At the same time, company-wide communication is promoted through question-and-answer sessions between
CEO and employees in order to reinforce transparent management activities.
Business status briefings are held twice a year at each plant for shift workers to share the company's management policy and business performance.
Overseas subsidiary heads and expatriates have time to understand management issues and directly communicate with management through leader meetings held twice a year during
the Global Consensus Meeting.

Family-friendly Management
and Maternity Protection System
Hyosung Advanced Materials operates a variety of systems related to providing a work environment with a balance between work and life to enhance employee engagement and job satisfaction. In addition to Family Day when employees can interact with their families, the maternity protection system relieves the burden of female employees who are pregnant, giving birth, and raising children. We are also contributing to alleviating the burden of raising children of employees through the operation of in-house daycare centers at our major business sites.
Family-friendly Management
Hyosung Advanced Materials is striving to become a company that pursues a happy life through direct communication between employees and their families.
We are operating various programs and maternity protection systems for employees and their families.
Headquarters and business sites operate Family Day, which invites the children of employees to visit the work environment and enhance understanding of their parents.
In recognition of these activities, we obtained family-friendly certification from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2018.
Maternity Protection System
We are implementing various maternity protection systems for female employees who are pregnant, giving birth or raising children. We provide 90 days maternity leave, leave for prenatal diagnosis, and reduction of working hours by 2 hours a day during pregnancy. We provide support for vacation and medical expenses even in case of miscarriage or stillbirth. In addition, we are implementing systems such as maternity leave for spouses, family care leave that can be used when the family is sick, and restrictions on night and holiday work for pregnant women.
Childcare Support System
Employees can take parental leave within one year after childbirth, or take advantage of the reduced work hours for child caring,
which reduces working hours from 52 hours a week to 15-30 hours.
In addition, we are guaranteed a feeding time of 30 minutes or more twice a day for employees who need nursing, and a nursing room is in operation.
Also, we operate daycare centers at workplaces in Mapo and Ulsan to provide quality childcare through daycare centers and support employees to focus on their work.

Risk Management
Healthy Workplace
In order to provide a safe and comfortable workplace for its employees, we established a safety & health policy, and provides training continuously to comply with the policy. We also operate safety & health management system which focuses on the safety & health of the workplace and its employees. Each business site at Hyosung Advanced Materials established a safety and health management system based on the safety and health work manual. Moreover, under the management of Safety & Environment Team at each business site, we promote safety and health, practice accident prevention activities, and conduct regular safety checks led by the top management. In addition, we execute regular monitoring, training support and activities to raise the self-safety management capability and safety-related awareness of the employees from partner companies. Not only excellence in Korea, in case of overseas safety management activities, Jiaxing subsidiary was awarded with the Excellent Safety Management Award by the Jiaxing Economic Development Zone in February 2019.
Safety and Health Management System
At the business sites where the possibility of safety accidents always exists, we have established a safety & health management system based on the manual managed by the Safety & Environment Team at each business site, and operate various programs to promote the health of employees.
Operation of Company-wide Safety Inspection Committee
In order to prevent safety accidents and improve the capability of safety management, we have established the Company-wide Safety Inspection Committee
which consist of the heads of the Safety Environment Teams at each business site to conduct regular safety inspection twice per year since 2018.
The issues that are identified from the regular safety inspections at all domestic and overseas business sites are discussed and shared amongst representatives, and they are finally reported to the CEO.
Then, we take appropriate actions for each case to improve the safety management quality by sharing the best practices across our business sites.
In addition, we hold a meeting with representatives of safety and health from suppliers to identify major safety and health issues based on the importance and urgency, and discuss solutions.
The important issues are shared with the Safety Inspection Committee.
Executive-led Company-wide Safety and Health Inspection
HAMC conducts company-wide workplace safety and health inspections under the supervision of PU Presidents and Plant Managers in order to preemptively cope
with workplace accidents that may occur in the production lines.
Plant managers, department managers and supervisors carry out safety inspections for key assets within plants, and the status of response in the event of an accident.
Also, staffs of the Safety Environment Team and members of the Safety and Health Committee from labor union also participate in the inspection to enhance effectiveness.
After the inspection, identified issues and areas for improvements are reported to the CEO and Green Management Committee.
We also check the employees’ status of health during certain season such as the summer heat wave. As such, we actively encourage our employees to be aware of environmental safety,
fire awareness, and health care so that they make efforts to prevent accidents and disasters.
Industrial Safety & Health Committee
HAMC continuously keeps track of safety and health issues that require decision-making through regular meetings of the Industrial Safety and Health Committee between labor and management. In particular, by operating the working-level safety and health committee between hourly workers and management to resolve related complaints at the working site in a timely manner, we are building trust between two sides and creating a safe workplace. In addition, we conduct regular labor-management joint inspection involving not only our employees but also supplier companies. In addition, we continue to invest in safety facilities and provide training and education to promote safety awareness.
Implementation of Continuous Safety Training
HAMC has established a safe workplace autonomically by improving employees’ awareness of safety. In addition to safety training, we are conducting various activities such as campaigns and improvement activities to prevent serious disasters preemptively through activities to spread safety culture. In accordance with the annual safety and health training plan, we provide regular safety and health training to all employees at each business site once a month. We also provide additional safety training to the supervisors as well as other necessary trainings such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and hazardous chemicals trainings to employees working in the respective field. Employees of our suppliers especially those handling hazardous substances receive safety trainings as well.
Safety and Health Management Activities by Department
Health and safety management activities are carried out by all departments, not by designated department alone, for the spread of safety culture in the workplace. In cooperation with the Safety Environment Team, each operational department finds risk factors through self-control safety inspection and carries out improvement activities after selecting a safety and health inspection theme that is suitable for its condition and characteristics. In addition, when a safety accident occurs, the head of the corresponding department immediately reports the details of the accident in accordance with the manual, and the plant manager establishes fundamental safety measure. Furthermore, we prevent similar accidents by sharing details and safety measure about the accident with other plants and business sites.
Activities to Secure Safety of Employees
Based on the safety management regulations, HAMC provides safety equipment to all employees including suppliers regardless of their affiliation on production and construction activities, and are required to wear them. We guide about mandatory wearing areas where they require protective gears such as safety helmets, gas masks, dustproof masks, earplugs, protective goggles, safety glasses, and heat-resisting gloves are required to wear by each process. In case of violation of the regulations, we give warnings to the violators and request improvement measures from the violator’s head of the department, and if they violate more than two times, we refer them to the disciplinary committee of the workplace.
Activities of Hazardous Chemical Substances Management
HAMC conducts overall inspection on environmental and safety including facilities of hazardous chemical substances by designating
an inspection day from each department and suppliers every week.
In addition, we provide Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) training, which includes information on the hazard and risk of chemicals, to the managers working in the chemical handling department
in advance.
The trainings for those who work in the hazardous chemical field are provided not only to our employees but also to the employees of our suppliers each year.
In case of loading chemical substances in the business site, staff members of the Safety & Environment Team, Production Team, and Quality Assurance Team are present to inspect
the entire process from parking and stopping of chemical vehicles to connection and injection of piping for unloading materials.
Operation of Employees Health Promotion Program
HAMC conducts various activities to promote the health of our employees and the suppliers. In particular, we provide trainings on job-related stress, musculoskeletal disease prevention, hearing preservation, brain cardiovascular disease prevention, and operate health fund consisting of obesity, non-smoking, and musculoskeletal, and support improvement of health care facilities. To this end, Ulsan Plant was selected as “The Best Workplace for Promoting Workers’ Health” in 2018 for voluntary activities to promote workers’ health.

Risk Management
Hyosung Advanced Materials defines and manages potential uncertainties in the market as well as internal and external risks and opportunities within its risk management system. We established a risk prevention system that enables HAMC to tackle risks preemptively by drawing key risks in accordance with likelihood and impact of risk, in financial, business continuity and management areas. In addition, we operate a risk management process that is divided into pre- and post-mortem risks, and selectively respond to risks that have a large impact when they occur. In particular, the Risk Management Committee(RMC), which is established under the direct management of the CEO, consists of the Head of corporate strategy(CSO), the Head of corporate finance(CFO), and the Head of corporate administration(CAO). In the event of an enterprise-wide risk situation, the RMC supports, prepares and promptly executes countermeasures with key executives and team leaders in charge of the relevant issues enabling effective risk management. In addition, risk prevention planning and activities are regularly checked and monitored, and its results are reported to the Sustainability Steering Committee.

Information & Security Risk
HAMC has established and applied a systematic information security management system to protect all business-related trade secrets, core technologies, R&D information, customer information, and personal information. In order to respond to external infringements, we are implementing security management at all times or on a regular basis to the office area and process facility area through administrative/physical control. In addition, in order to prepare for external security attacks, including hacking, in real time, we regularly inspect security vulnerabilities, conduct mock hacking, and implement related trainings for employees to continuously improve our security level and response capabilities. HAMC provides information security education to employees at least once a year to raise the awareness among employees about security.

Document Centralization System - ECM
HAMC established the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system from 2019 and completed application of the system in all business sites at the end of 2020. Through ECM, document security policy is maintained consistently within the entire company, and a more clear visibility of document distribution process is possible. We are contributing to the increase of productivity during remote-based working by creating a convenient environment to access to ECM and utilize the document. The system has been recently updated so that a VPN (Virtual Private Network) request for access to the work system from outside of the company can be proceeded at the same time when registering for remote- based working(i.e. working at home due to COVID-19) and business travels.
We strengthen document security and reduce the possibility of information loss and leakage by establishing a robust control system over document export, storage to user PCs, and document distribution. The entire lifecycle of a document is managed through the system, and importing and sharing activities of documents are centrally controlled and monitored by the system.
