CEO Declaration of Voluntary Compliance

As all members of the BC family put honesty, consideration, and cooperation as our top priorities, we practice people-oriented, top-oriented, and customer satisfaction throughout the company, and are entering the global market based on overseas patents.
In order to impress our customers and to leap forward as a global pharmaceutical company, we need to develop centered on ethical management and compliance management.
As part of that commitment, we declare the introduction of the Compliance Program.

Compliance program is a system that can improve the voluntary compliance awareness of our employees by suggesting specific behavioral standards for compliance with fair trade-related laws and prevent risks of violations of the law in advance.
We must serve as a good model in the pharmaceutical industry, where there is a high risk of violating the law.
In this regard, representative behavioral guidelines are as follows. We ask for your actions.

First, we do not provide excessive profits to customers or compete unfairly.
Second, we comply with the Fair Competition Codes approved by the Fair Trade Commission.
Third, we do not reduce the price or cancel the consignment contrary to the contents of the contract with the partner.

Any employee who violates the Code of Conduct or violates fair trade laws will be subject to HR penalties and strictly held accountable.
Please keep in mind that we will not tolerate any violations of the law regardless of the interests and interests of our employees.
