HUMAX Networks, Inc. successfully completed an on-site audit, to acquire a new family-friendly certification from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. The audit began with an introduction to the family-friendly certification system, followed by an interview with the CEO, an inspection of the implementation status of family-friendly policies and programs, and interviews with employees to evaluate their satisfaction. The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family supports companies in helping employees balance family and work through the family-friendly certification system and in providing a better work environment. In this audit, HUMAX Networks was evaluated on its implementation of family-friendly policies and programs, such as flexible working hours, childcare leave, and childcare facilities in the workplace. HUMAX Networks has made various efforts to improve the quality of life of its employees, thoroughly practiced gender equality, and established a culture of mutual respect. Notably, this year, HUMAX Networks has actively recruited more female talent and supported talent development and work-life balance. "We are very pleased that our company’s efforts to create a family-friendly environment have been officially recognized through the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family’s family-friendly certification review,” said Jerry Lee, CEO of HUMAX Networks. “The certification review will be a great opportunity to identify what we are doing well and what we need to improve, and to enhance further. I believe that this certification will contribute to the company’s sustainable growth as part of our strategy to attract and retain excellent talent." The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will make a final decision on whether to grant certification through an internal review process based on the audit results and plans to announce the final results in early December. Companies that receive certification will be awarded a certificate in the name of the Minister of Gender Equality and Family, along with various support benefits. HUMAX Networks will continue to strive to ensure that employees experience a happier and more productive work environment through this certification.

HUMAX Networks has joined the 'Science Based Targets initiative' (SBTi) to participate to global efforts to address climate change and to drive sustainable business growth. SBTi is a global alliance established in 2015 by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), World Resources Institute (WRI), and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It provides companies with guidance on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to align with the goals of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. SBTi also handles the verification and approval of these targets. Currently, around 8,800 companies worldwide have committed to the SBTi, including 68 companies in South Korea, of which 18 are small and medium-sized enterprises. HUMAX Networks will set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets in line with the 1.5°C goal according to SBTi guidelines and submit an implementation plan within two years. We will continue to realize sustainable management until the day we receive approval for our Net-Zero goal aimed at carbon neutrality by implementing this plan.

We have recently transitioned our existing ISO 27001:2013 certification to the newly revised ISO/IEC 27001:2022. ISO/IEC 27001 is the most authoritative international certification standard in the field of information security, established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It covers information security policies, physical security, access control to information, and more. By obtaining this certification, our company can systematize and objectively demonstrate the processes, procedures, and documentation of information security as stipulated by ISO/IEC. It also allows us to build trust with our customers and business partners regarding our ability to manage personal information. Additionally, by applying a risk management process, we can preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, ensuring stakeholders that risks are appropriately managed. HUMAX Networks will continue to enhance our efforts in information security for our customers, business partners, employees, and other stakeholders. We are committed to thoroughly protecting all information through rigorous security activities, becoming an even more trusted company.
