“All Nongshim factories in Korea obtained green company certification.”

All Nongshim factories in Korea obtained green company certification. A green company is a system in which the Ministry of Environment certifies eco-friendly business places that have contributed to improving the environment, such as reducing environmental pollutants and saving resources and energy. Nongshim Anyang plant was certified as a green company for the first time in 2016 and remaining five factories started processing of obtaining certification in 2019 and all factories finally acquired the green company certification. Nongshim adopted the environmental management system (ISO 14001) and 6 Sigma quality management to all factories in 2000 to carry out eco-friendly production activities, laying the foundation for green management. Recently, Nongshim continues to pursue GHG reduction activities such as the introduction of an integrated management system for air conditioning facilities in order to continuously reduce GHG emissions from all factories every year. In addition, Nongshim makes various efforts to reduce environmental pollutants by introducing a low-nox boiler at each factory.

Major performance related to greenhouse gas emissions

Nongshim sincerely implemented the GHG target management system (2012~2014) and the emission trading system (2015~) promoted by the Ministry of Environment and made continuous efforts to reduce GHG emissions by setting targets for GHG emissions for each plant since 2014.

Safety

Nongshim is thoroughly managing from the origin of raw materials to production and distribution, and intends to provide reliable and edible foods in order to make a better product

Carefully selected raw material management

Food safety management starts from the purchase of raw materials such as potatoes, shrimp, and rice, and only safe ingredients are used through regular analysis and on-site inspection.

Nongshim Food Safety Research

Nongshim was accredited by the Korean Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) for the first time int he industry in 1997 and it is capable of predicting and analyzing hazardous substances in advance, sharing analysis technology with various domestic and international food companies and institutions, and conducting systematic consulting.

Major analysis technologies

Pesticide residue inspection

All agricultural products and related products used by Nongshim are tested and monitored for 400 kinds of major pesticide residues using state-of-the-art analysis equipment (GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, etc.).

We adopted the
radiation inspection

We have introduced physical detection methods (PSL, TL, ESR methods) and chemical detection methods (using GC-MS) to manage raw materials to check whether irradiation is sterilized or not.

Radioactivity inspection

In order to secure radioactivity safety, gamma spectroscopy was introduced, and regulated nuclides (131I, 134+137Cs) are strictly monitored.

In order to secure radioactivity safety, gamma spectroscopy was introduced, and regulated nuclides (131I, 134+137Cs) are strictly monitored.

HACCP certification for all Nongshim factories

All of Nongshim's factories are operating a hygiene management system in accordance with HACCP standards to prevent food hazards from occurring.

※ What is Hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP)? A hygiene management system to prevent biological, chemical, and physical hazards from being mixed or contaminated in the food at each stage from the production of raw materials of food until consumption by the final consumer.

Nongshim’s ISO 9001 (quality management system) / 14001 (environmental management system)

Nongshim complies with and manage ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 standards in order to achieve the quality of Nongshim products that you can trust and eat.

International standard established by ISO. A system that ensures that the product and service systems provided to customers satisfy prescribed requirements and are continuously managed.

Nongshim Busan factory obtained FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification).

We comply with FSSC 22000 standards to ensure global level of safety for exported products.

※ What is Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000? It is the system to certify the food safety by complying with standards for hygiene, safety, security specified in all stages from raw material, production and logistics to produce products that meet the international standards for food safety/security recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).
