Expanding Social Contribution Activities for Local Communities
Hope 365 (Incorporated Association) MOU Conclusion
On December 3, 2025, ST Pharm concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hope 365, an incorporated association located in Ansan, to establish a foundation for mutual cooperation. Hope 365 is a non-profit organization supporting foreign residents and multicultural families living in the Ansan area, operating various welfare projects such as providing shelters and free meals, free medical care, and cultural experiences. This agreement was prepared to clarify the scope of cooperation and roles between the two organizations and to systematically pursue sustainable social contribution activities linked to the local community. The two organizations intend to expand activities that provide practical help to the local community through close cooperation going forward.
Local Community Sponsorship
ST Pharm practices a culture of sharing by making donations to organizations in the local community requiring support every year-end. In December 2025, we visited the Elim Nursing Home in Siheung and Hope 365 in Ansan and delivered donations of KRW 5 million each, for a total of KRW 10 million. The Hope 365 donation is used to support multicultural families and single-parent families facing gaps in welfare services, and the Elim Nursing Home donation is used to support basic-livelihood-security recipients and near-poor seniors who are not receiving care from nursing facilities. Through regular sponsorship, we seek to promote coexistence with local community members and continuously fulfill our corporate social responsibility.
Expanding Employment of People with Disabilities
ST Pharm continues to expand its hiring of people with disabilities to support their stable employment and self-reliance in the local community. In doing so, we aim to reduce employment barriers faced by vulnerable groups and create an inclusive employment environment that grows together with the local community. Following 5 hires in 2024, we additionally hired 2 in 2025, so that as of the end of 2025, a total of 7 people with disabilities are working. Currently, 5 athletes and 2 artists are employed, and we support them so that they can demonstrate their respective expertise and capabilities. We plan to continuously expand the employment of people with disabilities through additional hiring in 2026 as well.
Manager Kimjang Volunteer Activity
As the first cooperation activity after concluding the MOU with Hope 365, ST Pharm conducted “Manager Kimjang Volunteer Activity.” This activity was designed to encourage managers to actively participate in community sharing activities and establish a foundation for fostering a culture of social contribution. Approximately 60 managers at the team leader level and above participated in the event, preparing kimchi with approximately 400 heads of cabbage and delivering it to the local community. We plan to continuously strengthen cooperation with the local community by expanding the scope of participation and diversifying the activities going forward.
Dong-A Pharmaceutical Love Sharing Bazaar
As part of social contribution activities to support vulnerable groups in the area, ST Pharm participates in the “Dong-A Pharmaceutical Love Sharing Bazaar,” which has been held since 2009. This bazaar is operated for the purpose of spreading a local community sharing culture, and all event proceeds are used for various welfare programs such as scholarship support, free meal service sponsorship, and support for vulnerable groups. On May 29, 2025, our HR & General Affairs Team attended the bazaar held at the Dong-A Pharmaceutical headquarters in Yongdu-dong and supported event management. We plan to continue promoting the value of mutual growth with the local community by actively participating in Group-level sharing activities going forward.
Industry-Academia Cooperation Job Training
ST Pharm conducted industry-academia cooperation job training to provide field-oriented practical knowledge and know-how and enhance professional capabilities that can be directly applied to job functions. In addition, by revitalizing the exchange of knowledge and experience between industry and academia, we sought to further enhance expertise in the research, quality, and production fields. This training was conducted over 3 days at the Hanyang University ERICA Campus in August 2025. A total of 16 research, quality, and manufacturing team leaders—including the CEO, Head of the Research & Development Division, and plant managers—participated as in-house instructors, and about 70 ST Pharm employees, graduate students belonging to Hanyang University ERICA, and related-institution personnel attended together. The training course included lectures on basic knowledge related to research, quality, and production, as well as a special expert lecture by Professor Sun-Joon Min of Hanyang University, sharing academic insights and industry on-site application cases.
Laptop Reuse Project
As part of social contribution activities linking resource recycling and the practice of sharing, ST Pharm conducted a resource reuse project utilizing old IT assets. Instead of disposing of usable old laptops, we reused them through an employee auction, thereby simultaneously promoting efficient use of resources and reducing environmental burden. In December 2025, we conducted an in-house auction for 7 old laptops, raising KRW 1,746,000 in proceeds. This amount is scheduled to be donated in full to the local community at a later date.
Group Blood Donation Campaign
As part of spreading a life-sharing culture, ST Pharm conducts group blood donation at least twice a year to support patients in need of transfusions. It is operated based on the voluntary participation of employees and has become an ongoing sharing initiative with the local community. In 2025, we conducted group blood donation a total of 4 times at the Banwol Campus and the Sihwa Campus. We intend to practice the value of respect for life through regular blood donation activities going forward.
