Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) projects the era of bionomics is well-

known worldwide by the year 2030 due to innovative convergent in biotechnology. The market size is

expected to double in 10 years by 2023. International organizations like UN and World Business for

Sustainable Development (WBCSD) acknowledge the importance of Biodiversity conservation to the

environment. Korea Business Council for Sustainable Development (KBCSD) and Korea Biotechnology

Industry Organization (KoreaBIO) launched Biz N Biodiversity Platform (BNBP) Secretariat to help

businesses to strive for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that preserving Biodiversity and

sustainable use of genetic resources. Secretariat supports the preservation of Biodiversity by actively

involving with the industry. With government affiliation, BNBP will provide guidelines that strictly

support businesses to enter the global market. Please join us in the contribution of invigoration to the

business.

According to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

(IPBES) report, the economic value of ‘pollination’ that insects and animals, including bees and

butterflies transport pollen and make plants bear fruit, is estimated to be US $ 235 to $ 577 billion.

These results suggest the economic benefits and importance of biodiversity. In order to preserve

biodiversity, the Korean government is making efforts to preserve biodiversity by establishing a ‘basic

plan for nature conservation’ ahead of the ratification of Nagoya Protocol by the National Assembly,

and will increase awareness of the importance of biodiversity throughout the industry and actively

support the biodiversity conservation activities of companies through establishment of a public-private

partnership. Based on these endeavors, we hope that all of us will be able to create the cornerstone of

an environmental welfare nation that will be passed on to future generations. Thank you.

As biotechnology is developing and various drugs, cosmetics and health supplements using biology

are developed, the value of biology is newly on the rise. Biodiversity is the foundation of bio industry,

and although it provides necessary raw ingredients stably and provide new business opportunity

through development of new substance, the rate of loss is accelerating due to severe environmental

pollution and rapid climate change. In order to reduce the rate of loss of Biodiversity and enhance the

awareness on the importance of Biodiversity, Convention on Biological Diversity was adopted in 1992,

and Nagoya Protocol on the approach of genetic resource and fair profit share took effect in 2014.

‘BNBP Secretariat’, jointly launched by KoreaBIO and KBCSD, will continue activities for awareness

improvement in the importance of Biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and strengthen the

ability counteract against Nagoya Protocol, to fulfill the pivotal role in conservation of Biodiversity.

Conservation of marine ecosystem and publication on Biodiversity

POSCO is leading the restoration of marine ecosystem using steel slags.

Triton is the mythological Greek god of the sea that calls fish and dolphins by

blowing on a twisted conch shell like a trumpet. He has the ability to restore

sea forests. It is also the brand name for the low-carbon artificial fish reef

using steel slag as aggregate. Triton, which is used to restore coastal areas

damaged by whitening caused by rising sea temperatures, helps restore

marine resources such as seaweeds, fish and shellfish. Steel slag, the main

material for Tri ton, has high content in minerals such as calcium and iron

that are beneficial to the marine ecology, which speed up the growth and

photosynthesis of seaweeds, purifies polluted sediments and water quality

A sea forest made with Triton can fixate CO2 due to carbonization of the slag

and photosynthesis of seaweeds. After signing an MOU with the Ministry

of Oceans and Fisheries in 2007 for establishing measures against marine

climate change, POSCO signed another MOU in 2010 for building sea forests

and marine resources. Under this agreement, we are continuing the project

for building sea forests in cooperation with FIRA (Fisher¬ies Resources

Agency) and RIST

POSCO plans to reinforce the cooperative ac tivities with the government,

civilians (fishing villages), and aca demia to build new sea forest models,

and for the management of existing marine forests and surveying their

effectiveness.

For the purpose to awake awareness on endangered species and

protect them, POSCO has been working on publication project with civic

environment groups on endangered species. They chose eagle-owl in 2014

and red-crowned crane in 2015 to provide the opportunity to think about

Biodiversity and environment in various sectors through the publication of

books that included experiences and episodes from figures in all levels of

society. Hoping to see the awareness in Biodiversity expanding, POSCO

will continue to expand environmental contribution activities with the

cooperation of civic environmental organizations.

Coralline flat

A phenomenon where beneficial marine algae like seaweed, kelp, sargassum or

kajime disappear and white crustose coralline algae settle down on the coastal

bedrock area, which makes the fishes and shellfishes that use marine algae as

spawning ground or food disappear- also known as sea desertification.

Endangered Natural Treasure Protection Campaign

S-OIL is implementing various social contribution activities for environment,

heroes, local community and needy people through the social contribution

program called ‘Sunshine Sharing Campaign’. Among them, the ‘Natural

Treasure Protection Program’ has selected otters in 2008, Red-Crowned

Crane in 2009, Eoreumchi (Cyprinid Fish) in 2010, and Long-Horned Beetle

in 2013 and have been operating 5 kinds of support programs. S-OIL has

been continuously making small efforts to the conservation of biodiversity

and sustainable use by participating in the treatment of biospecies with

environmental damage and constructing safety net through the protection

of endangered natural treasure. S-OIL’s Natural Treasure Protection Program

offers direct activities including species conservation research, treatment,

feeding, increase in population and discharge, and are also operating

ecology camps and University Students’ Natural Treasure Protection Public

Service Corps to help understand natural treasures better and spread more

information about the value and importance of natural treasures. S-OIL has

supported total 1.7 billion won in the last 9 years for the protection of 4

endangered species, has held children’s natural treasures classes to over

3,000 children from low-income families, is operating University Students’

Natural Treasure Protection Public Service Corps of 280 university students,

and over 3,500 employee family members are participating in volunteer

activities.

S-OIL is sponsoring the research and activities of endangered species

organizations that are working under harsh conditions. Association of Korean

Otter Conservation, Korean Association for Bird Protection, Crane Protection

Association, Korean Association for Conservation of Freshwater Fish, and

Natural Treasure Insect Research Center are working as partners. S-OIL

is striving to provide more efficient and professional protection activities

through this.

Spreading the importance of natural treasures among children of future

generation is very important as well. S-OIL works with Korea Food for the

Hungry International in the operation of 1-day natural treasure class on

400 children from low-income families each year. They visit Hwacheon for

otters, Cheorwon for red-crowned cranes, Cheongpyeong for Eoreumchi

(cyprinid fish), and Yeongwol for long-horned beetle for education on

protected species and natural experience learning, providing the opportunity

for children from low-income families to recognize the importance of

environmental protection.

S-OIL holds family volunteer activities that combine ecological education

each year, including fry discharge, otter discharge, feeding red-crowned

crane in Cheorwon, and visiting insect museum in Yeongwol. These

programs are very popular within the company, and have 400~500 people

participating 4 times a year.

Through the sisterhood relationship units in Hwacheon and Cheorwon,

S-OIL is supporting organic research and protection activities of protected

species organizations in DMZ area. Also, the family volunteer groups pay

visits to the relevant military unit for encouragement, providing a different

kind of experience. It is setting an example of private-corporation-military

cooperation for ecological protection in DMZ area.

To us humans that are living in the Mother Nature, protecting the precious

value that we created is important, but we have the responsibility to

preserve the natural environment that serves as the base for people, along

with numerous animals and plants. As a way to join in such responsibility,

S-OIL’s social contribution activities to protect endangered natural treasures

will continue on in the future.

S-OIL is also operating S-OIL University Students’ Natural Treasure

Protection Public Service Corps with young university students. With

students in biology, veterinary science and general studies, they are

implementing various activities including the support for understanding

of protected species and civic promotion activities. Starting with the

starting ceremony each July, the group visits organizations related to the

4 protected species to understand the current status of ecosystem and

understand the organization’s activities. Next, in connection with these

organizations, USNTPPSC frequently supports organization activities and

holds nationwide awareness improvement campaign. Also, the advisory

committee consists of professors in relevant departments, so these

activities serve as practical activities that provide actual help in the

protection of natural treasure.

BEST PRACTICE03

Conserving and Utilizing Biodiversity and Sharing Benefit

Among over 3,000 species of chrysanthemum, AmorePacific focused on

Chrysanthemum indicum, which is known to be used as medical and

edible purposes. Among them, it discovered that white chrysanthemum

indicum not only has more outstanding whitening effect than the general

yellow chrysanthemum and existing whitening ingredient, but also can

control expression of gene related to freckles. It was back in 2010 when

AmorePacific began their joint research with Kugya Farm to restore the

rare white chrysanthemum for the first time in the world, and this led to

the development of new varieties ‘Gukyaseolhwa’ and ‘Gukyasuyul’in

2012. As a result of such efforts, AmorePacific released products like

‘Hanyul White Chrysanthemum Powder Serum’ and ‘Hanyul White

Chrysanthemum Sun Screen’.

AmorePacific is striving to remind the importance of shrub hibiscus and

spread its inherent beauty. After the MOU (2014) with Chollipo Arboretum

Foundation, which has been studying shrub hibiscus for decades, it has

been working on joint research and developed a new variety that has

outstanding effects in moisturizing. Moreover it has been working on its

proliferation since 2016. It also discovered a natural moisturizing factor

in the bark of Shrub hibiscus, and launched Mamonde Moisture Ceramide

intense Cream to successfully spread the value of Shrub hibiscus’s vitality.

In addition, a part of profit made from the sales of Mamonde Moisture

Ceramide Cream was donated to Chollipo Arboretum Foundation’s

restoration project for yellow rosemallow in February 2016.

AmorePacific is also working on the restoration of rare native beans, to

reinforce competitiveness of native beans that are disappearing with the

increased use of GMO beans, to conserve biodiversity and to investigate

and value of native resources. In 2011, it bought about 140 species of rare

native beans through Rural Development Administration and proceeded

with cultivation for restoration and proliferation. Passing through the

cultivation complex in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, this led to the seed multiplication

and species classification. In September 2013, it signed MOU for the

creation of AmorePacific complex specializing in beans and development

of functional material through restoration and research of rare native

beans, and succeeded in mass cultivation of flat beans in the clean areas

of Yeongweol, Gangwon-do. AmorePacific Technology Research Center

focuses on napttegikong, horangikong and saeal with anti-oxidant and

anti-aging ingredients, along with wild soybean, which contains various

flavonoids in the study for the use of beans as raw materials.

AmorePacific has been carrying out Beautiful Fair Trade, which is

designed to contribute to the customer, environment and society

positively by following three principles of raw material safety,

environmental protection, and contributions to the local community

in the processes of selecting and purchasing raw materials, since

2010. Starting with camellia in Jeju Dongbaek village in February

2010, AmorePacific has been purchasing outstanding raw ingredients

through the agreements with 9 regions of Korea, and expanded it

internationally in 2013. The region that entered into Beautiful Fair

Trade agreement with AmorePacific in 2013 is Jamui district in Bihar

state, India. AmorePacific has proceeded with the Global Beautiful

Fair Trade project, where it purchase mango seeds from Jamui district

to produce mango butter, Mango seeds were used as AmorePacific’s

germination plant brand, Primera’s Mango Butter Comforting Body

Lotion; Primera has been continuing donations to the region through

‘Let’s Love’ campaign, where it present mango seedlings to families

with girls in Jamui.

For the conservation of natural ecology, AmorePacific has been

supporting Biodiversity Foundation since its establishment to educate

and inform the biodiversity to the public. Biodiversity Foundation is

a non-profit organization that researches wild animals and plants

and strives to solve the problems of environmental destruction in

more fundamental ways. Also, a naturalist brand, Primera, spreads

the importance of the wetland’s ecosystem through ‘Love the

Earth’ campaign, and continues donations to ‘Ecology of Wetlands

Conservation Project’.

AmorePacific has been participating in the research and preservation

activities for local Jeju plants and traditional knowledge related to

them. In order to help understand Jeju’s native plants and contribute

to the conservation activities, it have published <Stories of Beautiful

Plants in Jeju>, which includes traditional knowledge on native plants

of Jeju, twice in 2012 and 2014. The book includes miniatures and

dermatological effects of Jeju native plants, and Jeju’s traditional

knowledge related to those species. Also, in 2015, it published a raw

material plant catalog <Beyond Flower>, including 100 miniatures of

Korean traditional plants, in order to record, preserve and spread about

Korea’s plants. This catalog includes the detailed structure, form and

information of raw ingredients, where AmorePacific’s old know-hows in

plants are summarized in.

In November 2012, AmorePacific hosted ‘Joint Symposium for Biodiversity

Conservation and Sustainable Development’ with Korea Federation of

Women’s Science & Technology Associations. This symposium was held for

cooperative approach among industry-academia-research for Biodiversity

conservation and formation of social sympathy, and gave an opportunity to

seek the role of women’s science and technology circle for practical plans.

In November 2013 as well, it hosted ‘Asia Women Eco-Science Forum 2013’

with Korea Federation of Women’s Science & Technology Associations

on the theme of ‘Biodiversity and Sustainable Development’, with faculty

and rising women scientists from over 10 Asian countries participating, to

examine the status of Biodiversity in different Asian countries and discuss

for the better future.

AmorePacific is doing various activities for the conservation of Biodiversity based on international convention. Through the construction of joint

cooperative relationship with various research organizations, it have been continuing survey and research in Biodiversity, and are contributing

to the conservation of Biodiversity by researching the endemic native species and utilizing them in products. In addition, AmorePacific

cooperates with the local community to utilize the local Biodiversity in sustainable ways, and are putting the efforts to distribute the profit that

is generated in the process of such use. Against Nagoya Protocol regarding ABS (Access to genetic resources and Benefit-Sharing) that is to be

in effect, AmorePacific is striving to secure sovereign power on domestic biological genetic resource and traditional knowledge through studies

in capitalization of Biodiversity. In addition, it are working on securing resource for endemic biological resource and intellectual property

management such as obtaining rights through patent application as well.

The Development of Novel Botanical Drugs that Maximizes the Value of Biological Resources

Preparation Combat the Threats of Nagoya Protocol

Professor Tu Youyou from China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine

has once made a headline for her receipt of Nobel Prize on October 5,

2015 for the development of treatment substance called artemisinin from

Artemisia annua L for malaria, a life-threatening disease that infects over

200 million people annually. In Korea, only 45,000 out of 100,000 species

of Artemisia annua L. have been identified, and their biological activities

are mostly unidentified. On the other hand, we could expect an infinite

possibility of discovering a innovative medicinal ingredient like Artemisia

annua L..

Dong-A ST is constantly striving to develop new botanical drugs using

domestic biological resources. One of its representative product is called

Stillen®, extracted from Artemisiae Argyi Folium grown in Ganghwa-

do Island, it is the best selling gastritis treatment in Korea. Besides, it

also possesses Motilitone® as one of the best treatments for functional

dyspepsia in the market.

Recently, as brain neurodegenerative disease are among the most serious

health problems facing modern society, Dong-A ST is working on the

development of treatments based on domestic biological resources.

Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease is being developed using Korea’s native

biological resources – Moutan Root Bark, Bupleurum Root, Angelica

Dahurica Root – and treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease using Mori Fructus

and Poria cocos skin. These neurodegenerative diseases are widely

regarded as intractable disease that lack of effective treatments, however,

the new botanical drugs being developed by Dong-A ST are expected to

modify the diseases fundamentally. The future success of the treatments

would make a remarkable case that Korean biological resources contribute

greatly to human health.

The history of new drug development in Korea began in 1999 with a

platinum anticancer drug ‘Sunpla®’. By the end of the first half of 2016,

27 new drugs and 8 new botanical drugs have been developed. It is a

satisfactory quantity of new drugs developed in less than 20 years, yet

not satisfactory performance in global market, as only a few of them

were approved in developed countries.

Dong-A ST is focusing on developing new botanical drugs not only in Korea,

but in the global market. The efforts are not only in optimizing the know-

hows but also in pursuing open-innovation to work with both domestic and

international experts from universities and research institutions. As a result,

a quality control system that is considered as fundamental in developing

new botanical drug was successfully established, which helps Dong-A

to possess world-class competitiveness. Dong-A ST believes that a local

development should be essential to be approved in developed markets that

are not familiar with botanical drugs, it has established networks with local

clinical experts and is conducting clinical studies locally to demonstrate the

efficacy.

As a result of such efforts, DA-9801, a treatment for diabetic neuropathy

extracted from Dioscorea Rhizome and Dioscoreae Nipponicae Rhizoma has

successfully completed phase II clinical study in the U.S., and a U.S. phase

III clinical study is scheduled in 2017. Also, Motilitone®, which had been

release in domestic market, is under phase II clinical study in the U.S. as

well. The neurodegenerative disease drugs that are previously mentioned

are being developed and nonclinical studies are actively in progress in

the U.S., targeting for phase II clinical study in 2016 for the treatment of

Parkinson’s Disease and initial clinical study in early 2018 for Alzheimer’s

Disease.

Nagoya Protocol was first adopted in 2012 in Nagoya, Japan, and achieved

ratification in 50 countries in 2014, taking effect in Pyeongchang, Korea.

China has ratified it in June 2016, taking effect since September, bringing

the total number of ratification to the treaty to 78. So far, there is no report

of damage case arose from Nagoya Protocol by domestic corporations,

marking the threat appear to be far off. In fact, to have Nagoya Protocol

comes into effect, the law of country that is fulfilling it must be amended

and practices need to be made through application examples, but the

progression hasn’t gotten this far yet. However, what is important is that

whether the amendment of laws in countries including China and actual

case examples occur sooner or later, it will happen in not-too-distant future.

Discovery of outstanding domestic biological resources

Development of new global botanical drug using biological resource

Establishment of Corporate SOP against the activation of Nagoya Protocol

The main purpose of the Convention on Biological Diversity is to increase ‘sustainable use of components of biological diversity’, which makes it

different from other general natural preservation activities. Convention on Biological Diversity is an international effort to secure the possibility of

efficient and sustainable use of biological resources.

Convention on Biological Diversity and its annex protocol, Nagoya Protocol were expected to decrease the use of biological resources, on the

other hand, the activation of Nagoya Protocol would increase world wide interests in biological resources and accelerate database formation,

thus activate the use of biological resources in contrast. In other words, Nagoya Protocol is a crisis yet an opportunity for companies working on

biological resources.

Dong-A ST is working on the discovery of biological resources in Korea and R&D of new botanical medicine based on that, and is also making

efforts to combat the threats which arose from Nagoya Protocol.

Not only the economic interest depend on Nagoya Protocol, the legal

and administrative elements are important, and since the individual

company needs to proceed with negotiation against the government

in case of dispute, it is difficult for the company alone to counteract

effectively. In order to overcome such problem and prepare against

Nagoya Protocol taking effect, Dong-A ST has been continuing

to cooperate with the experts in academic circle and government

organizations. Through the joint research with judicial officials that

are well-acquainted with Nagoya Protocol, they have simulated the

predicted compliance procedures for Nagoya Protocol and established

countermeasures for possible scenarios.
