for partners

OLIVE YOUNG works with promising small and medium-sized brands at every stage of growth, from discovery to online and offline sales channels to global expansion.
We build foundations for self-reliance through the Mutual Growth Fund, incubation, and IP protection, and widen the stage where brands meet customers through trend curation, the Awards, and Festa, driving shared growth across the K-beauty ecosystem.

OLIVE YOUNG Partner Code of Conduct

As a company committed to creating a healthier and more beautiful world together with its customers, partners, and local communities, Olive Young considers building a sustainable business ecosystem an important responsibility.
As part of these efforts, OLIVE YOUNG established the "Partner Code of Conduct" to promote shared growth with its partners and to strengthen mutual trust.

OLIVE YOUNG hopes that the Partner Code of Conduct will serve as a shared framework for its partnerships, support each company's voluntary practice, and contribute to strengthening the sustainability of the health and beauty industry as a whole.
Going forward, OLIVE YOUNG will continue to create a fair and responsible business environment together with its partners, and achieve continued growth and development grounded in mutual trust and cooperation.

The Five Core Areas of the OLIVE YOUNG Partner Code of Conduct
  • Ethical Management Building on fair and responsible business practices,
    partners must practice anti-corruption, conflict-of-interest
    management, fair trade, personal data protection,
    shared growth, and social responsibility.
  • Quality Management Through safe and reliable products and services,
    partners must contribute to promoting health and beauty across society.
  • Environmental Management Partners must comply with domestic and international environmental laws,
    use resources efficiently, and help reduce environmental impact,
    as part of their efforts to build a sustainable ecosystem.
  • Human Rights Management In compliance with international human rights principles and domestic and international labor laws,
    partners must prohibit child labor, forced labor, and discrimination,
    while respecting the rights of workers.
  • Safety and Health Management Partners must comply with domestic and international safety and health regulations,
    and establish and implement a structured management system
    to protect the health and safety of both workers and consumers.

OLIVE YOUNG reads customer demand before the market has defined it, creates new categories, and provides a stage for small and medium-sized brands to grow within them. Rather than simply introducing individual trends, we pioneer the market itself and turn it into growth opportunities for our partners.

New Market Development and Curation

  • Demand Discovery

    We capture demand that has yet to form a category from hundreds of millions of purchase records and customer responses each year.

  • Category Definition

    We define categories through our own standards and curation planning, and build assortments so customers can shop by purpose.

  • A Stage for Growth

    We discover and nurture small and medium-sized brands in each field, growing together as leading players in new markets.
