Hankook publishes its 12th Annual 2020/21 ESG Report and launches new ESG committee in the company
The new #hankook ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) Report reflects the sustainability management efforts and achievements of the company in relation to eight key ESG factors. The 2020/21 edition is its 12th issue with the first ESG report published in 2010. In addition, an ESG committee was established to further strengthen the sustainability management.
Seoul, Korea / Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 8th September 2021 – The new #hankook ESG Report 2020/21 includes the company’s sustainable management activities and achievements in relation to responsible governance, integrated environmental management, climate change response, community involvement and development, transparency and business ethics, employee value creation, employee safety and health management, and win-win partnership in the supply chain. Further focus is on the goals until 2030 and the strategies of the recently launched ESG committee within the board of directors. The committee will be responsible for consulting, deliberating, and recommending regarding environmental, social and governance businesses.
Hankook further accelerated its ESG management among other things by conducting sustainable natural rubber policies and E-Circle declarations in 2018. Through eight subcommittees in each field of expertise, the company has been constantly sharing its vision of sustainability with executives and employees and further improving its ESG management. By setting challenging goals and collaborating with stakeholders, the company is carrying out a variety of activities to make a positive impact on the society.
Starting with its first inclusion on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices in 2011, the company has been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World already for five consecutive years from 2016. In specific, the company is highly recognised for its excellence in social contribution and supply chain management. In addition, the company also obtained leadership ratings from CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) in recognition of its achievements in environmental protection, in climate change response and was awarded Carbon Management Sector Honors at CDP Climate Change Korea Awards.
Hankook is also setting clear goals such as achieving 100 percent of sustainable raw material use by 2050 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent compared to 2018. The company is also participating in various initiatives for #corporate sustainability practices such as UNGC (United Nations Global Compact) and is promoting eco-friendly policies such as sustainable natural rubber policies.
The 2020/21 ESG report is published online to also contribute to environmental protection. Details of Hankook’s 2020/21 ESG Report can be found on www.hankooktire-mediacenter.com (ESG Report).
