The Sustainability Yearbook is published annually by S&P Global, one of the world’s leading providers of benchmarks for global capital, based on its Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). Established in 1999, this in-depth evaluation comprehensively appraises how companies are performing financially and across their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices.
This year, more than 9,200 companies across 59 industries were assessed by S&P Global, with only 848 companies subsequently selected to be a part of the Sustainability Yearbook. Coway has been recognized in the Yearbook for the second year running, ranking in the top 15% of companies in the Household Durables industry.
Furthermore, for the thirteenth consecutive year, Coway was included in the DJ BIC Asia Pacific Index among a selection of the top 20% of around 600 companies in the region. Notably, the company received improved evaluations across several ESG categories this year, including energy and waste management, biodiversity conservation, occupational health and safety and data protection.
Since establishing its ESG Committee in 2021, Coway has continually been advancing its ESG management strategy and practices. This commitment has seen Coway implement a company-wide framework based on three key pillars: establishing a carbon-neutral management system, promoting sustainable growth and strengthening transparent and sustainable governance.
Examples of Coway’s ESG initiatives include:
- Environmental: Advancing a circular economy through its “closed-loop” resource circulation system, all while supporting environmental protection through sustainability initiatives.
- Social: Fostering mutual growth through partner support programs and collaborative initiatives.
- Governance: Enhancing shareholder return policies while reinforcing the independence and transparency of the company’s corporate governance.
A Coway official said, “Through the ongoing, globally-benchmarked management strategies and initiatives of our ESG Committee, Coway remains committed to achieving both sustainable growth and responsible social change.
