[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hankook Tire & Technology recently announced on the 30th that it has been selected for the 'Carbon Management Sector Honors' by the global sustainability management evaluation organization 'Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)'.

CDP conducts evaluations related to global environmental issues such as climate change and water resources for major listed companies in various countries on behalf of global financial investment institutions, and classifies them into eight grades including Leadership A, Leadership A-, Management B, and Management B-. Hankook Tire received the Leadership (A-) grade, which was awarded to only 24 domestic companies.

Hankook Tire previously won the 'Carbon Management Sector Honors' for two consecutive years starting in 2017. In 2014 and 2015, it was selected as a 'Carbon Management Sector Winner'.

Hankook Tire has set clear ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, including achieving 100% sustainable raw material usage by 2050 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to 2018 levels.

In particular, the company continues eco-friendly research and development (R&D) efforts to minimize tire rolling resistance during vehicle operation, thereby improving fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, not only in the tire manufacturing process but also in vehicle driving.

A Hankook Tire official stated, "We will continue to transparently disclose climate change response information externally every year and lead eco-friendly product R&D, investing continuously in environmental fields for sustainable growth and environmental protection."
