Hanssem "Internalizing ESG... Strengthening Carbon Emission Management and Management Transparency"

Publication of 'Sustainable Management Report'... Second Edition Following Last Year
Establishment of Energy Management System... Enactment of Human Rights and Labor Management Declaration
Strengthening of Internal Audit Organization Oversight and Control... Establishment of Six Subcommittees

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Hanssem, a comprehensive home interior specialist company, published the "2021 Hanssem Sustainability Management Report" on the 29th, detailing the status and achievements of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) management last year.

This report reflects the current status and achievements of sustainability management, focusing on the internalization of ESG at Hanssem, the establishment of its foundation, and implementation tasks. Since the first report was published last year, the company has been setting ESG management strategies and directions, promoting step-by-step tasks, and executing management plans through ESG internalization.

Key issues include ▲organizing ESG management governance ▲responding to climate change through the establishment of an energy management system ▲enacting the Human Rights and Labor Management Declaration ▲establishing an ESG weekly meeting.

In the environmental sector, a company-wide energy management system capable of measuring and managing carbon emissions was established. Although not subject to the greenhouse gas emissions trading system, Hanssem plans to monitor energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions to establish effective carbon emission management and climate change response strategies.

In the social sector, governance such as internal meetings and dedicated departments for ESG internalization was established, and the "Hanssem Human Rights and Labor Management Declaration," encompassing various stakeholders, was enacted to reinforce a strong commitment to sustainable management.

Earlier this year, Hanssem strengthened monitoring and control by the internal audit body and enhanced management transparency by establishing six subcommittees within the board of directors, including the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Outside Director Candidate Recommendation Committee, Investment Review Committee, and ESG Committee, expanding the role of the highest decision-making body and reinforcing transparent management.

Accordingly, financial and non-financial risk management was strengthened, and a decision-making system capable of periodic reporting and reviewing and supplementing the progress of sustainability management strategies was established. Hanssem declared its intention to further solidify sustainability management by participating in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), an international initiative, and reflecting detailed activities and tasks.

A Hanssem official stated, "This report faithfully covers Hanssem's ESG management status and achievements from 2020 to the first half of 2021," adding, "We will establish a sustainable management system and promote ESG management by communicating with stakeholders about the company's social responsibilities."

Meanwhile, Hanssem's sustainability management report was produced as a 'paperless' file to embody its eco-friendly management commitment and was made available through the Company Hanssem.com website.
