This year's report presents the direction and vision of Yuhan-Kimberly as it embarks on a new half-century and moves toward becoming a 100-year company. It covers efforts to practice ESG management and respond to climate change.

Since 2006, Yuhan-Kimberly has transparently disclosed through its sustainability reports the economic, social, and environmental impacts and values it creates, the challenges it faces, and the efforts it makes to meet stakeholder expectations.

This report is characterized by addressing ▲ the direction and vision of Yuhan-Kimberly moving toward a 100-year company ▲ efforts to practice ESG management ▲ efforts to respond to climate change (verification of greenhouse gas emissions and energy use).

In particular, as stakeholder interest in ESG management efforts grows daily, the report categorizes these efforts into social, environmental, and governance aspects, clearly presenting core policies, programs, and achievements. Through a special feature, it also includes efforts to contribute socially and environmentally through products referred to as 'Good Brands,' reflecting societal interest in value consumption.

Earlier this year, Yuhan-Kimberly presented a new vision, "We act for life-health-earth environment," and disclosed its commitment to strengthening growth, transformation, and responsibility across its business operations.
