HanmiGlobal Receives 'A Grade' in ESG Evaluation by Korea Corporate Governance Service

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] HanmiGlobal, a PM (Project Management) specialized company, announced on the 1st that it received an A grade in the '2021 Listed Companies ESG Evaluation' announced by the Korea Corporate Governance Service.

The Korea Corporate Governance Service has been evaluating the environmental, social, and governance levels of domestic listed companies every year since 2011, assigning ESG grades based on a model that reflects international standards such as the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and ISO26000 (social responsibility), as well as domestic legislation and corporate environment. This year, the evaluation was conducted on 950 listed companies. HanmiGlobal received an A grade in all areas of environment, social, and governance, achieving an overall A grade.

Since its founding in 1996, HanmiGlobal has consistently continued ESG activities company-wide. In particular, this year, it established an ESG committee within the board of directors and created an internal ESG working group, thereby organizing its ESG management system.

Recently, to strengthen environmental management, it is expanding eco-friendly PM through pre-construction. It provides energy and eco-friendly building consulting throughout the entire process of construction project planning, design, construction, and operation. It also operates construction project management services specialized in zero-energy and energy-saving buildings.

To enhance the independence of the board and management transparency, it is also implementing board-centered responsible management. It separates the CEO and the chairman of the board (outside director) and established a governance charter this year, making efforts to establish sound governance.

A HanmiGlobal official said, "We are pleased to have our company-wide ESG management efforts recognized," and added, "We will establish ourselves as a model ESG company presenting the highest global standards of environmental and social value."
