Coway New Headquarters.

Coway announced on the 18th that it has been selected for the ‘2023 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI)’ Asia Pacific index for the 11th consecutive year. Coway is the only domestic company selected for the Asia Pacific index in the durable goods sector.

Since its first evaluation in 1999, DJSI has marked its 25th year this year and is recognized globally for its credibility in sustainability assessment and investment. It comprehensively evaluates not only corporate financial performance but also environmental, social, and governance aspects, serving as a benchmark for comparing sustainability management levels and responsible investment standards.

This year, Coway demonstrated world-class sustainability competitiveness by being included in the DJSI Asia Pacific index for 11 consecutive years and the Korea index for 6 consecutive years. Among the 609 companies evaluated worldwide, 156 companies, or 25.6%, were selected for the DJSI Asia Pacific index. Only 36 domestic companies made the list.

Coway received excellent evaluations in areas such as customer relationship management, product quality management, water resource management, and waste resource circulation activities. Through product and service innovation, Coway provides customized care throughout customers’ lives. To realize resource circulation, the company considers environmental impacts throughout the entire process from product development, production, sales, post-use collection, to recycling.

Coway stated, “Being selected for the DJSI Asia Pacific index for 11 consecutive years once again proves that we are a global leader in sustainable management. We will continue to secure industry-leading sustainability management competitiveness and strive to be a trusted company for various stakeholders.”

Meanwhile, last month Coway received an A grade in the integrated ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) evaluation from the Korea ESG Standards Institute. In July last year, it also received an AA grade for two consecutive years in the 2022 MSCI ESG evaluation, a global ESG assessment indicator.
