Seung-yeon Kim, Chairman of Hanwha, "Must Become a Great Challenger Through Continuous Challenge and Innovation"

Seung-yeon Kim, Chairman of Hanwha Group, emphasized, "To achieve goals on a different level, we must become Great Challengers who constantly challenge ourselves and innovate."

In his New Year's address on the 2nd, Chairman Kim stated, "To move beyond mere survival and become a global champion, Hanwha needs a unique and innovative direction unlike before."

He proposed, "As Great Challengers, let us go beyond existing frameworks in all of Hanwha's businesses, cultivating outstanding differentiation and a sense of ownership."

He continued, "Our existing core businesses are the firm pillars supporting the group, but this environment can easily lead to long-standing practices and complacency. It is essential to challenge the familiar and overturn the obvious, creating differentiation from the details of the business and continuously producing ahead-of-the-curve results."

Furthermore, Chairman Kim said, "Since new businesses leading the group's future involve great uncertainty, everyone must take ownership and engage deeply in their promotion. There are no shortcuts, and the goals are not near, but if we act promptly with a strong sense of responsibility from a long-term perspective, meaningful outcomes will surely follow."

Chairman Kim emphasized, "Seizing future opportunities begins with facing reality. Self-satisfaction is the greatest obstacle on our great journey. We must critically examine whether past achievements across our businesses were supported by market changes. We need to create Hanwha's own innovation capable of overcoming fierce market waves even in unfavorable environments."

He added, "Like the saying, 'If the wind does not blow, row the oars,' Hanwha's Great Challengers will move forward into the future again through relentless challenges and innovation."
