NH Investment & Securities Publishes '2024 Sustainable Integrated Report'

NH Investment & Securities announced on the 31st that it has published the '2024 Sustainable Integrated Report,' which contains last year's financial performance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities.

NH Investment & Securities has been regularly publishing sustainability management reports since 2018, and since 2021, it has been issuing an integrated sustainability report (Integrated Report) that combines the annual report and the sustainability management report. Through the 2024 Sustainable Integrated Report, NH Investment & Securities adopted global disclosure standards such as the European Union (EU) Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards. By applying the EU ESRS, it enhanced the double materiality assessment methodology by deriving impact materiality and financial materiality through expert IRO (Impact·Risk·Opportunity) analysis, and focused its reporting according to the four major disclosure areas: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics. Additionally, as global disclosure standards require the scope of sustainability-related disclosures to align with the financial statement reporting scope on a consolidated basis, ESG performance data of major subsidiaries were included in the reporting scope on a trial basis.

NH Investment & Securities also emphasized the implementation of ESG management by including interviews with employees from ESG-related departments such as the Carbon Finance Department and the Financial Consumer Protection Department in this Sustainable Integrated Report. Yoon Byung-woon, CEO of NH Investment & Securities, stated, "As part of the NongHyup Group, we will proactively respond to ESG social responsibility demands," and added, "We will continue to prioritize customer value as the foundation of our organizational culture and achieve meaningful management performance along with the status of a leading financial investment firm in the capital market." At the NongHyup group level, NH Investment & Securities supports agricultural and food industry startup incubation programs and entrepreneurship education to foster the future agricultural ecosystem, and has established an Ag-tech investment fund to discover agricultural technology startups such as AI-based agricultural product sorters and autonomous agricultural machinery.

The NH Investment & Securities 2024 Sustainable Integrated Report can be viewed on the official NH Investment & Securities website and the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system.
