Each year, the UNGC Korea Association selects ten companies from among its members as Lead Companies, recognizing those that demonstrate leadership in sustainable management and actively participate in UNGC initiatives.

Acuon Capital has been recognized for its active participation in UNGC activities and its efforts to spread a culture of sustainable management since joining in 2021.

This year, the company strengthened its sustainable management capabilities by participating in a variety of programs organized by the UNGC Korea Association.

As a mentor company in the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Mentoring Program, Acuon Capital shared its sustainable management expertise with four mentee companies.

It was the only capital company to take part in the compilation of the 'Sustainable Finance Trends and Corporate Casebook,' where it shared examples of sustainable bond issuance and investment.

The company further enhanced its expertise in sustainable management by submitting the 2025 Communication on Progress (CoP) report, participating in the pilot program for the UNGC Sustainability AI Assessment, engaging in the Business and Human Rights Accelerator, and taking part in UNGC and ESG working group networking activities.

Hyuksu Lee, Head of Business Strategy at Acuon Capital, stated, "Being selected as a UNGC Lead Company for the second consecutive year-the first in the industry-is the result of our ongoing efforts in sustainable management. We will continue to uphold the ten principles of the UNGC, contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and fulfill our social responsibilities as a financial institution."
