On March 5, the Korea Exchange evaluated 816 listed companies on the KOSPI market for disclosure accuracy, timeliness, adequacy, and efforts to communicate with investors. As a result, Hanwha and seven other companies were selected as this year's Excellent Disclosure Corporations and were awarded plaques. The Excellent Disclosure Corporation designation is given to companies that have established systematic disclosure management systems and have actively communicated with investors.


The selected companies will receive various incentives. Excellent Disclosure Corporations are granted a one-time, five-year exemption from being designated as an Unfaithful Disclosure Corporation, exemption from annual training requirements for disclosure officers, a one-year waiver of annual charges and additional or amended listing fees, and an opportunity for one disclosure officer to participate in an overseas training program.


Hanwha has prioritized the protection of shareholders and investors, ensuring accurate and prompt voluntary disclosures, English disclosures, fair disclosures, and guidance disclosures. In particular, Hanwha has actively released essential management information to investors through voluntary disclosures, even when such disclosures were not mandatory, thereby strengthening its communication with the market.


Hanwha continues its efforts to enhance shareholder value. The company has disclosed its value enhancement plans and presented strategies and key indicators for corporate value improvement to build market trust. In January of this year, Hanwha also held a meeting with individual shareholders to share its future corporate vision and plans to increase shareholder value.


Internally, Hanwha operates an independent disclosure department to enhance the professionalism of its disclosure work. The company also provides quality information to overseas investors through active English disclosures and regularly conducts disclosure training for relevant internal departments, thereby fostering a culture of disclosure within the organization.



Oh Yongkeun, Head of Planning at Hanwha's Construction Division, who attended the award ceremony, stated, "We will continue to actively communicate with shareholders and investors by providing voluntary and accurate investment information, and we will make ongoing efforts to enhance shareholder value."
