Noroo Paint Achieves "Integrated A Grade" for Second Consecutive Year in KCGS ESG Evaluation

Noroo Paint announced on December 1 that it is the only company in the paint industry to have received an "Integrated A Grade" for two consecutive years in the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) evaluation and rating disclosure released by the Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability (KCGS).

Across the industry, key challenges include the development of low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, the expansion of bio- and recycled-based materials, greenhouse gas reduction at each stage of the manufacturing process, community-centered social contribution activities, and the establishment of transparent governance. Beyond simply making products more eco-friendly, the extent to which a company systematically strengthens its ESG framework throughout its operations is now a major factor in competitiveness.
