In addition, it was named to the Yearbook 2026 Top 10%, a roster of the highest-scoring companies in the assessment.

The company is actively promoting its management strategy, which focuses on sustainability by accelerating the transition to renewable energy and developing eco-friendly technologies, to both domestic and overseas investors.

The company stated, "This achievement is the result of company-wide efforts to implement sustainable management, including addressing climate change, ensuring safety management, and establishing transparent governance."
