CDP, formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, is a global nonprofit that collects and evaluates disclosures from major companies and cities on climate strategies, greenhouse gas reduction efforts, and water and forest-related information. Its assessments are widely used by ESG investors, financial institutions and global supply-chain companies in decision-making.
Kolon Industries previously received an A, the top grade, in the “2025 CDP Climate Change” assessment announced in February. The company has submitted climate-change performance data since 2017, and in the latest assessment it moved up two levels to A from B.
The company cited factors behind the upgrade including approval of its SBTi net-zero target, adoption of an internal carbon price, climate scenario analysis based on physical and transition risks, and expanded third-party verification of Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions. It also submitted its first response to the water module last year and received an A- grade, and said it plans to strengthen its water management system in stages in line with its climate strategy.
“This award recognizes that our carbon management strategy has taken root as a performance-driven execution system,” a Kolon Industries official said. The official said the company will boost emissions-reduction execution by expanding renewable energy adoption based on its net-zero roadmap, while strengthening sustainability management across its supply chain to build stakeholder trust.
