APR Strengthens ESG Management with Release of First Sustainability Report

APR announced on June 5 that it has published its 2025 Sustainability Management Report and is establishing an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management system.

According to APR, the report includes key business and financial performance data from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year, along with strategies for promoting sustainable management across environmental, social, and governance areas.

The report identifies key ESG issues based on a materiality assessment, which analyzes the impact of corporate activities on the environment and society, as well as how external environmental changes affect the company's finances.

The report was prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards 2021), a standard for international sustainability reporting. It also incorporates global disclosure indicators such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

In the environmental and social sections, the report introduces the environmental management system, health and safety management, ESG management in the supply chain, and social contribution activities. APR also shared examples of operating standard workplaces for people with disabilities and community donation activities to support vulnerable groups.

In the governance section, the report details the strengthening of compliance and ethical management systems. APR is enhancing its related systems centered around an independent compliance organization. Last March, it obtained ISO 37001 certification, an international standard for anti-bribery management systems. The company also completed anti-corruption training and related signature procedures for all employees.

An APR representative stated, "We will strengthen trust with stakeholders based on responsible management activities and transparent information disclosure."

Meanwhile, APR reported a consolidated revenue of 593.4 billion won and an operating profit of 152.3 billion won for the first quarter of this year, marking increases of 123.0% and 173.7%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.
