Haseong C&I has received an overall 'A' rating in the ESG assessment conducted by IBK Industrial Bank. The company scored 76.7 points, significantly surpassing the average levels of its industry peers and small to medium-sized enterprises, reflecting its diligent practices and management systems across environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) areas. This result is particularly noteworthy as the importance of demonstrating ESG capabilities among suppliers working with large corporations and public institutions continues to grow.
According to the IT industry on June 17, Haseong C&I achieved an A rating in the environmental category, an A+ in the social category, and an A rating in governance. The ESG assessment by IBK evaluates the environmental, social, and governance practices of small and medium-sized enterprises, serving as a risk management indicator for suppliers working with larger companies and public institutions.
In the environmental category, Haseong C&I was recognized for its efforts to reduce gasoline vehicles over the past three years, promoting a transition to eco-friendly mobility while consistently managing greenhouse gas emissions relative to its revenue. The company has established a systematic approach to managing Scope 1 and 2 emissions through greenhouse gas inventory consulting, laying the groundwork for carbon neutrality.
In the social category, the establishment and adherence to human rights policies, improvements in working conditions, and robust information protection systems were highlighted as strengths, earning an A+ rating. The governance category was praised for the internalization of ethical management policies and a transparent decision-making process.
To enhance management transparency, Haseong C&I recently revamped its official website, disclosing financial information for the past three years and establishing a channel for reporting ethical management issues. The company is currently preparing to publish its '2026 Sustainability Management Report,' which will compile its ESG management achievements.
With few examples of ESG management among small and medium-sized IT companies, Haseong C&I plans to further advance its ESG practices based on the consulting results, including the publication of a sustainability management report, expansion of community programs, and improved supply chain risk management. Industry experts believe that this rating will serve as a valuable asset in the selection and contract renewal processes with large corporations and public institutions.
Yoon Cheol-han, CEO of Haseong C&I, stated, "The results of this assessment indicate that we have taken a significant step as a 'sustainable partner' fulfilling our social responsibilities. We will continue to practice systematic ESG management to ensure reliable growth for our shareholders and society."
