Hansol Holdings, the holding company of Hansol Group, announced on June 22 that it has published the "2026 Hansol Group Sustainability Management Report," which outlines the group's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) status and carbon neutrality roadmaps for its subsidiaries.
The report evaluates the ESG status and key performance indicators of major subsidiaries based on international disclosure standards set by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), incorporating both quantitative and qualitative metrics.
It specifically analyzes the climate change threats faced by seven subsidiaries and ten domestic business sites from short-, medium-, and long-term perspectives, using international climate change scenarios such as the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) and the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS).
The SSP represents future climate change prediction scenarios presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its 2023 Sixth Assessment Report. The NGFS is a global network of central banks and financial regulators aimed at assessing the risks climate change poses to financial stability and supporting sustainable economic transitions.
According to the report, Hansol Group manages its overall safety management level based on its own safety and health evaluation system, the Hansol Safety and Health Rating System (HSRS). Starting this year, it plans to enhance its safety management capabilities by introducing an "Evaluation of Hansol Safety and Health Activities" that reflects strengthened laws and regulations.
The report also discloses the status of its shareholder return policy aimed at enhancing shareholder value. Last year, Hansol Holdings announced a shareholder return policy for 2025-2027, committing to utilize 30-40% of its free cash flow for shareholder returns by 2027.
A Hansol Group official stated, "We publish our sustainability management report annually to transparently disclose our ESG strategies and achievements to various stakeholders. We will continue to strengthen our ESG management through the identification and execution of tasks for sustainable growth."
