The report reflects SP Samhwa's commitment to advancing its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management as it seeks to evolve from a traditional paint manufacturer to a global comprehensive chemical company.
To ensure the integrity of its disclosures and external credibility, the report meets the international sustainability reporting standards of the "GRI Standards 2021" and has been verified by the independent global verification body, BSI Group.
In the environmental sector, SP Samhwa has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 12% in 2025 compared to 2023 through the establishment of smart eco-factories and the transition to high-efficiency equipment.
In the social sector, the company is engaged in community support activities, including the "Climate Crisis Safe Village" project aimed at improving living conditions for vulnerable populations and the production of special books for visually impaired children.
In governance, SP Samhwa conducts ethics management training for employees and has developed a compliance manual to proactively prevent fair trade risks.
Last month, SP Samhwa signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment and the Korea Environmental Industry and Technology Institute to improve indoor environments for vulnerable groups, pledging to support high-quality premium water-based paint products like "iLux."
A company representative stated, "As we celebrate our 80th anniversary, it is meaningful to publish our first sustainability management report at this critical juncture in our transition to a global comprehensive chemical company. We will continue to minimize our environmental impact and position ourselves as a century-old company that grows alongside our stakeholders."
