Acuon Capital Releases 2025 Sustainability Management Report, Revealing ESG Achievements

Acuon Capital announced the release of its "2025 Sustainability Management Report" on June 29, detailing its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management achievements and key initiatives from the previous year. This marks the fifth report since the company became the first in the capital industry to publish a sustainability management report in 2022.

The report highlights core ESG issues and achievements derived from a "double materiality assessment," which considers stakeholder opinions alongside the company's environmental and social impacts and financial implications.

In the environmental sector, Acuon Capital focused on strengthening its climate response framework. The company established new "Environmental and Social Risk Management Guidelines" to incorporate ESG factors into its lending and investment review processes. Additionally, it issued a total of 440 billion won in sustainable bonds to support eco-friendly transportation and renewable energy projects by last year.

In the social sector, Acuon Capital expanded its efforts to improve working conditions and contribute to local communities. The company implemented a PC-OFF system, flexible working hours, and concentrated vacation policies, earning recognition as an "Outstanding Company for Work-Life Balance in South Korea 2025."

In governance, the company enhanced its information protection committee's functions and its incident response system. A comprehensive response process was established to assess linked systems during incidents, detailing procedures from incident recognition to analysis, response, and reporting.

Based on these achievements, Acuon Capital received the highest rating of AA from Sustainbest, a domestic ESG evaluation agency, for two consecutive years. The company was also selected for the UN Global Compact (UNGC) Korea Association's leadership group for two years running.

Acuon Capital CEO Lee Jung-moo stated, "Sustainable management must be continuously reflected in corporate strategy and operations. We will continue to create meaningful outcomes as a responsible financial institution across all areas of environment, society, and governance."
