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 exceeding the average for its industry and small to medium-sized enterprises, thanks to 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 received 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 overall environmental, social, and governance performance of small and medium-sized enterprises, serving as a risk management indicator for suppliers working with larger firms and public entities.
In the environmental category, Haseong C&I was recognized for its efforts to reduce gasoline vehicles over the past three years and for its ongoing management of greenhouse gas emissions relative to 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 company received high marks for its human rights policies, improved working conditions, and information protection systems, earning an A+ rating. In governance, the strengths noted included 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 from the past three years and establishing a channel for reporting ethical management concerns. The company is currently preparing to publish its '2026 Sustainability Management Report,' which will compile its ESG management achievements.
As examples of ESG management among small and medium-sized IT firms are limited, Haseong C&I plans to further advance its ESG initiatives based on this consulting outcome, including the publication of its sustainability report, expansion of community programs, and improved supply chain risk management. Industry experts believe that this rating will serve as a valuable asset in future 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 forward as a 'sustainable partner' fulfilling our social responsibilities. We will continue to practice systematic ESG management to ensure trustworthy growth for our shareholders and society."
