Among the 2,540 companies evaluated worldwide, 323 companies, accounting for 12.7%, were selected for the DJSI World index, with only 17 domestic companies making the list.

Coway explained that it received excellent evaluations in areas such as customer relationship management, product quality management, environmental policies and systems, and environmental and social reporting. Based on innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, Coway provides products and services that meet customer needs, and has established an industry-leading product reliability verification system to strengthen quality competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Additionally, Coway has declared a mid-to-long-term goal to achieve 100% renewable energy conversion and carbon neutrality by 2050, and has established a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 50% by 2030, proactively responding to climate change.
