Reporter Lim Hye-seon of Asia Economy] Pulmuone has been selected as the 'Most Admired Company in Korea' for 15 consecutive years.

On the 26th, Pulmuone announced that it had been selected for 15 consecutive years as one of the top 30 All Star companies in the '18th Most Admired Companies in Korea 2021' organized by the Korea Management Association Consulting (KMAC).

Starting with being selected as one of the top 30 All Star companies in 2004 and 2005, Pulmuone has been honored for 15 consecutive years from 2007 to this year. The cumulative number of awards has reached 17 times, the highest among comprehensive food companies.

The survey results were compiled from a questionnaire conducted by KMAC, the organizer, targeting a total of 12,982 people including 9,127 industry executives, 255 securities analysts, and 3,600 general consumers over about four months from September last year to January this year.

KMAC selected and announced the top 30 companies as 'All Stars' through surveys on 'recommendation rate,' which is the degree to which the 150 All Star candidate companies are recommended as the most admired companies in Korea, 'element quality,' which evaluates six core value areas including innovation capability, shareholder value, employee value, customer value, social value, and image value, and 'overall evaluation,' which measures respondents' level of admiration for companies compared within the industry.

Pulmuone scored 439.46 points (out of 1000) in the evaluation of the top 30 All Star companies this year, making the list of the top 30 All Star companies for 15 consecutive years. This is the highest score among comprehensive food companies selected as top 30 All Stars.

Pulmuone has maintained a top 10 ranking in the 'recommendation rate' section, which accounts for a major portion of the All Star index calculation, for the past six years. In the 'element quality' evaluation, it scored 7.20 points (out of 10) in the 'social value' section, which shows that it is a company practicing social responsibility management and environmentally friendly management.

Pulmuone inherits the spirit of 'love for neighbors and respect for life' of the late Won Kyung-sun, founder of Pulmuone Farm, and has set its mission as a LOHAS (Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability) company that loves people and nature together. It is striving to develop products and services that contribute to improving consumer health, creating social value, and the sustainability of the global environment.
