[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Hana Tour announced on the 16th that it has established the first ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Committee within its board of directors in the travel industry.

Hana Tour held a board meeting on the 7th and resolved to establish the ESG Committee and the Outside Director Candidate Recommendation Committee.

The ESG Committee is composed of three members, including CEO Song Miseon and two outside directors, to establish and review ESG management policies. Additionally, two outside directors were appointed to ensure independence.

Through the ESG Committee, Hana Tour plans to promote environmental management, social responsibility, and maximization of shareholder value to enhance corporate value.

Since introducing ESG management in August last year, Hana Tour has actively engaged in ESG management activities such as launching eco-friendly and sustainable travel products, launching the Daum Stay project to revitalize vacant houses in Jeju Island, signing an MOU with the International Electric Vehicle Expo, and participating in Jeju Island's Earth Day events.

A Hana Tour official stated, "We are strengthening systems and institutions for advancing ESG management, including the establishment of the ESG Committee and a dedicated department," and added, "We will continuously seek development plans for co-growth with various stakeholders."
