The company obtained the mark after passing the evaluation by UL Solutions, a global company that provides certification services related to safety and security.

Hyundai Card commissioned UL Solutions to assess the indoor environmental quality of its brand spaces in Itaewon and Sinsa-dong, as well as its headquarters building in Yeouido, Seoul. UL Solutions awarded Tier 3 to the Sinsa-dong space and Tier 2 to the Itaewon space. This is the first time in Korea that a facility has received the Tier 3 UL VHB mark.

The UL VHB assessment is divided into Tier 1, 2, and 3. Tier 1 verifies indoor air quality. Tier 2 verifies both indoor air and water quality. Tier 3 is the highest level, requiring compliance with 22 criteria, including air quality, water quality, sanitation, lighting, and noise.

In Korea, Grand Hyatt Seoul received Tier 1 last year. In Asia, Nanshan Life Insurance in Taipei, Taiwan, became the first company in Taiwan to receive the same Tier 3 mark as Hyundai Card last year.

Hyundai Card plans to use the acquisition of the mark as an opportunity to establish guidelines that meet international standards and to maintain the highest level of indoor environmental quality in Korea. The company will undergo regular inspections and evaluations to renew the UL VHB mark.

A Hyundai Card representative said, "With the acquisition of the UL VHB mark, we have established operating guidelines that exceed international indoor environmental standards to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for both members and employees using Hyundai Card's brand spaces."
