Sustinvest "2025 First Half ESG Evaluation"
HanmiGlobal, the leading construction project management (PM) company in Korea, announced on June 27 that it ranked first in the capital goods sector (including machinery, equipment, and construction industries) in the ESG evaluation for the first half of this year. The company has maintained the highest ESG rating of 'AA' for eight consecutive years. HanmiGlobal is the only company in the PM industry to be included among the top 100 ESG-performing companies.
This evaluation was conducted by Sustinvest, a domestic ESG evaluation agency. A total of 1,295 listed and unlisted companies were assessed. The evaluation examines the environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) sectors separately and assigns a total of seven rating levels. HanmiGlobal received the highest rating with a score of 99.25.
Over the past decade, HanmiGlobal has managed renewable energy projects with a cumulative capacity of 4.6GW. The company oversees every stage directly, from planning and design to construction and operation. Through its subsidiary Ecosian, it also provides energy management systems and environmental consulting services. HanmiGlobal is investing in the development of eco-friendly construction technologies as well.
The company also received excellent evaluations in the social sector, achieving a perfect score of 100 points for three consecutive years. Employees donate 1% of their monthly salary, and the company matches this with twice the donated amount. Since 1996, HanmiGlobal has designated the fourth Saturday of every month as Social Contribution Day, actively encouraging employees to participate in volunteer activities. In 2010, the company established the social welfare foundation 'Ttatteuthandonghaeng' to support space welfare for people with disabilities, advanced assistive devices, job creation, and North Korean defectors.
HanmiGlobal has separated the roles of CEO and board chair, appointing an outside director as chair. In 2021, the company established an ESG Committee, which directly reviews ESG strategies and their implementation.
The company recently published its '2024 Sustainability Report,' which is available for public viewing on its website.
