Hanssem announced on July 1 that it has published the "2025 Sustainability Management Report," which outlines its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management achievements and future vision.

Through a double materiality assessment, Hanssem identified eight key issues to include in the report: climate change mitigation, responsible sourcing, sustainable product design, workplace conditions, human rights management, co-prosperity with partners, product safety and quality, and fair trade. The report is organized into five chapters and also features ESG storytelling content such as employee interviews and caricatures.

In terms of governance, Hanssem implemented an executive officer system and a structure in which the dividend amount is determined before the record date is set, raising its compliance rate with core indicators in the governance report to 60%, a 7 percentage point increase from the previous year. To address climate change, the ESG Committee established in 2021 is leading initiatives to reduce environmental impact throughout the entire product life cycle.

In the social sector, Hanssem strengthened the sustainability of its supply chain and workplaces by introducing ESG assessments for partners, human rights due diligence, and human rights impact assessments. Community engagement activities have also been carried out, with the cumulative number of housing improvement projects for vulnerable groups reaching 948 units as of the end of last year. Eco-friendly social contribution activities are also being expanded.

A Hanssem representative stated, "This report proactively adopts global standards and enhances authenticity by including the real voices of practitioners," adding, "We will continue to practice transparent and sustainable management that meets the expectations of customers, investors, and society as a whole."
