JYP Ranked No.1 Worldwide in TIME's '2026 Best Sustainable Growth Companies'

No.1 in Korea for Two Consecutive Years, Now Ranked No.1 Globally
TIME: "Outstanding Performance Across All Evaluation Categories"

Jinyoung Park, Chief Creative Officer (CCO) and Chief Producer (Co-Chairman of the Pop Culture Exchange Committee), leads JYP Entertainment, which has been ranked No.1 in South Korea and No.1 worldwide for the second consecutive year in TIME magazine's selection of the '2026 World's Best Sustainable Growth Companies.' On November 12 (local time), TIME magazine and German market analysis firm Statista announced the 'World's Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2026.'

JYP received high marks in all indicators, including growth rate, financial stability, and environmental impact, achieving a score of 97.59. This placed JYP at the top among South Korean companies and No.1 out of 500 companies globally. Last year, JYP also secured the No.1 spot in South Korea and ranked third globally in TIME's '2025 World's Best Sustainable Growth Companies' with a score of 93.66. By rising to the top global position after being No.1 domestically for two consecutive years, JYP has solidified its reputation as a leading company in sustainable management.

Statista commented, "The most evident point is that 'JYP excels in every evaluation category.' As with last year, JYP achieved an outstanding score and the highest ranking," adding, "While many companies perform well in one area but fall short in others, JYP is one of the few companies that demonstrates excellence in both financial and environmental performance."

This ranking selects 500 companies worldwide that demonstrate outstanding performance in sustainable development while maintaining strong financial soundness. TIME and Statista determined the final rankings by equally weighting corporate revenue growth, financial stability, and environmental impact, with a maximum score of 100 points. In 2022, JYP became the first entertainment company in South Korea to publish a sustainability management report, detailing its ESG initiatives and activities, including the implementation of RE100, which replaced 100% of its electricity use with renewable energy. In June this year, JYP released its fourth sustainability management report.

JYP CEO Jung Wook stated in the report, "Under the ESG vision of 'Leader of Change,' we will internalize the values of sustainability and diversity, actively respond to climate change, and contribute to creating a healthy global environment. Together with all stakeholders who support JYP, we will move forward as a 'leader driving positive change in the world.'"

At the end of last year, JYP was the only entertainment company in South Korea to receive the highest 'AA' rating in the 2024 ESG management evaluation by Sustinvest, proving its excellence in ESG management. In addition, JYP has consistently carried out various CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities under the slogan 'EDM (Every Dream Matters!),' aiming to give back the love received from fans and the public both domestically and abroad. Social contribution projects such as the 'EDM Medical Expense Support Project' for children with illnesses and 'LOVE EARTH,' which aims to create healthy soil for future generations, are also ongoing.
