Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation (GH) received an A grade in its ESG management assessment on December 22.
To ensure external credibility and objectivity in its ESG management, GH became the first metropolitan urban development corporation to officially request an evaluation from Sustinvest, a leading domestic ESG rating agency, and underwent this assessment.
Sustinvest, the first ESG rating agency in Korea, assesses the level of ESG management for over 1,200 companies-including listed firms-and both market-type and quasi-market-type public institutions.
The A grade awarded to GH this time is an excellent rating, given to organizations that systematically manage sustainability issues across all areas of environment, society, and governance, and demonstrate a high level of transparency and accountability, based on a strong commitment to ESG management.
Through this assessment, GH is recognized not only for fulfilling its social responsibilities as a public institution but also for establishing a sustainable management model that can be trusted by residents and stakeholders.
Previously, GH received the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Award in the ESG Management category at the '2025 National Contribution Awards.' In addition, GH analyzed that its 2024 ESG management performance generated value equivalent to approximately 1.7 trillion won.
Kim Yongjin, President of GH, stated, "Achieving an A grade in this ESG evaluation is a valuable accomplishment made possible by the efforts of all executives and employees. Moving forward, we will continue to grow as a sustainable public institution that enhances the quality of life for residents, based on environmental protection, social responsibility, and transparent management."
