In the environmental sector, the company disclosed the current status of its offshore wind power, pumped-storage, hydrogen and ammonia, nuclear power, and small modular reactor (SMR) businesses. To invest in renewable energy and related initiatives, Hyundai Engineering & Construction issued green bonds totaling 310 billion won. The company also recorded purchases of eco-friendly products and services amounting to 779.7 billion won.


An internal control process has also been established to oversee ESG data, from collection to verification and disclosure. The company manages and verifies data for each business site using its exclusive ESG IT system, "H-SYNC."


This report incorporates standards from the Korea Sustainability Standards Board (KSSB), the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards 2021).


Hyundai Engineering & Construction continues to maintain major achievements, such as earning a composite A grade from the Korea ESG Standards Institute (KCGS) for eight consecutive years, inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World for 16 consecutive years, induction into the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Hall of Fame for eight consecutive years, and receiving an A grade in the MSCI ESG ratings.



A Hyundai Engineering & Construction representative stated, "This report was published with a focus on proactively responding to changes in the global sustainability disclosure environment and enhancing the reliability and transparency of ESG information. Moving forward, we will continue to create a sustainable future based on three strategic directions: implementing a low-carbon society, providing a better quality of life, and building stakeholder trust."
