HiteJinro released its '2026 Sustainability Management Report,' which outlines its ESG management achievements. On the 10th, the company announced that it presented a sustainability strategy for the next 100 years through this report.

This report is centered on seven key ESG issues selected through a double materiality assessment based on international disclosure standards: occupational safety and health, water resource management, energy and greenhouse gases, product safety and quality, compliance and ethics, climate change response, and chemical and hazardous substance management.

HiteJinro is strengthening environmental management to achieve carbon neutrality and respond to climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions have decreased for five consecutive years since 2020, with a reduction of approximately 25.9% by last year. Water usage also decreased by 5% compared to the previous year.

The company has also enhanced its capabilities in managing climate change risks. HiteJinro utilized Jupiter Intelligence for climate scenario analysis to assess the impact of physical risks from climate change on financial performance and established a response system.

Social value creation activities continue as well. Since 2020, HiteJinro has conducted annual beach cleanup campaigns, earning the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Award. Its nine-year-long support program for fire service families received the President's Pyo Chang-do (수상).

HiteJinro's Gangwon plant was recognized for strengthening win-win cooperation between main contractors and subcontractors, being selected as a '2025 Excellent Win-Win Workplace for Main Contractors and Subcontractors.' Additionally, it participated in the 'Cheongryam Gangnam Partners' agreement with Gangnam-gu to strengthen its anti-corruption network.

Since 2020, HiteJinro has invested approximately 11.7 billion won in 32 promising startups, contributing to shared growth.

Jang In-seop of HLee Teu-jin-ro (CEO) stated, "For HiteJinro, which is preparing for a new century beyond its centennial anniversary, sustainable management is not an option but the core of corporate competitiveness." He added, "We will implement ESG management across all areas including environment, society, and governance."
