KT&G has won the '2026 Korea IR Awards' Choi U (수상).
On the 18th, at the '2026 Korea IR Awards' held at Yeouido Korea Exchange KRX Market Square, KT&G received the Choi U (수상), a Korea Exchange Lee (President) award.
The Korea IR Council under the Korea Exchange has annually selected and awarded outstanding IR companies since 2001 for their proactive and efficient investor relations (IR) activities and their implementation of shareholder value-centered management, which contribute to the development of the capital market.
KT&G was highly evaluated for establishing an 'open IR culture' in which executives directly present global new business strategies, shareholder return plans, and growth investment plans through regular and irregular IR events, and reflect investor opinions in the design and execution of corporate policies, thereby earning the Choi U (수상) award.
A KT&G official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, stated, "The recent share purchases by global investors represent the capital market's trust in the company's future growth potential and are a result of its excellent shareholder return policy that has led to high valuation of future value."
