HK inno.N announced on July 1 that it clinched the top spot among large-cap companies with assets of KRW 2 trillion or more, as well as earning the highest grade of 'AA,' in the 2026 First-Half ESG Rating announced by SUSTINVEST, an ESG rating agency.
SUSTINVEST is one of the major ESG rating agencies in South Korea. Every year, the agency conducts ESG assessments of South Korean companies in the first and second halves of the year. The 2026 First-Half ESG Rating was conducted on 1,305 South Korean companies.
According to the result of the evaluation, HK inno.N secured the No. 1 position in the group of corporations with assets of KRW 2 trillion or more within the 'ESG Best Companies 100,' the 100 listed companies with excellent performance across all three ESG pillars: Environmental, Social, and Governance. With this result, HK inno.N accomplished the No. 1 position in the size-tier rating for five consecutive halves since the first half of 2024.
In particular, the 2026 First-Half ESG Rating is the first rating conducted since HK inno.N was included in the group of companies with assets of KRW 2 trillion or more, and the evaluation result carries considerable significance as the Company established its position as a leading ESG company, outperforming other large-scale corporations in South Korea.
In the Environmental pillar, HK inno.N achieved tangible greenhouse gas reductions following the transition to renewable energy sources by entering into a third-party power purchase agreement (PPA). In the Social pillar, the Company conducted systematic due diligence on its overseas supply chain for the management of the global supply chain. In the Governance pillar, the Company developed a CEO succession policy to ensure establishment of a transparent and stable management system.
HK inno.N published the 2025 Sustainability Report on June 30, presenting its ESG management strategy and performance. In this report, the layout of the report was completely renewed from the previous landscape orientation to the portrait orientation of the standard disclosure format. In addition, a companywide ESG data platform was developed, significantly enhancing the integrity and reliability of the data.
Dal-won Kwak, CEO of HK inno.N, commented, "This is a meaningful achievement signifying formal recognition of our ESG performance across all industries, going beyond the biopharmaceutical industry," and added, "Moving forward, we will continue to spearhead efforts in promoting values of sustainability in the Environmental, Social, and Governance pillars."
