Taihan Secures Fifth Consecutive ESG ‘A Grade’ Following Integration into the Hoban Group
- The only wire and cable company to earn an Integrated A Grade in 2021 and maintain it for five consecutive years
- Strong and well-aligned performance across Environment, Social, and Governance categories
- Continuous achievements driven by structured implementation plans and organization-wide commitment
Taihan has reaffirmed its leadership in sustainable management by maintaining a top-tier ESG rating within the wire and cable industry.
The company announced on the 20th that it received an Integrated “A (Excellent)” rating in the 2025 ESG assessment conducted by the Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability (KCGS). This accomplishment marks the fifth consecutive year Taihan has earned an A rating since becoming the only wire and cable manufacturer in Korea to achieve the distinction in 2021, following its incorporation into the Hoban Group.
In the 2025 assessment, Taihan received A in the Environmental (E) and Social (S), and B+ in Governance (G), reflecting strong and consistent performance across the ESG pillars. These results are attributed to the company’s structured implementation strategies and its robust, organization-wide commitment to advancing ESG principles.
Taihan continues to strengthen its sustainability efforts through its carbon-neutrality roadmap, installing solar power facilities and carrying out long-term ecosystem preservation projects. In collaboration with the Hoban Group, the company has also expanded its social contribution initiatives, including community volunteering, blood donation campaigns, and disaster relief efforts. Taihan also supports athletes with disabilities by providing employment and training opportunities. In addition, the company operates comprehensive family-friendly programs spanning pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare to enhance employee welfare and promote a more supportive work–life environment.
To establish a transparent and ethical corporate governance culture, Taihan has reinforced its internal control and risk management frameworks and advanced its compliance systems. The company’s excellence in compliance was formally recognized through the acquisition of ISO 37301, the international standard for compliance management systems.
A Taihan spokesperson stated, “Securing an Integrated A Grade for five consecutive years is a testament to our genuine commitment to ESG management and the collective efforts of all our employees,” adding, “We will continue to uphold ESG as a core value and pursue sustainable growth through balanced progress in environmental protection, social responsibility, and transparent governance.”
KCGS evaluates the ESG performance of domestic companies and assigns both category-specific and integrated ratings. In its 2025 assessment, the organization reviewed 1,024 companies, including 805 listed on the Korea Exchange, and awarded A Grade or higher to 216 firms, representing approximately 27 percent of those evaluated.
