Our rating this year shows that we are not only maintaining but actively strengthening our sustainability practices and we are incredibly proud to be leading the way on sustainable business practices within our sector. The achievement also highlights the dedication of SONGWON's global team, who play a vital role in advancing our sustainability goals and whose daily efforts drive our progress.”
