-Ranked within the top 30% of sustainability management assessment, and recognized for outstanding ESG management capabilities
-DL E&C plans to faithfully fulfill its roles and responsibilities for sustainable management.
DL E&C announced on the 11th that it has been newly incorporated into ‘DJSI Korea’ as a result of assessing the ‘2023 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices’ released by S&P Global of the United States.
DJSI is a globally recognized index in the field of sustainability assessment and investment. It assesses the level of sustainability, taking into account not only a company’s economic performance, but also its environmental, social and governance performance. As global interest in ESG management has increased in recent years, DJSI is widely used by global investors as a standard for responsible investment decision-making.
DJSI Korea includes only companies that have received evaluation indices within the top 30% of the 200 largest companies in terms of liquid market capitalization in Korea. With DL E&C’s new inclusion, three companies, including Hyundai E&C and Samsung Engineering, were listed in the construction sector.
DL E&C selected sustainable green construction, fulfillment of social responsibility, and responsible business as its three key strategies for ESG management in 2023, and established its ESG management system and long-term goals for 9 key areas. DL E&C also received high scores in this assessment as it substantively implemented ESG improvement activities through the operation of ESG committee under the board of directors, and the ESS Working Group, an internal executive council.
An official from DL E&C said, “We will continue to assiduously fulfill our roles and responsibility for sustainable management by means of response to climate change, planning carbon neutral strategy, and response to global ESG disclosure standards led by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) in order to enhance our corporate value.”
