Established at the United Nations General Assembly in 2018, WBA annually identifies and assesses the 2,000 most influential companies contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This year’s list included 50 Korean companies, including POSCO Holdings.
Among more than 1,600 global companies assessed, POSCO Holdings placed fourth in the Just Transition Index and ranked first globally and in Korea in the steel and mining sector. The company also demonstrated ESG leadership by ranking 87th globally in the Nature Index, 16th at the sector level, and first in Korea.
POSCO Holdings’ recognition as a Top Performer was driven by its efforts to reduce carbon emissions through its HyREX hydrogen based steelmaking technology and its effective engagement with stakeholders. The company scored 75 out of 100 in the Just Transition Index, placing it among the global top five.
The company also received strong scores from several global ESG rating agencies last year. POSCO Holdings maintained an overall A rating for the third consecutive year in the MSCI assessment, while Sustainalytics assigned a risk score of 23.3, indicating medium risk, positioning the company within the top 4 percent of global steel producers in terms of management capability.
Following these achievements, POSCO Holdings participated in a WBA event held during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where it shared sustainability practices with other global companies and discussed carbon reduction alternatives to strengthen international cooperation.
