Hyundai details past and future in sustainability report

Hyundai has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing its comprehensive efforts, achievements, goals, and future plans for sustainable business operations.

This report is structured around three core pillars: Environment, Social, and Governance.

The report highlights innovative projects such as the Car-to-Car Project, which incorporates materials recycled from end-of-life vehicles into new car production. It also details investments in renewable energy expansion, including Korea's largest corporate power purchase agreement and the introduction of renewable energy initiatives at international facilities.

Hyundai has also pledged its support for environmental initiatives through its participation in major global sustainability initiatives, including joining the Responsible Business Alliance and Drive Sustainability. The report outlines its supply chain risk screening programs and new diversity initiatives, including updated goals for executives and employees as well as comprehensive training for global leadership and staff.

Meanwhile, the governance section details Hyundai's efforts to strengthen board independence and diversity as well as enhancing decision-making transparency and stakeholder communications. These efforts include the appointment of senior independent directors, the establishment of an independent director council, and two new female directors.

In addition, to improve accessibility and usability, the report includes a separate "Sustainability Factbook" containing three-year trends of key quantitative sustainability data and indices aligned with global disclosure standards. These include the Global Reporting Initiative and European Sustainability Reporting Standards.
