Hankook Tire was selected as an outstanding company in the Purchasing Sustainability sector after being evaluated on a wide range of factors related to corporate social responsibility, including the environment, health and safety, human rights, ethics management and actions against climate. In particular, Hankook Tire received the highest score in social contribution, nominated as Highest Supplier and recognised for its global commitment in sustainable management.

“Hankook Tire will continue to form strategic partnerships with global automotive manufacturers based on global top tier technology and continuous innovation,” said Hyun Jun Cho, head of Hankook Tire’s OE Division. “Furthermore, we will consistently enhance efforts to resolve environmental and social issues as a sustainability management business.”
