Hankook Tire in top 1% of EcoVadis CSR assessment

Business sustainability ratings provider EcoVadis has awarded Hankook Tire & Technology a platinum medal in its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) 2021 assessment. Platinum is, the tyre maker notes, a status bestowed upon companies whose performance is within the top one per cent of their industry sector. The current platinum medal is Hankook’s third back-to-back top-tier EcoVadis award; it earned the then highest gold award in 2019, followed by a platinum award upon the introduction of this recognition last year.

“We are honoured to receive the highest rating by EcoVadis for three consecutive years. It proves our leadership in building a sustainable ecosystem for the tyre industry,” said Sooil Lee, president and chief executive officer of Hankook Tire & Technology. “We will continue our commitment to sustainability management not only to secure future growth but also to make the greener world.”
