IS Dongseo Wins Top Prize in Sustainability Management Report Category at KEMI ESG Awards

[Financial News] IS Dongseo won the top prize in the sustainability management report category at the “KEMI ESG Awards 2026.”
According to IS Dongseo on the 12th, the event, hosted by the Korea ESG Management Development Institute (KEMI), marked its second edition this year. It evaluates sustainability management reports published by domestic companies and public institutions, including the transparency and reliability of ESG disclosures and the quality of stakeholder engagement.
Key evaluation criteria included stakeholder engagement performance, the materiality assessment process, climate-related disclosures, quantitative performance, results against targets, and whether negative impacts and shortfalls were disclosed.
IS Dongseo received high marks for expanding its eco-friendly businesses, including offshore wind power generation, and disclosing climate-related information. Its quantitative management of ESG performance and specific reporting on whether targets had been met were also cited as key reasons for the award.
The company also systematized its key indicators so that its ESG performance could be assessed objectively. IS Dongseo set a total of 16 key ESG performance indicators (KPIs) and disclosed its results against its 2025 targets and its achievement rates.
The transparent disclosure of areas where targets had not been met also drew attention. IS Dongseo was praised for enhancing transparency and credibility by explaining the reasons for shortfalls and outlining future improvement plans for indicators that fell short of their targets.
An IS Dongseo representative said, “This award recognizes our efforts to manage ESG performance based on objective data and disclose it transparently,” adding, “We will continue to advance ESG management across environmental, social and governance areas and strengthen the foundations for sustainable growth.”
The “2026 Sustainability Management Report,” published for the fifth time this year, outlines the company’s ESG management performance and medium- to long-term strategies. The report underwent third-party verification by an independent external expert organization and is available on the company’s official website.
