Himpel (CEO Kim Jeong-hwan), a ventilation appliance specialist, announced on August 22 that it has joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
Established by the United Nations in 2000, the UNGC is the world's largest voluntary agreement on sustainable management. It encourages adherence to ten principles in four key areas—human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption—and participation in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Currently, approximately 25,000 companies and organizations from 167 countries have joined the UNGC, and approximately 300 large corporations, mid-sized companies, and public institutions in Korea have also joined.
Himpel's recent membership is part of its commitment to strengthening its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management and implementing global sustainable management practices. The company plans to incorporate the UNGC's Ten Principles and the SDGs into all of its business activities and establish a systematic ESG management system that meets international standards.
Kim Jeong-hwan, CEO of Himpel, said, “Through this membership, we will actively pursue ESG management in the ventilation appliance industry and strive to strengthen our competitiveness in line with global standards.”
