L&F announced on the 21st that it has received recognition for its sustainable management performance by receiving excellent evaluations from major domestic ESG evaluation agencies.
L&F earned an A grade for two consecutive years in SustainVest's "2025 Second Half ESG Evaluation" and was selected as one of the "100 Best ESG Companies." L&F also ranked 46th in a comprehensive evaluation of 50 companies with consolidated assets of over KRW 2 trillion, demonstrating balanced performance across the areas of environment (E), society (S), and governance (G).
In the Korea ESG Standards Board (KCGS) evaluation, the company achieved an overall grade of B+, rising one level from the previous year. The social (S) category maintained an A grade for the second consecutive year, while the governance (G) category rose from C to B. The environment (E) category maintained a B+ grade. The improved governance rating is the result of systematic improvement efforts, including the establishment of an anti-corruption plan, acquisition of ISO certification, and materiality reviews by the ESG Committee.
L&F has become the first cathode material company to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) Platinum certification for three consecutive years, achieving a 100% waste recycling rate. Through its subsidiary, JH Chemical Industry (JHC), L&F is leading the way in a circular economy by establishing a complete cycle system linking raw materials, cathode materials, customers, recycling, and then raw materials.
We are also focusing on strengthening our social responsibility. We are pursuing ESG-driven growth with our partners and local communities through activities such as joining the Responsible Minerals Sourcing Initiative (RMI), entering into ESG supply chain partnership agreements with industrial complexes, and participating in local environmental cleanup and volunteer activities.
L&F CEO Choi Soo-an said, “The excellent evaluations from domestic ESG rating agencies, the rise in the governance category, and the maintenance of an A grade in the social category for two consecutive years demonstrate that our ESG management is developing in a balanced manner,” adding, “We will further advance our ESG management and lead sustainable growth across the global supply chain.”
