OCI Holdings announced on April 9 that it has achieved an overall ‘A’ rating in the 2025 ESG assessment conducted by MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International).

MSCI, one of the most authoritative global ESG rating agencies, has evaluated listed companies worldwide on key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors since 1999. Its rating scale ranges from CCC to AAA.

Since receiving a ‘BB’ rating in 2021, OCI Holdings has steadily improved its performance, achieving ‘BBB’ in 2022 and ‘A’ in 2023, and has now maintained the ‘A’ rating for three consecutive years.

According to the latest MSCI assessment, OCI Holdings demonstrated strong performance in chemical safety management relative to industry peers.

The Company achieved high scores in multiple areas, including cleantech initiatives such as R&D focused on environmentally friendly and low-carbon technologies, management of toxic emissions and waste, and chemical safety programs covering phase-out plans for hazardous substances and efforts to identify substances subject to regulatory risk.

In addition, OCI Holdings received strong evaluations in governance-related areas, including financial reliability, adequacy of internal controls, and tax transparency, reflecting its continued efforts to strengthen corporate governance.

Looking ahead, OCI Holdings plans to further enhance ESG management across the Group through its ESG Leadership Council, established in 2024, while strengthening its foundation for sustainable growth.

Earlier in January, the Company held its 2026 ESG Leadership Council meeting at the OCI Building in Seoul, attended by senior executives from 12 key domestic and overseas affiliates. During the meeting, participants reviewed ESG performance and progress, presented ESG management goals tailored to each affiliate’s regional and business characteristics, and discussed opportunities for collaboration and synergy at the Group level.

An OCI Holdings official stated, “This achievement reflects our continued efforts to enhance transparency in ESG disclosure and strengthen communication with stakeholders, including customers and shareholders. We will continue to advance our ESG practices in line with global standards to build a sustainable foundation for future growth.”

Meanwhile, OCI Co., Ltd., a key operating subsidiary, earned a Gold rating—awarded to the top 5% of companies—for the second consecutive year in the 2025 sustainability assessment conducted by EcoVadis, further reinforcing the Group’s overall ESG competitiveness.
