- OCI Holdings implements advanced ESG management practices, including the establishment of mid- to long-term ESG strategies and environmental goals.

- In May, the OCI Group established the OCI ESG Leadership Council to expand advanced ESG management centered on the holding company.

- OCI company also listed in DJSI Korea for the second consecutive year, recognized for its high ESG management capabilities.

OCI Holdings announced on the 18th that it has been listed in the 2024 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) Korea for the 16th consecutive year.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) are sustainability evaluation indicators of S&P Global in the United States, which annually compile and announce the economic performance, environmental, social, and governance aspects of global companies.

These indices are provided to investors worldwide and are widely used as criteria for responsible investment by various stakeholders, including global asset management companies such as JP Morgan, UBS, and Deutsche Bank.

In this evaluation, OCI Holdings received uniformly high scores across all areas of environment, society, and governance, and was particularly recognized for enhancing overall corporate transparency in areas such as ▲the level of materiality assessment, ▲UN Global Compact activities, and ▲anti-bribery and corruption management.

Since its transition to a holding company in May last year, OCI Holdings has proactively responded to global ESG issues by establishing mid- to long-term ESG strategy systems and environmental goals. In late May, the company established the OCI ESG Leadership Council to internalize the holding company-centered ESG management system across all domestic and international affiliates.

Additionally, OCI Holdings is conducting various ESG activities both domestically and internationally, such as creating the OCI Forest in downtown Seoul, marine biodiversity conservation campaigns in the Gunsan area, supporting education for disabled people in Malaysia, and promoting eco-friendly energy activities.

Yoo-shin Kim, President of OCI Holdings, stated, "I believe that the inclusion in the DJSI Korea index is the result of the OCI Group's continuous efforts to practice ESG management at the company-wide level," and added, “We will continue to make our best efforts to become a leading global ESG management company, with the newly established OCI ESG Leadership Council at the forefront.”

Furthermore, OCI Holdings received an integrated A (excellent) grade for the eighth consecutive year in the 2024 ESG evaluation announced by the Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability (KCGS) in October, with grades of B+ in environment, A+ in society, and A in governance. The Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability is a leading domestic ESG evaluation agency that annually assesses the sustainability management levels of listed companies.
