OCI Holdings announced on February 2 that it held the 2026 Regular ESG Leadership Council Meeting on January 30 at the OCI Building in Jung-gu, Seoul. Senior executives from major domestic and overseas subsidiaries participated in discussions on ESG management goals and key implementation strategies for the year.
Established in 2024, the OCI ESG Leadership Council is the Group’s highest decision-making body for ESG matters. It oversees ESG strategy and performance at the group level and operates independently from ESG committees under the boards of individual subsidiaries.
The meeting was attended by Vice Chairman Yooshin Kim of OCI and Senior Executive Vice President Sumi Lee of OCI Holdings, along with senior executives from major domestic subsidiaries including OCI SE, DCRE, and Bukwang Pharmaceutical. Executives from global subsidiaries such as OCI Enterprises (U.S.) and OCI TerraSus (Malaysia) joined via video conference.
During the session, participants reviewed ESG performance and progress to date and shared ESG management objectives reflecting the regional and business characteristics of each subsidiary. They also discussed opportunities for group-wide collaboration and ways to generate synergies across the Group.
As a holding company, OCI Holdings has set its 2026 ESG management objective as “building systems based on global ESG standards to enhance corporate value.” The company aims to further strengthen ESG management across the Group and solidify the foundation for sustainable growth over the mid to long term.
The Group identified three key priority initiatives:
● Establishing a group-wide greenhouse gas inventory to support voluntary and systematic emissions management
● Strengthening the enterprise risk management (ERM) framework, including safety, human rights, ethics, and information security
● Enhancing governance through regular monitoring of ESG implementation and improved management systems across subsidiaries
Senior Executive Vice President Sumi Lee of OCI Holdings said, “The ESG Leadership Council serves as a key platform for reviewing ESG performance across all domestic and overseas subsidiaries and setting unified group-level standards and strategic direction.” She added, “We will continue to integrate ESG considerations into management decision-making and risk management to advance sustainable management across the Group.”
Meanwhile, OCI Holdings maintained an overall ‘A’ rating for the third consecutive year in the 2025 ESG Ratings assessment conducted by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI).
In addition, operating subsidiary OCI Company received ‘Gold’ rating for the second consecutive year—awarded to the top 5% of assessed companies—in the 2025 sustainability assessment conducted by global ESG rating agency EcoVadis, further demonstrating the Group’s strong ESG competitiveness.
