ESG Management Strategy
Under the vision of "The Promise to Create a Beautiful World,” SeAH Steel has established an ESG strategy (PROMISE), selected through a sustainability slogan contest, with a strategic focus on “Clean and Sustainable Environment” in the environmental (E) area, “Safe and Fair Society” in the social (S) area, and “Sound and Transparent Governance” in the governance (G) area. The key issues that were selected based on the double materiality assessment methodology are “Responding to Climate Change”, “Creating a Safe and Healthy Workplace”, and “Strengthening Anti-Corruption and Ethical Management”. The foundation of our ESG strategy is “Value Creation”, “Respect for Humanity”, and “Contribution to Human Society”, on which SeAH Steel practices sustainable management, community sharing, compliance, ethical management, and building human capital management.
