Samsung C&T has moved up a notch to receive an A rating in the latest MSCI ESG Ratings assessment.

MSCI, or Morgan Stanley Capital International, evaluates and announces ESG Ratings for 14,000 companies worldwide based on their resilience to long-term, financially relevant ESG risks and their level of ESG management.

Samsung C&T continues to strengthen its foundation for a board-centered governance structure, having appointed an independent director as chairman of the board of directors last year as well as expanding and reorganizing its ESG Committee. The company also actively communicates with stakeholders, offering expanded information on its ESG activities via an annual Sustainability Report.

Within MSCI's Industrial Conglomerates category featuring companies operating various businesses, Samsung C&T is evaluated alongside other global firms like Siemens and 3M. Within the sector, there are only around 10 companies rated A or above.

Samsung C&T has been consistently recognized for its ESG management by reputable global and local evaluators. The company has been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for five consecutive years in addition to earning an overall A grade in the ESG evaluation by the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS) for six straight years.

Samsung C&T is committed to continued efforts to establish itself as a sustainable value creating company.
