Hansem wins award for building energy efficiency

Hansem, a fashion specialist company within Hyundai Department Store Group, has been recognized with a special award in the building energy category at the 2026 Seoul Environment Awards. The accolade highlights the company's commitment to sustainable environmental practices and carbon reduction.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government established the Environment Awards in 1997 to promote environmental conservation and carbon neutrality. The building energy award specifically recognizes organizations that excel in improving building energy efficiency and conservation through programs like Eco-Mileage, which rewards reduced energy consumption with mileage points redeemable like cash.

This award is significant because our eco-friendly management efforts for energy saving have been socially recognized.

In the past year, Hansem significantly reduced its carbon footprint, cutting approximately 109 tons of carbon dioxide emissions compared to the 2023-2024 average. The company equates this reduction to the environmental benefit of planting about 780 pine trees. This achievement underscores Hansem's dedication to environmental responsibility.

Further demonstrating its commitment, Hansem upgraded all old fluorescent lights in its headquarters to high-efficiency LED products in 2024. The company also actively participates in the Korea Power Exchange's demand response program, which encourages reduced electricity consumption. Hansem views this award as a validation of its eco-friendly management efforts and pledges to continue its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives to combat climate change and protect the environment.

We will continue to fulfill our social responsibility as a company for climate crisis response and environmental protection, leading the way in genuine ESG management.
