Hyundai Steel's sustainability report wins gold prize in US

South Korea's steelmaker Hyundai Steel announced Sunday that its integrated report 2022 Beyond Steel has been recognized for its excellence by a world-renowned public relations research institute.

Hyundai Steel won the gold prize for two consecutive years in the online and digital report category of the "2021-2022 LACP Vision Awards," an annual sustainability report contest hosted by the League of American Communications Professionals (LACP).

It was the only domestic steelmaker to win the prize and achieved the feat of ranking 66th among global companies. The LACP awards the best works by categorizing them into Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Hyundai Steel is providing the company's sustainability management information more accessible to various stakeholders by converting the integrated report into a responsive web-based digital report for the first time in the industry in 2021.

"We will continue to internalize and improve ESG management, as well as strive to constantly communicate the company's sustainability management activities to stakeholders," said an official of Hyundai Steel.
