POSCO Future M said Monday it was listed for the third consecutive year in the S&P Global’s Sustainability Yearbook 2026, a list that recognizes global leaders in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) practices.
Since 1999, S&P Global has published the Sustainability Yearbook based on its corporate assessment of ESG values. The list is widely regarded as a credible benchmark that measures companies’ global ESG leadership.
Last year, the rating house assessed approximately 9,200 listed global companies in 59 industries and awarded 848 companies with ratings of “Top 1 percent,” “5 percent,” “10 percent” and “Member (15 percent).” Firms with scores that improved by more than 5 percent from a year earlier were granted the “Industry Mover” title.
In the 2026 edition, POSCO Future M received Member ratings in the field of Electrical Components & Equipment. It was recognized as a Member and Industry Mover in 2024 and a Member in 2025.
POSCO Future M received favorable assessments in carbon emission reductions, supply chain management and strengthened safety and health practices. Under the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the company is expanding the use of renewable energy, shifting to low-carbon fuels and improving process efficiency.
It also uses responsibly sourced minerals, such as tungsten and cobalt, that are certified as free from human rights violations.
