Hanwha Vision has recently joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the global corporate sustainability initiative.
“Hanwha Vision’s commitment”
“Joining the UNGC strengthens Hanwha Vision’s commitment to upholding the highest global standards for sustainable management,” said Soonhong Ahn, President and CEO, Hanwha Vision.
“We believe that our corporate activities, investments and solution development, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, can contribute meaningfully to the goals of the United Nations and the international community.”
Ten key principles
The UNGC encourages companies to integrate ten key principles into their core operations and strategies.
These principles cover areas such as human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption.
With over 20,000 participants in 167 countries, the UNGC provides a framework for businesses to contribute to a more sustainable future.
Through its UNGC membership, Hanwha Vision will strengthen its ESG (environmental, social and governance) efforts and embed the organisation’s ten principles into its practices and corporate culture.
“As a global leader in the video surveillance industry, we applaud Hanwha Vision’s membership in the UNGC and believe it will have a valuable impact on fostering a more sustainable domestic and international video surveillance industry,” added Yeonchul Yoo, Executive Director, UNGC Network Korea.
“We look forward to supporting Hanwha Vision as it accelerates its ESG journey.”
