[Edaily Reporter PARK MIN ] NH INVESTMENT & SECURITIES(005940)announced on the 29th that it has published its “2026 Integrated Sustainability Report,” which details its achievement of the best financial results since its founding, as well as its accomplishments in creating sustainable value across environmental, social, agricultural, and governance (ESG) areas, and its climate response strategies.

The 2026 Integrated Sustainability Report is divided into: △ a magazine section comprising three themes—carbon neutrality, rural symbiosis, and AI/digital; △ a “Framework” section covering the company profile and business status; △ a “Vision & Strategy” section introducing the company’s sustainability management system and strategies; and △ a “Performance” section organizing activities and achievements by issue under the 3P (Planet, People, Principle) framework.

This report identified 15 material issues through a double materiality assessment. Among these, △Incorporation of Responsible Investment Principles, △Mutual Prosperity with Agriculture and Rural Communities and Cooperation with Local Communities, and △Mid- to Long-Term Business Performance and Corporate Value were newly selected issues; a separate table of contents was created to disclose detailed implementation activities and results.

The Magazine section condenses key achievements centered on three themes—carbon neutrality, rural co-prosperity, and AI/digital—and enhances readability and focus by featuring only representative issues. In the Performance section, key quantitative indicators are placed directly within the text, allowing readers to follow a seamless flow of qualitative descriptions and numerical data.

In the area of agricultural and rural support, the organization operates tailored support programs that categorize farmers’ life cycles into four stages: children, adolescents, youth, and seniors. The plan outlines a phased approach from this year through 2030 to enhance program execution, expand the scope of support, and transition to an agricultural ecosystem integrated with cutting-edge technology, thereby simultaneously securing the stability of rural communities and agricultural competitiveness.

In the area of climate response, the company achieved a CDP Leadership A rating (the highest grade) and met its 2025 reduction targets for internal emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and financial emissions. It launched “NHIS K-ETS HTS,” the industry’s first carbon credit brokerage service, and expanded cooperation in the global carbon market through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI).

Shin Jae-wook, CEO of NH INVESTMENT & SECURITIES, stated, “Transparently disclosing NH INVESTMENT & SECURITIES’ sustainable management performance is our responsibility to the capital market,” adding, “We will continue to pursue sustainable growth based on trust with our stakeholders.”

The “2026 Integrated Sustainability Report” is available on the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system and on NH INVESTMENT & SECURITIES’ official website.
