JYP Entertainment Shines in TIME’s Sustainable Growth Rankings
On December 4, 2023, JYP Entertainment announced a remarkable achievement: as revealed in a collaboration between the U.S. magazine TIME and the German market analysis firm Statista, JYP ranked 3rd globally in the “World’s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025” within the Technology, Media & Services sector, securing the top position in South Korea. This accolade further distinguishes JYP as the only Asian company in the Top 10, underscoring its commitment to sustainable practices.
Top Competitors and Rankings
Leading the rankings were Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente and Grenergy Renovables, both operating within the utilities sector, claiming the 1st and 2nd spots respectively. Rounding out the top five were Intuit (4th), an American firm in Technology, Media & Services, and Beazley (5th), a UK-based company in the insurance and healthcare sectors.
Evaluating Sustainable Practices
The “World’s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025” report evaluates 500 global companies recognized for their robust financial performance alongside their sustainable growth initiatives. The rankings were determined by combining scores in three key areas: revenue growth, financial stability, and environmental impact, each weighted equally with a total possible score of 100 points. JYP achieved an impressive score of 93.66 points.
Factors Contributing to JYP’s High Score
Statista lauded JYP’s performance, stating, “The company excelled across all metrics, particularly with its strong emphasis on renewable energy and its classification within the top 5% for low carbon emissions. Achieving a balanced outcome across these diverse measures is uncommon.” This recognition highlights JYP’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
Leadership in Sustainability Reporting
JYP’s sustainability efforts have not gone unnoticed. In 2023, JYP earned the highest ESG rating (AA) among domestic K-pop entertainment companies according to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) evaluation. Notably, in 2022, JYP made history as the first local entertainment entity to publish a comprehensive sustainability report detailing its ongoing ESG initiatives.
Community Engagement Initiatives
This June, JYP released its third sustainability management report, revealing insights from its double materiality assessment which evaluates both the environmental and societal impacts of its operations alongside the financial risks of sustainability issues.
Under the visionary leadership of J.Y. Park, JYP and its roster of artists engage actively with the community through initiatives encapsulated in the philosophy “Every Dream Matters!: All Dreams are Precious.” These initiatives include the “EDM Medical Expense Support Project,” volunteer programs, and “Love Earth,” all aimed at fostering children’s aspirations and enhancing living environments.
Recent Charitable Endeavors
On November 30, JYP organized the “JYP Basketball Tournament,” an amateur charity event designed to raise funds for medical expenses of underprivileged children. All participation fees are directly donated to Samsung Medical Center to support treatment for disadvantaged pediatric patients. Moreover, JYP made additional contributions demonstrating a strong commitment to social responsibility.
