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.

On November 30, JYP organized the “JYP Basketball Tournament,” an amateur charity event designed to raise funds for medical expenses of underprivileged children.
