Coway Co., Ltd. published its 21st sustainability report, providing an overview of its environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals as of the end of 2025. To lead its vision to become a “Company Caring for a Better Earth,” Coway established its ESG Committee in 2021, which has set and monitored the company’s mid- to -long-term goals.
Among those goals is the desire to be Net Zero by 2050. In 2025, the company completed its third on-site solar power plant in South Korea, which is expected to increase total annual solar power generation across all business sites by 29%, and exceeded its initial target for recycled raw materials through its closed-loop resource circulation system.
As part of its social initiatives, the company has prioritized customer feedback, leading to the development of its Smart Moving Faucet and its incorporation into the Icon Water Purifier 3, which enhanced hygiene and safety. The company also reinforced its security architecture and monitoring capabilities to ensure statutory compliance, operational stability and customer trust.
To further improve transparency in its governance and boost shareholder value, the company introduced a Senior Independent Director system in 2025, as well as a Related Party Transaction Committee and a Compensation Committee. The company also debuted its new Corporate Value-Up Plan, which is committed to enhancing shareholder value by doubling its target shareholder return rate from 20% to 40%.
“Amid ongoing global economic uncertainty, Coway has achieved record-high revenue and is continuing to deliver solid growth,” said Jangwon Seo, Coway CEO. “By synthesizing our economic performance with our closely-held ESG values through the development of innovative new products and continued investment in R&D, we are establishing ourselves as a sustainable corporate competitor within the global market.”
