Hanil Cement was ranked number 1 in the eco-friendly cement part of the "2021 Consumer Wellbeing Environmental Satisfaction Index (KS-WEI)" hosted by the Korean Standards Association (KSA) at the Sogong-dong Lotte Hotel in Seoul on June 24.

The "2022 Consumer Wellbeing Environmental Satisfaction Index" evaluates health functionality, eco-friendliness, user safety, customer satisfaction, and social responsibility for 364 brands in a total of 111 product and service groups. A survey company was hired to survey 72,800 consumers who had experience using the products or services. Hanil Cement received the highest score in the four areas of health functionality, eco-friendliness, user safety, and social responsibility; thus ranking first in the eco-friendly cement sector.

Hanil Cement has been preemptively responding to construction site issues by launching products such as "high-density floor ready-mixed mortar" that is effective for reducing floor noises and Polyfix 1000 and Polyfix 2000 that reduced dust by 80% compared to the existing tile adhesion mortar. The "Premium Plastering Ready-Mixed Mortar 25kg" product, which greatly reduced the weight compared to the existing 40kg packaging, also contributed significantly to the safety of on-site workers.

Hanil Cement has been striving to construct eco-friendly plants by installing generation equipment using waste energy from furnaces and using circulating resource fuel at its largest production plant in Dangyang. Plans include investing 271 billion KRW in eco-friendly facilities by 2025 to expand the use of circulating resource fuels from 37% to 60% as it accelerates efforts for ESG management, thereby reducing carbon emissions by 30% by 2030.

In response to the demands for ESG management that emphasizes the social responsibilities of companies, Hanil Cement implemented the "Coexistence Cooperation-type Naeil Chaeum Mutual Aid" on the 10th to seek mutual growth with its partner companies. Through this program, it plans to support 1.9 billion KRW to help workers at partner companies save up for a lump sum over a period of two years.

“This award once again reminded us that we are a leading company of the cement industry, including our massive social responsibility. We will produce safe, environment-friendly products throughout the entire process of production to sales by placing utmost value on customer satisfaction,” Hanil Cement stated.
