The year 2026 marks an important turning point for HL D&I Halla as we further solidify the foundation for sustainable growth and prepare for a new leap forward. Despite a challenging business environment characterized by prolonged high interest rates and inflation, uncertainty in the real estate market, and growing geopolitical risks, we have remained steadfast in upholding our fundamental values of safety and quality, climate change response, and integrity management. Under the vision of “STRIDE for Higher Life,” HL D&I Halla promotes ESG management centered on the core values of Frontier, Together, and Integrity. This represents our commitment to establish specific goals across all environmental, social, and governance areas and embed them throughout our management activities.

We will fulfill our environmental responsibility for a sustainable future.

The climate crisis and increasingly stringent global disclosure standards require companies to demonstrate a higher level of transparency and execution capability. HL D&I Halla regards these changes as opportunities for growth and is strengthening its climate change response and competitiveness in eco-friendly construction. We systematically manage our greenhouse gas emissions and will continue to advance our low-carbon management system based on a reduction pathway in reference to the criteria of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We will also operate an on-site environmental management system aimed at achieving zero environmental accidents and fulfill our environmental responsibility as a construction company by improving waste recycling rates and expanding eco-friendly products and technologies.

We will build a safe and responsible society where we grow together.

Safety is the most fundamental and highest-priority social responsibility in the construction industry. HL D&I Halla operates a site-centered safety management system aimed at reducing industrial accidents and lost-time injuries and achieving zero workplace fatalities, so that all employees and subcontractor workers can work with confidence. We will also strengthen shared growth partnerships with our subcontractors by enhancing ESG management systems and support programs tailored to their needs. At the same time, we will fulfill our responsibilities as a corporate citizen by expanding communication with local communities, social contribution activities, and biodiversity conservation initiatives. Our residential brand, EFETE, also represents an extension of these social values. In line with the meaning of “Everyone’s Favorite, Complete,” EFETE embodies HL D&I Halla’s commitment to providing customers with safer and more comfortable living spaces. Going beyond technology-centered construction, we will expand our role within the industry by creating people-centered value.

We will enhance our future competitiveness in construction through AI and digital innovation.

HL D&I Halla is advancing the digital transformation of design, construction, quality, and safety based on AI and digital technologies. Through DivotFiX, an AI-powered robot for repairing golf-course divots, and the intelligent residential platform touchHL AI House, we will improve customer safety and convenience and strengthen our future competitiveness in smart construction.

We will establish transparent and responsible governance based on integrity management.

HL D&I Halla regards ethics and compliance as fundamental principles of sustainable growth. We operate a sustainability management reporting system centered on the Board of Directors and, through our company-wide risk management framework, ensure that key ESG issues are effectively incorporated into management decision-making. In addition, we will further advance our internal control monitoring and inspection systems to establish a transparent and trusted management culture and continue responsible communication with stakeholders. As a result of these efforts, HL D&I Halla became the only domestic construction company to receive an A+ rating in the KCGS ESG evaluation and won Platinum at the LACP Vision Awards for two consecutive years, gaining recognition at home and abroad for its sustainability management capabilities.
