Hyundai Motor Publishes 2026 Sustainability Report

SEOUL, June 30, 2026 – Hyundai Motor Company today announced the publication of its ‘2026 Sustainability Report,’ which details the company’s diverse efforts, achievements, goals and future plans for sustainable management. Hyundai Motor has published the report annually since 2003 to communicate its financial and non-financial performance and to actively engage with global stakeholders, including investors and customers.

At Hyundai, we do not assume progress is inevitable. It has to be earned, year after year, through consistent and decisive action. Sustainability is a core part of our transformation into a high-technology mobility company. This report is our accounting of 2025, the progress of our teams, and the work that still lies ahead. We are proud of how far we have come, and clear about how much further we have to go. We will continue to do more this year and beyond.

José Muñoz

President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company

The ‘2026 Sustainability Report’ is divided into three main sections: Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).

How is Hyundai Motor Accelerating its Environmental Commitments?

In the Environment section, the report details significant progress in the global transition to renewable energy.


Highlights include:

  • Achieving RE100, whereby 100 percent of electricity comes from renewable sources, at all operational sites in Europe, North America and India
  • Signing a 147 MW photovoltaic power purchase agreement (PPA) at its new Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Georgia
  • Establishing an advanced system for recycling end-of-life batteries to support circular economy expansion


Beyond these achievements, the report outlines expansion of Hyundai Motor Group's integrated hydrogen value chain and next-generation electrification strategy. The company has also integrated biodiversity risk management by incorporating the Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework, which helps minimize the environmental impact of corporate activities across all operations.

What Progress Has Been Made in Social Responsibility and Supply Chain Management?

In the Social section, Hyundai Motor demonstrates enhanced product responsibility and comprehensive employee support initiatives.


Key initiatives include:

  • Achieving top safety ratings (TSP/TSP+) from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for 16 of its vehicle models
  • The establishment of the ‘2030 Safety Management Strategy (Together for BAROZERO)’ and expanded investment to strengthen occupational safety standards


The company has also introduced a ‘Just Transition’ initiative to ensure employees can successfully navigate the industry's evolution toward electrification and artificial intelligence. The program provides training and development opportunities to support this transition.

How is Hyundai Motor Strengthening Its Corporate Governance?

The Governance section details the company’s efforts to improve the diversity and independence of its Board of Directors.


Key improvements include:

  • Introducing the Lead Independent Director system to enhance transparency in board decision-making processes
  • Strengthening board diversity with four female directors and three international directors out of total 12 directors, reflecting commitment to inclusive leadership


The report also specifies the company’s commitment to responsible management for maximizing shareholder value and proactive risk management, including:

  • A ‘Value-up Program’ targeting a minimum total shareholder return (TSR) of 35 percent for the 2025–2027 period
  • Developing an ‘AI Governance Framework’ to guide the ethical application of AI technologies

How Is Hyundai Motor Improving Report Accessibility?

To improve information accessibility, Hyundai Motor is releasing a ‘Summary Report’ alongside the main report. This condensed version highlights key sustainability achievements and summarizes topics such as climate change response and sustainable supply chain management, making the company's sustainability initiatives easy to understand.


The ‘2026 Hyundai Motor Sustainability Report’ and its summary can be found on the Hyundai Motor website’s sustainability section.
