JYP Entertainment received the top result from American Time magazine on “Best Global Sustainable Growth Company in 2025” and the first place in Korea.
On November 27 (local time), Time, a weekly American magazine, and Statista, a German market research company, announced the “Global Best Companies for Sustainable Growth 2025.” According to the report, JYP Entertainment in the Technology and Media & Services sectors scored 93.66, ranking third in the world among the world’s leading companies and No. 1 in Korea. Notably, it is the only Asian region to rank in the top 10.
The “Global Best Companies for Sustainable Growth 2025” ranking selects 500 companies from around the world that demonstrate outstanding sustainability performance while maintaining strong financial health. Time and Statista determined the final ranking by adding the company’s sales growth, financial security, and environmental impact at the same rate (based on a perfect score of 100).
According to German market research company Statista, “JYP Entertainment scored highly in all areas of sales growth, financial security, and sustainability. In particular, it uses a lot of green energy and is in the top 5% of carbon emissions. It is unusual for a company to perform equally well in all categories,” explaining the reason for the report card.
JYP Entertainment has been recognized for its active ESG management activities by obtaining “AA”, the highest rating among domestic K-pop entertainment companies, in Morgan Stanley Capital International’s (MSCI) 2023 ESG Assessment, and is taking the lead in taking steps toward a sustainable future by publishing a sustainability management report that records ESG promotion efforts and activities for the first time among domestic entertainment companies in 2022. In June this year, it published its third sustainability management report and revealed the results of the dual assessment of materiality and implementation activities considering the impact of corporate management activities on the environment and society and the impact of sustainability issues on the financial aspects of companies.
According to the report, JYP Entertainment is known for practicing human rights management and making efforts to protect life and safety in accordance with the safety and health organization and safety management policy in order to respect and realize the human rights of all stakeholders that may arise throughout business operations. JYP Entertainment CEO Jung Wook once said, “JYP continues to create a positive impact on society. The third sustainability management report contains JYP’s achievements and efforts to create a sustainable world with all stakeholders, including artists, trainees, executives, fans, and partners.”
In the meantime, JYP Entertainment is giving back to the company the great love its artists have received, under the leadership of its director PARK JIN YOUNG. Under the vision of “Every Dream Counts!: All Dreams in the World Are Important“, it carries out social contribution activities such as “EDM Treatment Expense Support Project”, “EDM Volunteer Service”, and “Love Earth Project” to support children’s dreams and create a healthy living foundation. Since November 30, through the charity amateur basketball tournament “JYP Basketball Tournament”, it has started to support the treatment expenses of vulnerable children. The participation fees of all teams participating in the charity basketball competition will be fully used for the treatment of vulnerable children through Samsung Medical Center, and JYP Entertainment will contribute to the social contribution by providing additional donations.
