SEOUL, July 4, 2025 – Hyundai Motor Company has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing the company’s comprehensive efforts, achievements, goals, and future plans for sustainable business operations.
Since 2003, Hyundai Motor has published annual sustainability reports to disclose a wide range of information demonstrating its commitment to sustainable management and facilitate active communication with stakeholders, including investors, customers, and communities worldwide.
“Hyundai is committed to sustainable mobility in the vehicles we offer and the processes we use to produce them. Hyundai has made incredible progress in reducing the environmental impact of our vehicles throughout their lifecycle, including the manufacturing process, with our ultimate goal of carbon neutrality by 2045,” said José Muñoz, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company. “Our ‘Progress for Humanity’ vision reflects our belief that advancing emissions-free mobility is not only sound business, but a shared responsibility to ensure cleaner air and a better quality of life for future generations.”
The 2025 report is structured around three core pillars: Environment, Social, and Governance.
Environment
