Companies nowadays are facing unprecedented difficulties from aggravated global business environment along with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, opportunities still exist in times of the pandemic, and only companies that increase their value by fulfilling their environmental and social responsibilities can succeed in the future. As such, we are striving to become a sustainable company by communicating proactively with our stakeholders in recognition of our roles and responsibilities as a global citizen. A new era is emerging. As AI (Artificial Intelligence) advances, the time of ‘Singularity’ is approaching, and the concept of business and the rules of the game will completely shift in all areas. We can recognize such changes by looking at the entire forest, rather than a single tree, the forest meaning an ecosystem where Hyosung lives together with stakeholders and finds the answers to prepare for the future. There has been a growing demand for information about ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) from stakeholders, investors, and customers. For the successful establishment of its ESG system, Hyosung operates a TFT at the group level. We address improvements, prioritize 04 tasks and monitor performance in a regular basis. Moreover, we are improving the risk system that requires extra focus and care such as safety and health risks from COVID-19. This year’s report focuses on Hyosung’s sustainability issues revealing its achievements based on the tasks it has proceeded. In particular, we have laid a firm foundation based on which Hyosung Corporation and its four operating companies can effectively disclose its system, strategy, process and performance related to ESG with each other after the spin-off. We will keep trying to Dear respected stakeholders, ensure differentiated sustainability by each business company, taking advantage of its unique I appreciate your interest in and support for industrial characteristics and strengths.

  • Chaebols and Firm Dynamics in Korea
    Chaebols and firm dynamics in Korea Philippe Aghion, Sergei Guriev, Kangchul Jo Abstract We study firm dynamics in Korea before and after the 1997-98 Asian crisis and pro-competitive reforms that reduced the dominance of chaebols. We find that in industries that were dominated by chaebols before the crisis, labor productivity and TFP of non-chaebol firms increased markedly after the reforms (relative to other industries). Furthermore, entry of non-chaebol firms increased significantly in all industries after the reform. Finally, after the crisis, non-chaebol firms also significantly increased their patenting activity (relative to non-chaebol firms). These results are in line with a neo-Schumpeterian view of transition from a growth model based on investment in existing technologies to an innovation-based model.

  • Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows Within Chaebol
    Business Groups and Tunneling: Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows within Chaebol Abstract This paper investigates the intragroup flows of brand royalties within large Korean business groups. We find that business group member firms pay a greater amount of brand royalties when the associated business groups adopt a holding company governance structure, consistent with the public allegation that chaebols tunnel wealth from member firms to holding companies that they directly control. However, member firms pay a smaller amount of brand royalties when their related party transactions (RPTs) are monitored, for example, when the firm is on (i) the watch list of an external watchdog agency for controlling shareholders’ unfair profit reaping from RPTs or when its board of directors internally operates (ii) a designated committee on RPTs or (iii) an audit committee. The results suggest that the alleged tunneling behavior of large business groups can be mitigated by external or internal monitoring on RPTs. Keywords: Brand royalty; Business group; Chaebol; Holding company; Related party transactions committee. Business Groups and Tunneling: Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows within Chaebol 1. Introduction Chaebol, which is a combination of two Korean words ‘chae’ (wealth) and ‘bol’ (clan or clique), is a form of corporate structure that is common in emerging economies such as Korea (Almeida, Kim, and Kim 2015; Chang and Hong 2002; Khanna and Palepu 1997, 2000; Khanna and Rivkin 2001). Chaebol member firms often pay a substantial amount of brand royalty fees to the group- brand name or trademark holder, who is either the holding company or the core/parent firm of the business group.
