JYP Entertainment Ranked No. 1 in Korea and No. 3 Globally in the World's Best Sustainable Growth Companies 2025

JYP Entertainment (JYP) has demonstrated its global management leadership by ranking third in the world and first in Korea on TIME magazine's "World's Best Sustainable Growth Companies 2025" list.

On Nov. 27 (local time), TIME and German market analytics company Statista released the World's Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025 rankings. JYP was the only Asian company to make the top 10 with a score of 93.66 in the Technology, Media & Services category. The company was recognized for both its sustainable growth and financial stability, most notably as the only Korean company to rank first.

The rankings are based on a composite score of 500 companies from around the world, evaluating sustainability-related metrics such as revenue growth, financial stability, and environmental impact. "JYP's performance was evenly distributed across all categories, including revenue growth, financial stability, and green energy use," said Statista, "and it demonstrated excellent environmental management, ranking in the top 5% of companies by carbon emissions."

JYP has continued to lead the way in sustainability. In 2023, JYP earned the highest rating of 'AA' among Korean K-pop entertainment companies in the MSCI ESG ratings, and in 2022, it became the first Korean entertainment company to publish a sustainability report, systematically documenting its ESG management vision and performance. In June of this year, the company released its third sustainability report, disclosing the results of its 'Double Materiality' assessment, which analyzes the impact of corporate activities on the environment and society, further demonstrating its advanced ESG management.

JYP is also focusing on strengthening human rights management and health and safety. "JYP is committed to creating a sustainable world with all of our stakeholders, including artists, trainees, employees, fans, and partners," said Jung Wook, CEO of JYP, "and this report captures our efforts and achievements."

JYP is also actively engaged in a variety of social contribution programs to give back to society. Through its EDM (Every Dream Matters!) project, the company supports children's dreams and healthy lives by providing medical treatment, volunteer activities, and environmental protection campaigns.

In particular, the JYP Basketball Tournament, an amateur charity basketball tournament that began on Nov. 30, will donate all participation fees and additional donations to Samsung Medical Center for the treatment of vulnerable children. Through the tournament, JYP said it will "continue to contribute to creating positive change in society."

JYP plans to continue to set new standards for K-pop entertainment in the global market based on sustainability and social responsibility.
