JYP Entertainment (hereinafter JYP) received an "AA" in the 2026 MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) ESG assessment.
Recently, JYP was ranked in the top 26.8% among 211 evaluated corporations within the media and entertainment industry and received an AA rating in the 2026 ESG assessment conducted by global investment information provider MSCI.
MSCI has, since 1999, annually evaluated listed corporations worldwide on nonfinancial factors—environmental, social and governance—and assigns ratings across seven levels from CCC to AAA. The AA that JYP received is classified as a leader rating at the highest level alongside AAA.
In particular, JYP was upgraded from A last year to AA this year. The reason for the upgrade was the improvement in corporate governance, with enhanced board independence and oversight functions contributing significantly to increased management efficiency. In addition, a rise in the E (environment) score due to energy consumption management and improved operational efficiency also had an effect.
Under the ESG vision "Leader of Change," JYP continues active ESG management. After issuing a sustainability report in 2022—the first among domestic entertainment companies to document ESG efforts and activities—it has published sustainability reports for four consecutive years through 2025, playing a leading role in creating a sustainable future.
Meanwhile, in November last year JYP was ranked No. 1 in the world in Time magazine's "World's Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2026," receiving high evaluations across indicators such as growth rate, financial stability and environmental impact, thereby being recognized for its excellence in sustainable management as it ranked first in Korea for two consecutive years and first in the world.
