On the 5th, Daewoo E&C CEO Kim Bo-hyeon emphasized in a New Year's address that "safety is a lifeline that can never be compromised," and asked the entire company to focus its capabilities on creating safe worksites.

Kim stated accordingly at a kickoff ceremony for 2026 held at the headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the same day. The ceremony was attended by executives and employees, including CEO Kim, and 42 new hires who joined this year.

Welcoming the new hires, Kim said, "Let's bring together the bold spirit of the red horse embodied by our new employees and the experience of veteran staff to make this a year of a different level of leap forward."

That day, Kim shared the achievements of the past year and expressed gratitude for the efforts of executives and employees. Daewoo E&C supplied 18,834 dwellings in 2025, achieving the No. 1 ranking in housing supply performance for a second consecutive year. It also recorded achievements such as pioneering the Central Asian market through the contract and groundbreaking for a mineral fertilizer plant in Turkmenistan and the full-scale execution of the Czech nuclear power project.

In addition, Daewoo E&C presented "Challenge for the future, Hyper E&C" as its 2026 management policy to respond to paradigm shifts in the construction industry and declared three key tasks.

Specifically, it plans to respond to the future by creating value on a different level through: ▲ "Hyper Safety," which fundamentally blocks the possibility of accidents with a proactive prevention system based on smart technology ▲ "Hyper Quality," which delivers customer delight with overwhelming construction quality and meticulous finishes ▲ "Hyper Connect," which organically links worksites and headquarters, technology and people, through digital transformation (DX) centered on BIM and AI.
