HYOSUNG TNC

As numerous brands across various industries, one-sided traditional communication methods have become increasingly difficult to leave a lasting impression on consumers. Staying memorable to consumers requires a two-way communication approach that fosters a sense of connection. The use of character marketing has become increasingly popular among companies as a means of achieving this goal. *Character Marketing Character marketing refers to using existing or newly created characters to establish a company's brand image or promote its trademarks and products. While character marketing was previously limited to specific industries targeting children, it is now utilized in various sectors such as beauty, fashion, and food. Character marketing is implemented in diverse ways, including incorporating characters into existing product packaging, developing new products based on characters, or creating webtoons (online comics) featuring characters. Character marketing is utilized by many companies since it can cultivate a sense of familiarity with consumers. The stories and designs possessed by characters can create a shared understanding with consumers, making it useful for friendly communication. Moreover, active communication through character marketing can even increasing brand loyalty from consumers. Character marketing with a solid story is becoming increasingly popular, with companies creating a well-developed universe with cute and humorous characters. It is because the MZ generation, which has become a key consumer group for companies, values detailed brand stories. It can deliver the brand image without resisting the MZ generation if the company's values are incorporated into the story instead of the company name. In other words, the company's story can be told through interesting stories featuring cute characters to successfully raise awareness and favorability. Hyosung also started character marketing to communicate with consumers. We have built new characters and a worldview to deliver Hyosung's ESG brand RE:GEN's vision, mission, and value to consumers in an easier and more friendly way. HYOsung Researcher, Where Are You From? In 3033, the Earth looks drastically different from what it does today. Because of indiscriminate waste disposal, environmental pollution, and resource depletion, many species once inhabiting the planet have gone extinct. As the ice has melted, the lush and verdant nature once taken for granted has also disappeared. The only thing left on Earth in 3033 is gray buildings and factories. In our universe, there is a star called HYOsung (‘sung’: 星, which means star) that resembles Earth before it became desolate. HYOsung is a planet that is rich in resources, similar to the lush Earth of the past. HYOsung's R&D center in ANYANG has researchers named HYOGEN, HYOZERO, HYONERGY, and HYOMA. They are studying the RE:GEN project to restore the ruined Earth to its original state, ensuring that all generations living on Earth can thrive. To directly implement their research findings, they were dispatched to Earth in 2023, transcending space and time. A team of HYOsung researchers is determined to keep 2023's green Earth from becoming a wasteland, so that the devastating event of 3033 won't happen again. The researchers from the planet HYOsung who arrived on Earth disguised themselves as employees of the company 'Hyosung’, which shares the same name as their planet. While working at the company, they carry out a project called 'RE:GEN (Reply to Every Generation's Future)' for the future of Earth. The 'RE:GEN' project is based on research papers conducted on the HYOsung planet, focusing on topics such as 'circular economy', 'carbon neutrality', 'hydrogen and renewable energy', and 'smart reduction'. It aims to integrate these concepts into real business practices and promote ESG activities. This project has a specific mission to 'respond to the demands of every generation on Earth' and 'spread actions for the future of all generations'. Four researchers work together on the 'RE:GEN' project and collaborate on various ESG campaigns within the sustainable business's brand marketing team. During the day, they work in Hyosung's brand marketing team, raising awareness about Hyosung's ESG technologies and values to a wide audience. At night, they continue their research under the name HYOsung, contemplating the planet’s future and humanity. Study Field of HYOsung researchers HYOGEN, the character that studies the "circular economy," has the ability to detect plastic when wearing goggles and turn plastic into a regen product by pressing the recycling button on the bag that collects and carries the found plastic. HYOGEN investigates how products from the Hyosung Group, which aims for ZERO-Waste and builds an ecosystem, impact people's daily lives. In the process, they discover various eco-friendly fiber products such as "regen Polyester," "regen Spandex," and "regen Nylon" from Hyosung TNC. They also learn about the upcycling of airbags and eco-friendly tire codes from Hyosung Advanced Materials, as well as eco-friendly polyketone POKETONE, a plastic alternative from Hyosung Chemical. HYOZERO, the character who studies 'carbon neutrality,' has a radar that can detect carbon levels above one's head. It detects severe carbon emissions and alerts individuals who contribute to pollution. HYOZERO researches the technology and implementation capabilities of the Hyosung Group, aiming for Net-Zero by minimizing carbon emissions in production processes and all products. Additionally, it examines how effectively each Hyosung Group business unit implements carbon neutrality. HYOZERO has discovered that Hyosung TNC is making numerous efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, including measuring the carbon footprint of products, transitioning to low-carbon energy, replacing high-efficiency facilities, and supplying high-efficiency energy products and solutions. HYOZERO also learned about Hyosung Heavy Industries’ activities, including establishing climate change response organizations and strategies and winning contracts for the first domestic renewable energy transmission and distribution system. Additionally, it checked that Hyosung Advanced Materials has also established climate change response organizations and has made efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve energy, and obtain carbon labeling certification, resulting in achieving an A grade in CDP and achieving the Carbon Management Honors Club. Lastly, HYOZERO witnessed the efforts of Hyosung Chemical in building climate change response systems, as well as energy saving, greenhouse gas reduction, and expanding the use of renewable energy. HYONERGY, a character that researching "hydrogen and renewable energy," illuminates its tail when it detects energy-wasting behavior. Through its lightning bolt symbol, it has the power to stop unnecessary energy consumption and convert it into usable hydrogen or renewable energy sources. HYONERGY studies Hyosung Group, which is dedicated to exploring renewable energy for the future of our planet. HYONERGY examines the entire value chain, including materials, components, operation techniques, and distribution systems, to commercialize and improve the efficiency of hydrogen and renewable energy. Hyosung Heavy Industries has led the domestic hydrogen economy expansion, while Hyosung TNC was the first Korean company to utilize nylon as a hydrogen fuel tank liner material. Additionally, Hyosung Advanced Materials developed hydrogen fuel tanks using their proprietary carbon fiber technology. Through these endeavors, HYONERGY acknowledges that Hyosung Group's accumulated expertise and technological capabilities in the hydrogen and energy sectors form the foundation for building a value chain centered around liquid hydrogen. By holding its star in hand, HYOMA, the character who studies "Smart Reduction," can absorb energy. HYOMA absorbs the wasted electricity by its hand as soon as it witnesses the wasted energy. By utilizing an encyclopedia containing the environmental protection data from the future, HYOMA offers people the most valuable resources. HYOMA investigates whether design technology that minimizes energy consumption and resource consumption is incorporated into every step of production and operation within the Hyosung Group. Additionally, it witnessed that the Hyosung Group is developing solutions to minimize energy and resource usage. Hyosung TNC, Hyosung Advanced Materials, Hyosung Heavy Industries, Hyosung Chemical, and Hyosung ITX have implemented solutions such as transitioning to smart factories, the "C-Cube Project" for digitizing and managing information collected on-site, and adopting a paperless culture. By using adorable designs and a robust worldview, Hyosung effectively conveys the mission and values of the ESG brand RE:GEN. Using the RE:GEN characters to conduct various environmental research activities, Hyosung introduces the company's diverse ESG initiatives in the context of the future state of the planet Earth. It aims to make its efforts for environmental protection easily accessible and relatable to consumers through RE:GEN character marketing. HYOGEN, HYOZERO, HYONERGY, and HYOMA will continue their research until the Earth is free of environmental pollution and becomes brighter for future generations. Keep an eye on our four researchers' activities from HYOsung. ▶ Watch the stories of HYOsung Researchers: linked to animation and Instatoon

Communicating with the public through Hyosung's RE:GEN branding Since 2004, when the term "ESG" was first coined and formally recognized by the international community, including the United Nations, Hyosung has been at the forefront of sustainable practices. Even before the concept of sustainable development and ESG management gained widespread acceptance, Hyosung took the initiative to develop polyester yarn from recycled plastic bottles, becoming the first company in Korea to do so in 2008. Hyosung Group has long been committed to environmental stewardship, corporate social responsibility, and win-win management. Rather than treating ESG management as a separate activity from its core business, the company views it as a driving force for innovation and a means to differentiate itself in the market. ESG management has been integrated throughout the group, with a specific goal to "‘Reply to Every Generation" through its ESG brand, RE:GEN, which emphasizes practical ESG management and social performance. RE:GEN, initially launched as an eco-friendly textile brand, has evolved to become Hyosung's identity as a premium global brand. It represents the company's comprehensive management approach that constantly innovates and strives to meet the sustainability needs of all generations, present and future. At Hyosung, RE:GEN represents a collective effort across the group to combine environmental, social, and governance improvements with practical technologies, creating a virtuous cycle for both society and the company. Each Hyosung affiliate has its own unique theme within the RE:GEN framework: RE:GEN NEW ENERGY (Hyosung Heavy Industries), RE:GEN SMART IT (Hyosung TNS), RE:GEN ECO LIFESTYLE (Hyosung TNC), RE:GEN FUTURE MATERIALS (Hyosung Advanced Materials), and RE:GEN NEXT CHEMISTRY (Hyosung Chemical). By applying these themes, RE:GEN strives for substantial ESG management with core values centered around RECYCLE, UPCYCLE, ZERO & NEW ENERGY, and SAVE, aiming to achieve authentic and impactful ESG practices. Collaboration through Hyosung RE:GEN Alliance Hyosung is committed to implementing tangible and genuine ESG management across its various affiliate companies. As part of this commitment, Hyosung Group operates the ESG brand RE:GEN and is dedicated to fostering a sustainable future and building a transparent and ethical society through the practice of ESG management. Recognizing the limitations of creating social impact alone, Hyosung has established the RE:GEN Alliance—an invaluable partnership and meaningful collaboration aimed at sharing ESG management practices, driving awareness and initiating positive change throughout society. The RE:GEN Alliance, in collaboration with Hyosung Group, is committed to generating social impact through ESG management, guided by core values that include cooperation for a better future, responsibility towards all generations, resource sharing for the greater good, and a drive to achieve tangible results through concrete ESG practices. Hyosung works closely with alliance partners including HARLIE K, 119Reo, Luca Lab, Axoo, LAR, Montsenu, OWNU, Continew, EGS, Understand Avenue, and Trashbusters. Hyosung remains dedicated to addressing the diverse environmental and social challenges we face and believes in meaningful collaboration with its alliance partners to create a brighter tomorrow and a better future that cannot be achieved alone. Through the previous Some Sevit ESG Color Festival and the Hyosung TANSOME X Make Your Color music concert, Hyosung took the opportunity to introduce its materials, showcase their diverse applications and boundless possibilities, and raise awareness of Hyosung's ESG activities, including the circular economy initiatives pursued by RE:GEN, Hyosung's ESG brand. The Hyosung Advanced Materials Art Competition and Pop-Up Store this year follow the same path, presenting Hyosung's commitment to the environment and the core ESG values we uphold. We aim to ensure that Hyosung's technological expertise, acknowledged in B2B settings, is accessible to the general public. Hyosung seeks various means to engage with the public and inform them about our endeavors and the development of technologies the company undertakes for the planet. It eagerly anticipates various opportunities to connect with the public, allowing them to understand how Hyosung's eco-friendly materials are utilized and incorporated to safeguard the Earth.

The artist Vincent van Gogh said, "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." Hyosung constantly invest in R&D to create a better future and a sustainable tomorrow while striving for ethical management through environmental protection and social contribution. Having partners who share our vision, are dedicated to ongoing collaboration, and are dedicated to achieving our shared goals will enable us to make a greater impact and reach further in the future. Hyosung has partnered with valuable group of allies and partners called the RE:GEN Alliance, which shares the same vision and committed to walking together toward a future. Hyosung encourages the growth of RE:GEN Alliance partners to create tomorrow for the next generation and has prepared various ways to coexist. Today, Hyosung will present how to pave the way for a better future with its partners. The Beginning of Mutual Growth, Win-Win Partnership Fund for Rural Areas and Small Businesses The Rural Community Win-Win Partnership Fund were created to promote farm and fishing villages development. They encourage collaboration among large, small, and medium-sized agriculture and fisheries enterprises to drive progress toward a better future for Korea by creating shared value. The Rural Community Win-Win Partnership Fund was launched to enhance the competitiveness of farmers and fishermen and to strengthen the mutual growth infrastructure between large companies and SMEs. Win-win cooperation funds are used in rural areas to encourage private investment in pending issues that cannot be resolved by public investment alone and to present new growth solutions. By providing opportunities for farming and fishing villages, we offer opportunities to do business and new business opportunities by suggesting business directions or items and support for systematic social contribution activities. Helping companies create business opportunities, expand, and pave the way for sustainable growth is all the more meaningful than just supporting economic investment. Hyosung's Contribution to Win-win Partnership Fund for Rural Areas and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises To strengthen ESG management and grow together with farming and fishing villages and small and medium-sized enterprises, Hyosung recently donated the Win-win Cooperation Funds to large, small, and medium-sized enterprises and the Agricultural and Fishery Cooperation Foundation. Hyosung Co., Ltd., Hyosung TNC, Hyosung Heavy Industries, Hyosung Advanced Materials, and Hyosung Chemical Co., Ltd. KRW 4.5 billion was donated for win-win cooperation between farmers and fishermen, and KRW 5.5 billion was donated for win-win cooperation between small and medium-sized businesses. Hyosung has invested in Rural Community Win-Win Fund so that eco-friendly technology-applied products can be provided, including the production of products using Hyosung TNC's eco-friendly yarn regen and agricultural product dryers made of carbon fiber TANSOME®, which is a high-efficiency heating element of Hyosung Advanced Materials, in farming and fishing villages, along with the conservation of marine biodiversity.

As part of its commitment, Hyosung will support enhancing competitiveness, stabilizing management, and exploring coexistence possibilities with partner companies and farming and fishing villages. By participating in the public-private partnership fund, Hyosung also pledges to strengthen its carbon neutrality and ESG management capabilities, which are increasingly important at the global level. A Meaningful Cooperation for the Environment, RE:GEN ALLIANCE Hyosung believes that by supporting SMEs that will achieve the meaning and value of Hyosung's ESG brand RE:GEN together with the support of the SME win-win fund, we can achieve great achievements that will grow together and create a sustainable future and a better future. Hyosung is proclaiming and operating the ESG brand RE:GEN, promising ESG activities to create a planet for all generations. Hyosung's RE:GEN aims to improve the environment of the planet and realize a sustainable future through ESG activities by adding Hyosung's technological capabilities centering on core values such as circular economy, carbon neutrality, renewable energy and smart reduction. However, we recognized that there are limitations solely due to Hyosung's own activities, and together we will form RE:GEN Alliance with SMEs to understand the value of RE:GEN, realize carbon neutrality, change society and create an innovative and transparent management culture. We will start a meaningful accompaniment to integrate our practices and changes of many SMEs who have become members of the RE:GEN ALLIANCE to create an overall wave of society. Hyosung will strive to become an ESG alliance that supports our partners to increase their competitiveness, achieves small growth in succession with companies that share RE:GEN's will and vision, and achieves a sustainable future and social achievement. Accompanying the All Species, RE:GEN GUARDIAN Hyosung intends to use the Rural Community Win-Win Fund to preserve the safe living of various creatures on the planet, especially marine life. In addition to supporting the circular economy, carbon neutrality, new energy, and resource reduction practices, Hyosung prepares a habitat for various creatures to live and protects the disappearing species. One of the projects is the Marine Forest Management Project, which has been carrying out a range of sustained and diverse activities such as restoring marine protected creatures, wetland purification activities, creating resting areas, monitoring habitat environments, and collecting abandoned fishing gear. Having started a marine forest management project in 2022 to protect marine protected habitats, Hyosung is committed to restoring and protecting biodiversity and ecosystems. Hyosung Co., Ltd., Hyosung T & C Co., and Hyosung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd expanded the marine forest management project to include all group companies from 2023. Since then, Hyosung has expanded its awareness of the right of all species to survive, the awareness of responsibility for improving the environment of all species, the value of coexistence that the survival of all species is the survival of human beings and bold initiatives for improvement through practice. A new initiative, the RE:GEN GUARDIAN, was launched to accompany all species. Hyosung Group is dedicated to creating a sustainable planet and making a better tomorrow, and we work to improve our society’s environment. Practicing ethical management, protecting the environment, and contributing to society are always challenging for an organization. Recognizing that social performance cannot be created solely by oneself, Hyosung seeks meaningful companionship and moves forward. Hyosung is looking forward to creating synergies in ESG management by partnering with companies that share true values and a desire to realize those values. RE:GEN GUARDIAN project will continue to protect the planet’s well-being, the conservation of ecosystems, and the rights of all living beings. Hyosung has taken the first steps to protect life, protect the planet, and protect the lives of all generations who will live on Earth. We aspire to walk that path with our RE:GEN ALLINACE partners. To preserve the precious lives of this land and its natural heritage for future generations, keep in touch with Hyosung's meaningful companion. We will unite Hyosung's current practices for a magnificent future and a brilliant tomorrow.
