– Official TCG verification completed for the transition to renewable energy across all global business sites
– Achieved a phased transition through diverse measures, including PPAs and on-site power generation, guided by its environmental management philosophy
– Published the “2025 Amorepacific Holdings Sustainability Report,” highlighting the company’s climate action achievements
Amorepacific has received official verification from The Climate Group, which administers the global renewable energy initiative RE100, for its transition to renewable electricity across all global business sites. Following its entry into RE100 in 2021 as the first company in Korea’s beauty industry to join the initiative, Amorepacific has now been officially recognized for achieving RE100 in 2025.
Amorepacific steadily increased the share of renewable electricity used across the company from approximately 5% in 2020, completing its company-wide transition to renewable electricity in 2025. This achievement goes beyond fulfilling a voluntary commitment and reflects the company’s continued efforts to pursue sustainable growth in harmony with the planet. Even in the early stages, when the conditions for procuring renewable energy were not yet fully established, Amorepacific led Korea’s renewable energy market by entering into Direct Power Purchase Agreements (Direct PPAs) and Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs). The company also made large-scale investments to actively utilize unused areas across its business sites, expanding its on-site solar power capacity from 196 kW in 2011 to approximately 7,145 kW today.
Amorepacific’s climate management achievements are also extending throughout its supply chain. In a recent assessment by CDP, a global environmental disclosure organization, Amorepacific received the highest rating of A not only for climate change response and water security, but also in the Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA). This recognition reflects the company’s efforts to establish a foundation for reducing greenhouse gas emissions with its key business partners and strengthen its climate response system.
Commenting on Amorepacific’s official RE100 verification, Oliver Wilson, Head of RE100 at The Climate Group, said, “Since joining RE100 in 2021, Amorepacific has made steady progress toward sourcing 100% renewable electricity and achieved meaningful results. This achievement demonstrates that renewable energy is central to the energy system of the future. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with Amorepacific to expand renewable energy and advance the sustainable transition in Korea.” Soon-Chul Kwon, Head of the Safety and Environment Division at Amorepacific, said, “Achieving RE100 is not the end, but a new starting point. We will continue to expand renewable energy procurement methods with greater additionality, reduce carbon emissions throughout our supply chain together with our business partners, and lead the way in sustainable management.”
Meanwhile, Amorepacific’s sustainability achievements, including its RE100 performance, are detailed in the “2025 Amorepacific Holdings Sustainability Report,” available on the Amorepacific corporate website (www.apgroup.com).
