On August 25, 2023, S&P Global, an independent rating agency, assigned KEGOC an ESG rating of S&P Global CSA Score 2023* at 51/100.

The S&P Global CSA Score 2023 (Corporate Sustainability Assessment) is the rating agency's assessment of the Company's performance in three key sustainability segments: Environment (E), Society (S), and Corporate Governance (G), each of which is evaluated based on its importance to the relevant sub-sector. Each of these three metrics gives a more detailed assessment of the Company's performance on ESG problems in comparison to its rivals.

The ratings' outcomes are most essential to investors when making investment selections. Investors feel that firms that adhere to ESG principles are more likely to succeed in the long run because they are better positioned to reduce risks and capitalise on new possibilities. Receiving an ESG grade helps the company to compare its success in adopting ESG aspects to other organisations in a comparable sector and discover opportunities for development.

S&P Global's ESG grade underlines KEGOC's commitment to environmental, social, and governance sustainability and recognises its contribution to a more sustainable future.
