Beyond Paper Checks: Hyundai Motor's Supply Chain ESG Moves to On-Site Verification at Mines and Smelters
Hyundai Motor conducted ESG written assessments for 2,086 suppliers and on-site audits for 25 suppliers in 2025, while 25 suppliers with potential regulatory violations completed corrective action plans. Independent third-party RCS Global audited 3 mines and smelters in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia, identifying 58 non-conformities (47 major, 11 minor), with corrective actions currently underway. Legal experts generally view the EU Omnibus Directive, which took effect in March 2026, as clarifying risk-based due diligence rather than simply reducing audit volume. Through a mutual growth agreement signed with the Korea Fair Trade Commission in July, primary suppliers are paid within an average of 10 days post-closing instead of the statutory 60 days, while tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers are supported through training, incentives, and shared growth payments (benefiting an estimated 5,500+ companies). Despite achievements such as achieving RE100 across all operations in Europe, North America, and India, expanding the depth of in-depth audits and securing visibility into tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers remain future tasks.

A Turning Point Demonstrated by the Assessment of 2,086 Suppliers The Reality of Hyundai Motor's Supply Chain ESG Innovation Seen Through the 2026 Sustainability Report and July Mutual Growth Agreement — Examining the Response Strategy of South Korea's Representative Automaker in the Era of 'Risk-Based Due Diligence' Following the Implementation of the EU Omnibus Directive As global supply chain ESG regulations entered a dual phase of 'easing and refinement' in 2026, Hyundai Motor's supply chain management strategy has passed a distinct inflection point. Published on June 30, the '2026 Hyundai Motor Sustainability Report (based on FY2025)' and the group-level mutual growth agreement signed with the Korea Fair Trade Commission on July 7 serve as two pillars demonstrating that Hyundai Motor's supply chain ESG has progressed from document-centric management to an execution phase reaching do…
