YG Group Marks New Sustainability Progress with SBTi and TfS

YG Group has reached two important sustainability milestones. The company’s near-term greenhouse gas reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). At the same time, Jiangxi Zhenguan New Materials Co., Ltd. has successfully completed the TfS (Together for Sustainability) global sustainability assessment. Together, these milestones show stronger progress in climate action, responsible supply chain management, and long-term sustainable development.

A Clearer Sustainability Direction

Sustainability is becoming a more structured part of YG Group’s long-term strategy. The company is aligning its development with international standards and turning broad commitments into measurable action.

These recent milestones reflect that direction. SBTi strengthens the company’s climate roadmap. TfS strengthens its supply chain sustainability foundation. Together, they show a more systematic approach to responsible growth.

SBTi Validation Supports YG Group’s Climate Roadmap

In 2025, YG Group formally committed to setting greenhouse gas reduction targets in line with climate science. Using 2024 as the base year, the company has committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 58.8% by 2034. It has also committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 35% over the same period. These targets cover emissions from both operations and the wider value chain.

This validation shows that YG Group’s low-carbon transition plan is aligned with recognized scientific standards. It also shows the company’s commitment to taking real action on climate issues as a global adhesive solutions provider.

A Lifecycle-Based Carbon Reduction Approach

To support these targets, YG Group has built a carbon reduction approach that covers raw material sourcing, low-carbon manufacturing, and value chain collaboration. The company is advancing this work through environmental compliance management, green supply chain development, process optimization, and energy efficiency improvement. These efforts help reduce both direct and indirect emissions across the value chain.

This is also closely linked to YG Group’s wider product and manufacturing system, including Industrial Adhesive Solutions, Packaging Tape Solutions, and Protection Film Solutions.

TfS Strengthens Supply Chain Sustainability

Alongside its climate goals, YG Group is also improving sustainability management across its supply chain. Jiangxi Zhenguan New Materials Co., Ltd. recently completed the TfS global sustainability assessment after a rigorous third-party review. The result showed solid performance in management systems, environmental compliance, occupational health and safety, labor and human rights, and corporate governance.

This achievement strengthens the company’s foundation for long-term cooperation with key customers. It also shows stronger capability in sustainable and compliant operations.

Why TfS Matters

TfS, or Together for Sustainability, is a recognized sustainability assessment framework used in the chemical and new materials sectors. It focuses on environmental, social, and governance performance across the supply chain. It has become an important benchmark for responsible procurement and supplier management.

For YG Group, completing the TfS assessment is not only about meeting customer expectations. It is also a practical step toward benchmarking against international standards, improving internal systems, and supporting greener development.

Cross-Department Execution Made the Assessment Possible

To prepare for the TfS assessment, the company formed a dedicated team led by the quality department. Production, warehousing, human resources, and other functions worked together to support the process. The team reviewed procurement, production, and storage workflows, checked for gaps, improved documentation, and strengthened on-site control standards. This helped ensure that the full audit process was efficient, rigorous, and compliant.

This milestone is not only a recognition of current management performance. It is also an important step in YG Group’s integration into the global sustainable supply chain system.

Why SBTi and TfS Matter Together

These two milestones reflect two key parts of sustainability.

SBTi shows YG Group’s progress in science-based climate action.
TfS shows progress in responsible supply chain and ESG management.

Together, they show that YG Group is building sustainability through both long-term targets and practical management systems.

Looking Ahead

YG Group will continue to align with global sustainability standards, improve management systems, strengthen compliance control, and invest in greener innovation. The company will also continue to deepen its role in the environmentally responsible materials sector and support long-term value creation for customers and partners.

Sustainability is a long-term journey. For YG Group, these milestones are important progress points. They also mark a deeper commitment to responsible growth in the years ahead.
