JYP Entertainment (hereafter JYP) has achieved the remarkable feat of being ranked No. 1 globally as well as domestically for the second consecutive year in Time magazine’s selection of the ‘2026 World’s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth.’
On the 12th (local time), Time magazine and the German market analysis firm Statista officially announced the ‘2026 World’s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth.’
In this evaluation, JYP received high marks across various indicators such as growth rate, financial stability, and environmental impact, scoring 97.59 points. This result not only secured the top spot in Korea but also placed JYP first among 500 global companies, demonstrating its exceptional growth momentum.
Notably, last year JYP ranked No. 1 in Korea and No. 3 globally with a score of 93.66 in Time magazine’s ‘2025 World’s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth.’ By claiming the top global position this year, JYP has been recognized for its excellence in sustainable management for two consecutive years.
Statista commented, “The most obvious fact is that JYP excels in all evaluation categories. As with last year, JYP achieved outstanding results and the highest ranking.” The firm added, “While many companies may excel in one area but fall short in others, JYP is one of the few companies that demonstrates excellence in both financial and environmental performance.”
The ranking selects 500 global companies that maintain strong financial soundness and deliver outstanding performance in sustainable development. Time magazine and Statista determine the final rankings based on a 100-point scale, equally weighing revenue growth, financial stability, and environmental impact.

In 2022, JYP became the first entertainment company in Korea to publish a Sustainability Report documenting its efforts and activities in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), including the implementation of RE100 (Renewable Energy 100%), which replaced all of its electricity usage with renewable energy.
In June of this year, JYP published its fourth Sustainability Report. CEO Jimmy Jeong stated in the report, “Under the ESG vision of ‘Leader of Change,’ we will internalize the values of sustainability and diversity, actively respond to climate change, and contribute to creating a healthy global environment. Together with all stakeholders who support JYP, we will continue to lead positive change in the world.”
At the end of last year, JYP was the only entertainment company in Korea to receive the highest ‘AA’ rating in Sustinvest’s 2024 ESG Management Evaluation, proving its outstanding ESG management practices. In addition, JYP has consistently carried out various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities under the slogan ‘Every Dream Matters! (EDM),’ aiming to give back to society for the love and support received from fans and the public both domestically and internationally.
JYP continues to make a positive impact through social contribution projects such as the ‘EDM Medical Expense Support Project,’ which supports the dreams of pediatric patients, and ‘LOVE EARTH,’ which aims to create healthy soil for future generations.
