As human civilization has been evolved along with advancement of steel, the path that POSCO has followed is closely related to history of development of the Korean economy. POSCO was established in 1968 without sufficient capital, advanced technology and accumulated experiences before emerging as a world-renowned steel maker. Dow Jones, the world’s largest financial information provider, and SAM, a global asset management company,

that conducted sustainable evaluation on 2,500 companies in the world selected POSCO as an excellent business in the steel sector making the company a global sustainability leader for three years in a row. POSCO will grow into a representative sustainable management company that achieves balance and harmony on the back of sound environment and social responsibilities without being preoccupied with high profitability.
