The 2025 Sustainability Report highlights Coway’s latest key achievements across three core pillars:   Environmental Management: Net Zero by 2050 · Expanding Renewable Energy : As part of its roadmap to achieve Net Zero by 2050, Coway completed its third on-site solar power plant (‘003’) with a capacity of 532 kWp on previously underutilized space at its Yugu Plant in South Korea.

This approach led to the development of the Smart Moving Faucet and its incorporation into the Icon Water Purifier 3, subsequently enhancing the Purifier’s hygiene and safety, and the Icon Ice Water Purifier Mini, thus providing the users with outstanding innovation in space efficiency and convenience. · Strengthening Information Security & Data Protection : Having always placed the protection of customer data as a top operational priority, Coway recently upgraded its global-level information security management system.

Coway's Water Sommeliers Established in 2019, Coway’s Water Taste Evaluation & Research Lab, located in the company’s Environmental Technology Research Institute (R&D Center) in Seoul, Korea, is home to a unique group of experts: nationally-certified water sommeliers. Coway is the only company in the industry operating a dedicated water taste research lab. Harnessing Science for Better Tasting Water Similar to their namesakes in the wine industry, water sommeliers are specialists able to evaluate the sensory qualities of water, ensuring that Coway’s water purifiers deliver water that is as enjoyable to drink as it is safe. By studying the factors that influence water quality and taste, they validate and enhance the drinking experience. This year, Coway certified 15 new water sommeliers, bringing the company’s total to 44 – the largest in the industry. Among them, 10 hold Advanced Level certifications, enabling them to lead training and education in water taste.   Coway’s Environmental Technology Research Institute (R&D Center) in Seoul, Korea Since the launch of the initiative in 2012, Coway has been expanding its water sommelier program in order to strengthen its research capabilities. The lab also pioneered the industry’s first proprietary water taste standard, the ‘GPT (Good Pure Tasty) Water Index.’ Today, water sommeliers play a central role in product development, assessing water taste and quality throughout filter design and testing processes. Their expertise ensures Coway is delivering to its customers water that is not only clean and safe, but that is also consistently pleasant across the company’s diverse range of markets.   Coway's Icon Water Purifier 2 (CP-7211N) Achieving International Certification and Recognition Beyond this taste expertise, Coway has also achieved international recognition for the water safety and performance of its products. Coway was the first in the industry to obtain global certification from the Water Quality Association (WQA), a recognized international certification body for water purifiers, back in 2008. Additionally, Coway’s filters have been certified by the WQA to a variety of leading industry standards, including NSF/ANSI 42 (aesthetic effects), 53 (health-related effects) and 58 (reverse osmosis systems). More than 80 of the company’s products carry the WQA’s Gold Seal Mark, a clear assurance of product quality, durability and safety. Setting the Global Benchmark for Water Expertise Moreover, Coway’s specialized overseas research & development (R&D) systems empower the company to develop custom products tailored to the specific requirements of each country it operates in. By collecting and analyzing water samples the world over, Coway has developed its proprietary “Water Map”, a database containing findings from approximately 2,700 water sources in 41 countries. This extensive catalog of samples allows Coway to deliver optimal and localized products and services that align with each region’s unique water characteristics. With the industry’s largest team of certified water sommeliers, advanced R&D capabilities and internationally-certified products, Coway continues to set the benchmark for water expertise. Coway’s mission is simple yet powerful: to deliver water that is safer, cleaner and consistently better-tasting, every single day.
