K-pop powerhouse JYP Entertainment topped Time Magazine's World's Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2026 list.

On to the annual ranking of the world's top 500 companies announced by TIME and German market analytics firm Statista, JYP Entertainment scored the highest 97-point-59 out of 100 points.

The K-pop management agency ranked the highest among South Korean businesses for the second year in a row.

The annual list selects companies that demonstrate outstanding performance in sustainable development while maintaining strong financial health, with a focus on their revenue growth, economic stability and environmental impact.

Statista said the South Korean firm is one of a few companies that have demonstrated excellence in both financial and environmental performance.

In last year's sustainability report, JYP Entertainment said it monitors energy use, efficiency and waste to foster a sustainable concert culture and that it uses environmentally friendly materials and packaging for its merchandise.
