The calculation of Hyundai’s Sustainable Value is limited to the company’s South Korean production facilities. No consolidated financial data are available for the years 1999 and 2000, so the analysis provided in this study is limited to the period 2001-2005. All nine resource indicators are used in this period. The figure below shows the value contributions of the resources considered as well as the Sustainable Value and Sustainable Value Margin of Hyundai for the period 2001-2005.
Value contributions, Sustainable Value and Sustainable Value Margin of Hyundai
Hyundai achieves a positive Sustainable Value in all of the five years considered. One interesting point, however, is that the manufacturer starts off well, but suffers a gradual deterioration in eight of the nine indicators examined over the period 2001-2004. The value contribution only improves temporarily in the case of VOC emissions, in 2004. This general decline in the years 2001 to 2004 is attributable to a profit slump during that period. In 2005 value contributions from all resources studied slightly improved again.
Despite the temporary decline in performance, Hyundai achieves consistently positive value contributions from virtually all the resources. Only in the case of VOC emissions (2002-2005), water consumption (2004) and number of work accidents (2004) does Hyundai dip below the benchmark and thus produce negative value contributions. The company’s absolute Sustainable Value drops from 1.76 billion € (2001) to 302 million € (2004), and recovers again towards the end of the review period to 772 million €. Hyundai’s Sustainable Value Margin subsequently drops from 5.17% (2001) to 0.82% (2004), and then rebounds to 1.73% (2005). Hyundai finishes consistently in the top of the Sustainable Value Margin rankings. The only exception is 2004, when it came 9th in a field of 16 manufacturers.
