Hyundai Card Becomes First in Asia to Achieve UL Solutions Healthy Building Verifications for Cultural and Leisure Facilities
NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UL Solutions (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, today announced that four properties operated by Hyundai Card, a leading South Korean credit card company and a subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Group, have become the first cultural and leisure buildings in Asia to receive UL Verified Healthy Building Marks, demonstrating a commitment to creating healthier and more sustainable indoor environments for employees and guests. The unique Hyundai Card structures, all located in Seoul, that received Healthy Building verifications from UL Solutions include the Cooking Library, which contains thousands of cookbooks, multiple restaurants and spaces for cooking classes; the Music Library, home to a vast collection of music and publications, a concert venue and music studio; Vinyl & Plastic, containing over 10,000 vinyl records from around the world; and Iron & Wood, a high-tech training facility for golf enthusiasts. 'Operating cultural and leisure facilities inside healthy buildings that prioritize the well-being of both visitors and staff helps foster a positive atmosphere while enhancing learning and enjoyment,' said Sean McCrady, vice president and general manager of the Enterprise Sustainability group at UL Solutions. 'Hyundai Card's achievement as the first in Asia to earn UL Verified Healthy Building Marks for its cultural and leisure properties demonstrates a clear commitment to the health and comfort of guests and employees. We at UL Solutions value their trust in our work to help them realize this important milestone.' UL Solutions developed the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark to meet the growing demand for healthier indoor spaces. The program helps communicate a positive message, differentiating indoor spaces with verified occupant health and well-being marketing claims. By addressing the unique challenges of indoor environments, the verification program promotes continual improvement and provides visibility into potential challenges, allowing early mitigation through practical solutions. For Hyundai Card facilities to earn a UL Verified Healthy Building Mark, UL Solutions assessed them against rigorous evaluation, testing and analysis methodologies by industry-recognized, third-party organizations, such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), World Health Organization (WHO) and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Both the Music Library and Vinyl & Plastic received the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark for Indoor Air and Water, which verifies the buildings for indoor air quality (IAQ) and water quality. To earn this achievement, the two buildings underwent an evaluation of their heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and were also assessed for waterborne pathogens and contaminants to help verify water quality. The Cooking Library and Iron & Wood both achieved the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark for Indoor Environment. The most holistic look at a building's indoor environment within the UL Solutions Verified Healthy Building program, the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark for Indoor Environment conveys these buildings have achieved performance in five critical areas of assessment, including air, water, hygiene, light and acoustics. 'The UL Healthy Building Verifications at four of our iconic Hyundai Card facilities underscore our commitment to health and safety and help build confidence and trust among our employees and our guests who visit these buildings for world-class music, food and leisure experiences,' said a Hyundai Card representative. 'We are excited to have worked with UL Solutions to help us demonstrate how we have actively addressed potential indoor environment risks to help improve overall health.' As part of this proactive effort, UL Solutions also conducted evaluations in three office buildings at Hyundai Card's headquarters in Seoul and confirmed the indoor air quality of these spaces for employees.
