Hyundai Motor America has been recognized with three prestigious awards at the 2025 Ragan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Awards. The honors, awarded in the categories of CSR or ESG Initiative, Public Health or Safety Initiative, and Community Relations, underscore the company’s commitment to societal impact and community well-being across the United States.
According to Jadeh Makhsoos News Agency, the company’s Child Passenger and Pedestrian Safety Initiative was a dual winner, securing awards for ‘CSR Initiatives’ and ‘Public Health or Safety Initiative.’ This program, a key part of Hyundai Hope, collaborates with leading hospitals and safety experts to educate families on proper car seat installation and promote road safety to prevent child injuries.
“Hyundai is committed to providing automotive safety education and awareness to the communities in which we work and those that need additional resources to make a direct impact on child passenger and pedestrian safety,” said Brian Latouf, president and global chief safety and quality officer, Hyundai Motor Group. “We value and appreciate the honorable recognition by Ragan Communications and are committed to doing our part in keeping children and our passengers safe while driving.”
The ‘Community Relations’ award recognized Hyundai’s Amigos Unidos Employee Resource Group for its significant contributions through mentorship for underserved youth, cultural events, and local volunteerism, reflecting the impact of employee-driven community engagement.
According to Jadeh Makhsoos, Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Hyundai Motor North America, stated, “We are incredibly proud to be recognized by Ragan Communications for our commitment to corporate social responsibility, underscoring our global vision of progress for humanity.
