Reduction of Greenhouse Gases
Direct greenhouse gas emissions from the Ansan Plant and Hwaseong Plant (Scope 1) and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from electricity use at the Ansan Plant (Scope 2) are the main sources of emission. To this end, we plan to analyze the current volumes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 (Scopes 1 and 2) to disclose business risks and opportunities at the company-wide level, including voluntary verification.
In addition, we are assessing and diagnosing the status of our response to climate change, and simultaneously reviewing ways to reduce our emissions and make eco-friendly investments to achieve the 2050 Net-Zero goals. Although we are not currently a company subject to greenhouse gas emissions trading, we are managing and monitoring greenhouse gas emissions proactively.
