■ Basic Principles
Seohan Auto USA establishes policies to minimize unnecessary waste of natural resources through efficient use of raw materials in product and service production.
Through continuous improvement of product and service production processes, we optimize raw material input. By comprehensively considering business strategy, production schedules, and inventory management, we manage raw materials under planned production systems.
We encourage the use of eco-friendly certified raw materials produced through sustainable methods. Furthermore, we track raw materials produced through natural capital degradation and strive to mitigate significant environmental risks.
We establish and implement biodiversity protection policies across all business operations, including raw material procurement and supply chain management.
■ Energy
Seohan Auto USA leads energy transition across its value chain by building eco-friendly energy production systems, investing in renewable energy infrastructure, and expanding sustainable product lines.
We also drive daily energy conservation through efficiency initiatives and company-wide energy-saving campaigns.
We implement energy reduction initiatives including:
– Replacing aging facilities with low energy efficiency
– Adopting high-efficiency equipment
– Developing/applying eco-friendly processes
– Conducting energy conservation campaigns
We implement renewable energy solutions tailored to each facility’s needs, including: installing renewable energy generation systems, purchasing renewable energy certificates, and establishing power supply agreements with energy producers.
We implement a monitoring system for energy and greenhouse gas tracking and analyze system data to develop energy efficiency improvement strategies.
■ Water Resource Management
Seohan Auto USA recognizes the critical need for sustainable water conservation. We actively pursue water reduction and recycling initiatives, while conducting regular inspections and improvements of water facilities to ensure timely access to high-quality water for all operations.
To enhance water resource sustainability, we consistently practice the 3R initiative: Reducing consumption, Reusing water, and Recycling wastewater across all operations.
To enhance efficient water use across our facilities, we are strengthening monitoring of: water consumption, water reuse volumes, and wastewater discharge levels.
■ Greenhouse Gas
Seohan Auto USA develops and implements carbon-neutral policies to combat climate change, featuring practical GHG reduction plans for Net Zero goals, a phased shift to renewable energy systems, and carbon absorption/offset programs customized to operational needs.
We achieve carbon neutrality through renewable energy transition and energy efficiency measures. Additionally, we implement carbon-neutral production hubs by advancing manufacturing technologies like eco-friendly smart factories and innovating production platforms.
We develop carbon-neutral supply chain guidelines, incentivize carbon-neutral practices, and execute customized reduction activities tailored to supply chain characteristics.
We develop dedicated platforms and technologies for eco-friendly products, expand green infrastructure, and increase the adoption of sustainable products/services. Through these efforts, we reduce emissions/greenhouse gases generated from product and service usage.
■ Waste Management
Seohan Auto USA establishes and implements waste management and recycling policies to reduce waste generation during operations and ensure efficient waste processing.
All waste generated at our facilities undergoes legally compliant processing and full traceability, strictly following regulatory procedures mandated by environmental laws.
We identify high landfill/incineration-rate waste from production processes and transform it into new products/services, building an upcycling ecosystem that creates additional value.
■ Environmental Pollution Prevention
Seohan Auto USA minimizes negative environmental impacts by reducing emissions of air pollutants and water contaminants while prioritizing the safety and health of customers and employees.
We establish and enforce pollution control standards based on national environmental laws and regulations to systematically manage the generation and discharge of environmental pollutants.
Seohan Auto USA monitors emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter (Dust), while investing in pollution reduction equipment and adopting new technologies to maintain levels below legal limits.
Seohan Auto USA monitors discharge levels of water pollutants including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), operating treatment facilities to maintain compliance with legal discharge limits.
