Key achievements include: △ Inducing companies to reduce greenhouse gases through the greenhouse gas emissions trading system* △ Helpdesk operation and consulting support to strengthen companies’ response capabilities to the EU carbon border adjustment system △ Smart eco-factory for small and medium-sized companies to convert to eco-friendly facilities These include increasing corporate sales, improving odor, and reducing dust through construction projects.

Management Planning Director Cha Gwang-myeong, who attended the award ceremony that day, said, “We will strive to become an organization trusted by the public through transparent ESG management and private support.”

In addition, the corporation supports various greenhouse gas reduction activities, such as supporting local governments in establishing carbon neutral basic plans, using reusable containers to encourage citizens to practice carbon neutral lifestyles, and operating a carbon neutral point system.

Byeong-ok Ahn, Chairman of the Korea Environment Corporation, said, “We will work harder to create results that the public can feel by listening more closely to the opinions of various stakeholders and actively reflecting them in our work.”
