Environmental Policy

We establish an eco-friendly management system to contribute to a sustainable global environment for future generations. If you need more terms translated or have any other requests, feel free to let me know.

Environmental Management Activities

Through ISO14001 (Environmental Management System), we establish company policies to minimize negative environmental impacts. We monitor performance through a systematic management system.

Energy Management

We are striving to achieve the "Save Earth Factory" by promoting "Energy Recycling" and "Energy Efficiency Improvement Activities." We regularly monitor the energy management status of each workplace, manage the achievement rates of reduction targets and improvement plans for each workplace, and are actively preparing for the introduction of a real-time measurable Energy Management System (FEMS: Factory Energy Management System).

Waste Management

We set an annual goal to reduce waste by 5% and aim to recycle more than 50%.

  • All workplaces comply with relevant laws and strive to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. We implement thorough management and employee education on the separation and disposal of recyclables on an enterprise-wide level.
  • We practice maximizing the reuse of reusable resources to prevent environmental pollution.

Expanding the Use of Eco-Friendly Raw Materials

We are developing eco-friendly materials and components for use in the manufacturing process with a goal of achieving over 80% recycling.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management

We are implementing a step-by-step roadmap to achieve RE100 in order to strengthen our response to climate change and other environmental issues. We regularly monitor and manage the emissions of greenhouse gases from both internal and external sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Water Resource Management

Daewonsanup workplaces do not have facilities that generate wastewater, so the risk of water resource management and wastewater discharge is considered relatively low compared to other manufacturing industries. However, we recognize the importance of water resource management for sustainable management and are working to minimize water shortage risks by expanding water recycling (using greywater) and other measures.

Air Pollutant Management

We are promoting various activities to improve air quality and minimize the negative environmental impacts of air pollutants. To achieve this, we operate dust collection facilities to reduce the emission of air pollutants generated during the manufacturing process and improve air quality. Additionally, we have implemented an IoT-based air pollutant emission monitoring system (dust collector remote monitoring system).

Biodiversity Conservation

Daewonsanup monitors the biodiversity in the vicinity of its workplaces by using the National Institute of Biological Resources' Biodiversity Information System to track changes in biodiversity due to the environmental impacts of its business operations. Types of Species: Insects: 5 species Plants: 1 species Fungi: 2 species

Hazardous Chemical Management

The main hazardous chemical used by Daewonsanup is one item, MDI, which is a key raw material used in the automotive seat PAD foaming process. To ensure a safe workplace from hazardous substances, we manage the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) from the initial stages of supplier bidding for chemical purchases, ensuring that related information is systematically verified. We also provide employee training on this matter. Additionally, we assess the hazardous substances in the workplace based on the toxicity and exposure information of chemicals. Through Process Safety Management (PSM), we strive to prevent leaks and enhance safety management while reducing external impacts.

Carbon Neutral Strategy

Environmental Management Activities

Environmental Management Activities
Daewonsanup is committed to realizing carbon neutrality at its workplaces by transitioning to renewable energy, applying high-efficiency motors and inverters, and improving energy efficiency and conservation in production processes. We set an annual carbon reduction goal of 5% compared to the previous year and aim to reduce carbon emissions by 75% at our workplaces by 2050 compared to 2023 levels. Additionally, we strive to switch the electric energy used in manufacturing processes to renewable energy and introduce eco-friendly components in product development to expand resource recycling and the use of new materials.
