Management of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
According to the national emissions trade allocation plan and the enactment of the Act on the Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Permits, which allow the emission of greenhouse gas at an average amount of 125,000 tons or 25,000 tons per business site yearly, Hyundai Bioland set an internal standard of reducing greenhouse gas emissions at below 50% of the above-mentioned criteria.

Management of Discharge of Environmental Pollutants (Air/Water)
To minimize environmental impact caused by the operation of business sites, Hyundai Bioland regularly measures the amount of discharged air and water pollutants based on legal standards. We set an internal standard of keeping the discharge of pollutants below 50% of the amount allowed by law.
