Sustainability
ILJIN Electric conducts Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) on its major products, including extra-high-voltage cables, transformers, and aluminium rods, to systematically analyze environmental impacts throughout the entire product life cycle, from raw material procurement and manufacturing to use and end-of-life disposal.
Based on the LCA results, the Company continuously pursues environmental impact reduction and the development of environmentally friendly products. In addition, ILJIN Electric has obtained an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its aluminium rod products and transparently discloses product environmental information.
ILJIN Electric systematically manages air pollutants, water pollutants, and waste generated throughout its business operations to minimize environmental impacts.
Based on its ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS), the Company continuously monitors pollutant emissions and strictly complies with environmental laws, regulations, and emission standards. In addition, regular environmental inspections and environmental impact assessments are conducted to proactively identify and prevent potential environmental risks.
ILJIN Electric manages the entire waste management process, from generation and storage to treatment, across all business sites in accordance with established procedures. Through thorough waste segregation, we maximize recycling rates while minimizing landfill and incineration. In addition, residual materials from production are recycled as raw materials to reduce environmental impacts.
Water used in production processes is managed with a focus on conservation and efficiency, while wastewater is classified and treated according to pollutant sources to prevent water pollution. ILJIN Electric also monitors annual water consumption and wastewater discharge to drive continuous improvement.
Air pollutant emissions, including particulate matter, SOx, and NOx, are regularly monitored and managed at each business site. We minimize emissions by operating air pollution control facilities and strictly complying with environmental regulations. In particular, the Hongseong Plant has installed low-NOx burners in its boilers to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, contributing to the protection of air quality.
Through continuous efforts in developing environmentally friendly technologies and reducing environmental impacts, ILJIN Electric has obtained the Green Technology Certification awarded by the Ministry of Environment. This certification recognizes the technological excellence and environmental benefits of the Company's technologies.
