Yangcheon-gu Awarded Best District in Seoul Environmental Management Evaluation

Comprehensive Evaluation Results of Environmental and Delegated Task Management for Emission Facilities Including Air and Wastewater

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Kim Soo-young) was selected as the best district in the '2020 Comprehensive Evaluation of Environmental Management Status' conducted by Seoul City.

Seoul City conducts an annual environmental management status evaluation targeting all 25 autonomous districts to improve the management capabilities of pollutant-emitting businesses and to disseminate best practices.

This evaluation was conducted across nine items in three information management areas for each district: ▲ environmental management of pollutant-emitting businesses ▲ management of delegated environmental tasks ▲ activation of the environmental monitoring network.

The district received particularly high evaluations in the 'pollutant-emitting business environmental management' and 'management of delegated environmental tasks' areas.

A district official stated, "We received high scores for efforts to prevent environmental pollution by focusing management on areas prone to pollution and for the high detection rate of violations during inspections and guidance of pollutant-emitting businesses."

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "Reflecting on the results of this comprehensive evaluation, we will strengthen the management of pollutant-emitting facilities and establish a transparent environmental administration system so that all residents can live in a clear and clean environment."
