Orion Selected as Target Site for 'Energy Management System Establishment Support Project'

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Orion announced on the 26th that its Cheongju factory has been selected as a target site for the 2022 'Energy Management System (EnMS) Establishment Support Project' aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions under the emissions trading system for the food and beverage industry, hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency.

The Energy Management System (EnMS) is a management activity system that sets energy efficiency improvement goals and manages them systematically. The Cheongju factory will receive 50% of the investment amount for building the EnMS infrastructure by December this year from the Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency.

Orion plans to install energy meters on major production equipment within the Cheongju factory and monitor key data such as greenhouse gas emissions in real time. Additionally, it will continuously reduce energy consumption by replacing low-efficiency production equipment and cutting standby power. Through these efforts, it is expected to reduce approximately 1,000 tons of carbon emissions annually.

An Orion official stated, "This selection marks the fruition of Orion's efforts to reduce greenhouse gases," adding, "We will continue to promote eco-friendly activities as part of strengthening ESG linked to the group's management policy of ethical management."
