View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] SK Innovation has become the first company in the domestic energy industry to receive international standard certification from an external evaluation agency for a system that measures the greenhouse gas impact throughout the entire product production process.
On the 17th, SK Innovation announced that it received international standard certification related to product carbon footprint calculation from the global certification body Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA). LRQA is a greenhouse gas verification agency designated by the Ministry of Environment and is a global verification organization specializing in greenhouse gas verification.
The newly certified 'SK LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Infrastructure' is designed to measure and monitor greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire process?from crude oil extraction to usage and disposal stages?of energy and chemical products produced by SK Innovation, following standardized procedures. It measures and monitors the total carbon emissions of each business unit under SK Innovation and includes functions to evaluate the impact of various carbon emission reduction measures.
SK Innovation uses the LCA infrastructure to check the current status of greenhouse gas emissions from the company and its products and to support its net-zero transition. In the future, it plans to use this system to verify the greenhouse gas emissions of products produced by the company to customers and external parties.
