Jungjingong Takes Action for SME Carbon Neutrality

Recruitment of Participating Companies for the 'Carbon Neutral Transition Support Project' Until the 8th of Next Month

The Small and Medium Business Corporation announced that it will begin recruiting participating companies for the 'SME Carbon Neutral Transition Support' project, which provides equipment necessary for small and medium-sized enterprises to transition to carbon neutrality, starting from the 19th.

The 'SME Carbon Neutral Transition Support Project' offers comprehensive support such as ▲detailed design consulting and ▲introduction of carbon reduction equipment to small and medium-sized enterprises voluntarily transitioning to low-carbon processes, thereby supporting the companies' actual carbon reduction.

Specifically, ▲detailed design consulting measures the company's carbon emissions, analyzes processes, and proposes step-by-step carbon reduction plans. ▲The introduction of carbon reduction equipment provides government subsidies covering up to 70% of the purchase cost of the equipment (up to 300 million KRW).

In particular, the Small and Medium Business Corporation recognizes the importance of carbon reduction for small and medium-sized enterprises, which account for more than 31% of domestic industrial sector carbon emissions, and plans to double the support scale compared to the previous year, supporting the introduction of carbon reduction equipment for about 100 companies with a total budget of 12.8 billion KRW.

Detailed information on the application and registration for the Small and Medium Business Corporation's Carbon Neutral Transition Support Project can be found on the SME ESG and Carbon Neutral Integrated Platform. Kang Seok-jin, Director of the Small and Medium Business Corporation, stated, “As a specialized institution supporting the carbon neutral transition of small and medium enterprises, we will actively support the proactive transition to low-carbon processes of small and medium-sized enterprises lacking financial resources,” and added, “We will continue to implement various support policies to achieve the national greenhouse gas reduction target for 2030 together with small and medium-sized enterprises.”
