Powernet "Implementing Ethics-Based ESG Management... Focusing on Building a Sustainable System"
Powernet has completed the roadmap planning for practicing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management and is carrying out a phased implementation plan.
According to Powernet on the 30th, last year, they received ESG management consulting for about four months with support from Samsung Electronics Win-Win Cooperation Center, and established a mid- to long-term plan to build a sustainable management reporting system by 2030, starting with the formation of a dedicated ESG team.
In May, a training session titled "Survival Ethical Management in the Era of ESG" was held with the participation of all employees, inviting a professional lecturer to raise awareness and the necessity of practicing ESG management. On World Environment Day, all employees participated in environmental cleanup activities and a campaign to avoid using disposable products.
A Powernet official stated, “We have established an integrated EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) management process combining headquarters and local subsidiaries and are conducting regular inspections. We are also implementing planned goals such as obtaining ISO45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certification.” He added, “By next year, we plan to focus on establishing a sustainable system by preparing energy and greenhouse gas reduction measures centered on local subsidiaries for net-zero and renewing the website reflecting ESG management.”
