On the same day, Samsung C&T signed a business agreement with the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute, a carbon footprint certification body, at its headquarters in Gangdong-gu, Seoul. The Environmental Product Declaration is a system that displays environmental impact information throughout the entire process of products and services.

Samsung C&T and the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute will support the fees and consulting costs for partners' certification. This year, they plan to support 16 construction materials from 8 partner companies. The target products include items such as paving blocks from partners collaborating to apply Samsung C&T's carbon-reducing concrete technology, as well as flooring materials, steel pipes, and tiles. Samsung C&T plans to expand the scope in the future and assist not only with Environmental Product Declaration certification but also with low-carbon product certification acquisition.

Lee Ju-yong, Executive Director of Samsung C&T's Procurement Headquarters, said, "We will actively support our partners in obtaining environmental certifications to contribute to mutual growth and the expansion of distribution and consumption of products certified with the Environmental Product Declaration."
