The newly completed solar power facilities were installed on a rooftop space with a total floor area of 419㎡ (approximately 127 pyeong). Through 170 bifacial solar panels, it can produce 111,690 kWh of electricity annually. This amount can replace about 45% of the annual electricity consumption of the 2nd Integrated Logistics Center.

A Hyundai Duty Free official stated, "This solar power facility can reduce carbon emissions by 52 tons annually, which is equivalent to planting 7,904 pine trees," and added, "We plan to continue our efforts for sustainable management."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Duty Free is showcasing various activities to participate in Hyundai Department Store Group's eco-friendly management integrated brand, 'Re.Green.' In September 2021, it became the first in the duty-free industry to introduce eco-friendly paper packaging, reducing air cap usage by 5 tons annually. In October 2022, it reduced single-use waste by about 35% by introducing reusable logistics packaging.

Additionally, last year, the company implemented the 'Single-use Items Twice Use Campaign,' where customers return duty-free packaging materials to the delivery area for reuse, resulting in an annual waste reduction of 12 tons.
