Climate change is accelerating, bringing us close to irreversible change. The world is calling for companies to take heed, while governments are reinforcing environmental regulations.
POSCO FUTURE M has presented a mid-to-long-term roadmap to create environmental values and is implementing phased activities aimed at preserving the natural environment while spurring economic growth in local communities.
POSCO FUTURE M has established policies and strategies for Environmental management to minimize environmental impacts due to its business activities. To adapt to the rapidly-changing business environment and the demands of stakeholders, we are updating our policies and plans
Environmental Management Strategy
As a global materials company with a sense of responsibility for environmental changes on the earth, POSCO FUTURE M practices environmentally-friendly management across its business operations and decision making processes. Under our Environmental Management vision of becoming a low-carbon green company leading the global market, we have established four strategies and proactively reviewed the environmental issues we face.
Sustainability Goals
To develop into the world’s leading company for low-carbon, green growth
Major Strategies
Advancement of the environmental management system (with improved operation of the system, more in-depth analysis on environmental indicators, standardization of accounting management).
Expanded cycle of resources and zero pollution (reduced waste, more upcycling, support for process improvement, cross-checking for diagnosis).
Systematization of the carbon-neutral response (activities that cut down emissions, securing emission rights, introduction of renewable energy).
More frequent communication inside out (improved communication for policy response, more education programs, acquiring higher ratings).
A Happy Workplace through Preemptive Environmental Management Activities
Environmental Management Governance
POSCO FUTURE M has established a company-wide operations organization for systematic green management. The company manages targets and implements action plans for its strategies. Each individual business unit responds to environmental risks, operates emissions prevention equipment and chemical materials, provides environmental training, and performs audits.
Sustainable Governance Certifications
Beginning with the first certification (ISO 14001) in 2011, POSCO FUTURE M gained the ISO14001 for our cathodes plant and the second anodes plant in 2020, thus acquiring certification for all locations. In the next several years, we plan to advance our management system and supplementing relevant areas to meet our stakeholders' expectations for sustainable governance.
