To put into practice environmentally sound, sustainable development, Lotte E&C has earned the ISO 14001 certification for its implementation of Korea’s first eco-friendly system.

ISO14001 Standard operational structure

PLAN - Determine the environmental impact - evaluate environmental impact by item - Set environmental goals/establish environmental improvement plans
DO - Delineate responsibilities within the organization/provide environment-related training - Establish a system to communicate environment information/set in-house rules on environment
ACTION - Determine the environmental impact/evaluate environmental impact by item - Set environmental goals/establish environmental improvement plans
CHECK - Supervision and measurement/remedy irregularities - Manage documents related to environmental issues/implement environmental audit

To reduce pollution in areas near our worksites, we created guidebooks including laws, practical guidelines, and environmental management workbooks and shared them with everyone on the site. This significantly minimizes site pollution.

On-site environmental pollution source management

To prevent atmosphere, water, noise, and vibration environmental pollution, Lotte E&C conducted environmental impact assessments and accordingly installed prevention equipment and facilities.
We regularly monitor the equipment and facilities via the Intranet to ensure they are being maintained properly. We are always vigilant about possible construction site pollution.

[Current status in environmental management]

Environmental cleanup

We observe a monthly environment day to improve the environmental quality of surrounding areas by cleaning up and raising awareness of environmental cleanliness.

Asbestos safety management

Lotte E&C has made a voluntary pact on asbestos safety management with the Ministry of Environment. Under the terms of the pact, we comply with rules that call for not scattering asbestos dust that would affect the health of the workers and residents. In addition, we require each and every worker to wear safety hats and other protective clothing.
