Green Transformation to 2045 Net-Zero
Achieve Net-Zero emissions of all workplaces by 2040; of supply chain by 2045
By 2030, we plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% compared to those in 2019, and to convert all the electricity used in our global sites to renewable energy by 2040 (targeting 80% reduction of emissions), which will then lead us to achieve Net-Zero emissions throughout the supply chains (Scope 3) by 2045.

We have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative to set ambitious Net-Zero targets in line with the latest climate science consistent with limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C. We are also a participant in the Business Ambition for 1.5℃ and the Race to Zero to be part of the global efforts for Net-Zero. The Business Ambition for 1.5°C is a campaign led by the SBTi in partnership with the UN Global Compact and the We Mean Business coalition.
By joining the RE100 Initiative, a global renewable energy campaign that aims to convert 100% of electricity consumed by companies into renewable energy, we are promoting the use of 100% of renewable energy in our business sites. More than 85% of the energy used by Hyundai Mobis is electricity, and since most of the greenhouse gas emissions are generated by the use of electricity generated from fossil fuels, the transition to renewable energy will be the main way to achieve Net-Zero. We set mid/long-term targets to achieve 65% by 2030 and 100% by 2040. To this end, we are working closely with related sectors. To further improve renewable energy efficiency, we are seeking ways to implement various programs in line with social and environmental conditions including self-solar power generation and use of green rates by country.

We have joined K-EV100, the Korean electric vehicle transition campaign where corporate-owned and leased vehicles are switched to EV or FCEV. We set 30% in 2025, 70% in 2028, and 100% in 2030 as the 3-stage mid/long-term targets. In order to promote the use of pollution-free vehicles, we plan to build charging stations in business sites. Roadmap has been established to install an infrastructure with 200 pollution-free chargers, including 12 fast chargers in the business sites by 2030. By joining the K-EV100 and implementing the roadmap.
Hyundai Mobis has publicly declared support for TCFD as a TCFD(Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) supporter. In order to participate in the international community's efforts to prevent an increase in global average temperature, we are transparently disclosing environmental information by reflecting the TCFD recommendations.
Since the establishment of the Mobis Greenhouse-gas Management System(MGMS) in 2011, Hyundai Mobis has been conducting the company’s GHG(Scope 1,2) emissions calculations and statistical analysis at all business sites through regular system updates. In 2022, a function to calculate supply chain GHG was added(Scope 3), which further advanced the GHG management system. Based on the company-wide GHG reduction strategy, the performance of each sector is reviewed every year to solidify the foundation for implementing reduction activities. Annual third-party verification is conducted in accordance with ISO14064 (International Standard for GHG Emissions Inventories and Verification) to ensure credibility and proper reporting of emissions and removals.

System(GMEMS) in major domestic and overseas business sites and is monitoring the company-wide energy consumption status and amount of solar power generation by detecting the real-time energy consumption of each facility. We are also continuously updating the system to enable efficient management through comparative analysis by time period, while managing the status and quality of energy supply as well as consumption cost by country. Furthermore, we are establishing a smart factory base for Ulsan Electrification Factory in order to improve process efficiency.

In order to minimize the environmental risks caused by air pollutants, Hyundai Mobis strictly prohibits the use of ozone-depleting substances in the manufacturing process of domestic factories and partner companies. Our standards mandate that the emission rate be kept under 80% of legal statistics and monthly emitted concentration rates be monitored with our safety management system. Business sites that exceed such standards are required to report to the board of directors for the prevention of potential recurrences and present viable measures for improvement. As air pollutant emission levels are expected to rise along with the expansion of production facilities of Hyundai Mobis. However, we will devote ourselves to achieve to restrict the air pollutant emission as the 2021 level by reviewing the introduction of optimal prevention facilities and managing the efficiency of prevention facilities.

In order to prevent the use of hazardous substances in products in advance and systematically manage chemical substances in use, Hyundai Mobis has integrated existing systems to advance Mobis Chemical Management System(MCMS) since 2020. The system is currently being applied to OE orders, vehicle models produced domestically and internationally. In the development stage, we analyze and review the harmfulness of the developed product in accordance with the requirements and laws for finished vehicles, and in the post-production stage, we secure material information that satisfies the regulations through product/part change management. In addition, if harmfulness is identified during the entire process from development to mass production, we are responding so that improvement measures can be taken immediately by changing parts specifications etc. Furthermore, we collect information on the usage of hazardous substances in automobile parts, and analyze material information through the system and conduct periodic monitoring so that we can respond in a timely manner in case of major changes.

For waste reduction and promotion of recycling, Hyundai Mobis monitors the entire waste process from waste discharge to transportation and treatment and reports it to the government. Consignment companies are regularly inspected for the proper treatment of the wastes. n addition, for the first time in the domestic automobile industry, the Changwon Plant has been certified as ZWTL (Zero Waste To Landfill) Gold Level in 2022 from UL (global certification service). Also, joining the Korea Packaging Recycling Cooperative in 2014, Hyundai Mobis is fulfilling its duty of recycling for synthetic resin packaging materials (bubble wrap, vinyl, PE fillers) and lubricants according to the Extended Producer Responsibility system.
ZTWL(Zero Waste To Landfill) Validation: Program(devised via UL Solution, a global) that provides rating of Platinum (100%), Gold (99~95%), and Silver (94~90%) based on the rate of waste recycled.

Hyundai Mobis conducts product life cycle assessment to preemptively respond to domestic and overseas regulations and changes in market. A pilot is selected among products exported to global automakers, ISO 14040 and 14044 are applied, and environmental impact items such as global warming, ozone layer impact, and acid rain are evaluated using CML techniques. The report has been officially published on the website. We selected pilots from products exported to global OEMs and applies the ISO 14040 and 14044 standards. In addition, using the CML technique, we assess the products in relation to environmental impact items such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, and acid rain. Furthermore, the Life Cycle Assessment Report containing all relevant information was officially posted on the website in January 2023.
Life Cycle Assessment(LCA): Assessment conducted from the perspective of a product’s entire life cycle from the mining of raw materials to production, usage, recycle, and disposal Centrum voor Milieuwetenschappen Leiden(CML) technique: An impact assessment technique limiting quantitative modeling developed by the Institute of Environmental Sciences of the University of Leiden.
Hyundai Mobis conducts fair evaluations based on quality/delivery, technology, and development capabilities in supplier selection process. Also, compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct is reviewed, including six areas (human rights/labor, safety/health, environment, ethics, responsible mineral procurement, management system), and penalties are imposed according to the level of compliance. Furthermore, in order to reduce supply chain GHG emissions and encourage eco-friendly activities, the flow of global environmental management and Hyundai Mobis' supply chain GHG management plan are shared at the regular general meeting of suppliers. By establishing an eco-friendly parts supply agreement within the parts supply contract, we require suppliers to prohibit the use of the four major heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium) and to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
