Green Acceleration

Going green for future generations and the earth

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, we will reduce the amount of carbon generated in our business sites and enhance our response to climate change and other environmental issues.

As of December 2019

Since the implementation of the Mobis Greenhouse Gas Management System (MGMS) in 2011, we have estimated the company’s GHG emissions, analyzed the statistics, and have continued to build a database through regular updates. Independent verification is conducted every year in accordance with ISO 14064 (International Standard for GHG Emissions Inventories and Verification) to ensure credibility in calculating emissions and proper reporting of our emissions and removals.

We launched Global Mobis Energy Management System (GMEMS) in 2015 for more efficient energy management and greater saving. The system allows us to keep track of how much energy is used for our facilities and equipment and what conditions they are in and measure and compare its cost and quality in real time.

In order to minimize the environmental impact caused by pollutants, Hyundai Mobis prohibits the use of ozone-depleting substances in the manufacturing processes of domestic factories and partner companies. Especially, we apply strict self-management standards that are within 50% of the legal allowable standard for all air pollutants generated at our business sites. In addition, we monitor the emission concentration every month through the safety-environment management system, and report the cause and countermeasures for business sites that exceed the operating standards to the management to reduce pollutants. Although Hyundai Mobis continues to increase its production facilities, we strive to reduce air pollutant emissions and maintain them at the 2020 level, with the goal of “Zeroing additional air pollutant emissions by 2025”

Through the Mobis Chemical Management System (MCMS) launched in 2014, we prevent the use of hazardous substances in our products and ensure their systematic management. Through this system, we have set the standard for managing information on substances in order to meet the requirements for finished vehicles at the R&D phase, and carry out analysis and review of product safety in compliance with local regulations on the chemical reporting process. In addition, we collect information on the registration status of hazardous substances in automotive parts through constant monitoring using the International Material Information System and ensure a timely response to any major regulatory changes. We plan to expand and apply the material information management system to overseas production models and global customer car models.

IMDS (International Material Data System): The automobile industry's material data system developed by major automakers.

Hyundai Mobis monitors the entire waste disposal process from waste discharge, transportation and treatment to reduce waste and promote recycling. And consigned waste is managed and monitored to ensure that the consigned waste disposal company disposes of the waste legally. In addition, we aim to achieve Zero Waste To Landfill (ZWTL) certification in order to strengthen the recycling of waste resources and expand recycling, which starts with Changwon plant to all workplace of Mobis.

We work to minimize the impact of synthetic packaging materials and lubricant on the environment during product distribution by, among other things, fulfilling our recycling obligations under the extended producer responsibility.

We define ‘business partners that can supply sustainably’ based on, for example, whether they supply core components, their level of relevancy with our business and whether they possess required technological capability. We also ensure that our Code of Conduct for Business Partners is fully communicated to all our partners and check that they comply with all relevant provisions on human rights, labor, ethics, safety, health, environment and the like. Penalty is imposed depending on the level of their individual compliance.

We ensure that our outsourcees, original equipment manufacturers and other collaborators abide by our requirements for environment, safety and health. As part of this policy, we conduct an environment and safety survey on our partners on a regular basis to ensure that they comply with our requirements and help them grow in line with other partners by assisting them in addressing non-compliances identified.

We always conduct due diligence before a merger or acquisition to identify any environmental risk and properly address it in advance. The due diligence is conducted with respect to each environmental medium, and findings from it are taken into account during the merger or acquisition process.
