Response to Climate Change
AEKYUNG, Smart Green Management Case Study
By carrying out greenhouse gas emission reduction activity in every stage of producing Smart Green Liquid Detergent ‘LiQ’,
We could reduce total 1,432ton CO2 for two years. The amount is equal to the annual amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 217,000 pine trees 30 years ago and when it is converted to the amount of power consumption, It gives the effect of saving about KRW 100,000 electricity bill per household for 5,000 households (with 4 family members).
Even in the following years, We plan to develop eco-friendly products though active implementation of low carbon dioxide product development process and continue to expand activities to practice ‘Smart Green Management’.
