Discussion of processes to assess and manage environmental risks associated with project design,
siting, and construction
|
IF-EN160a.2 |
SK ecoplant is subject to environmental laws and regulations. Accordingly, we have set up an
environmental management system to control the entire process, from the start of construction to
completion, to comply with relevant laws and regulations and prevent environmental risks.
Environmental impact assessments cover the full environmental scope of air, soil, water quality,
biodiversity, and waste, and the results are reflected in improvement plans. Further, plans to
manage on-site environments and potential impacts are also developed prior to construction,
while in the post-construction stage, key checklists required for the business process are
reviewed to reflect all necessary items – such as licensing and safety vests. All major
operating processes are monitored at all project sites, and optimized guidelines for each
process aim to minimize environmental damage in the vicinity of each site.

Consideration for energy and water efficiency during the project planning and designing process
|
IF-EN-410a.2 |
From the initial design stage, SK ecoplant conducts an energy analysis simulation to incorporate
design and technological elements that boost energy efficiency and user comfort. A building
energy management system (BEMS) is also used to improve energy management efficiency in the
building maintenance and operational stages. For water conservation and circulation management,
low-impact development (LID) techniques control on-site rainwater, in addition to
water-conserving sanitary devices. Passive design (i.e., placement and direction and
high-performing cover) is applied to minimize energy volume in buildings, and active design
(i.e., high-efficiency facilities and LED) is applied to enhance energy efficiency. Furthermore,
SK ecoplant’s integrated energy design process maximizes energy independence step by step
through renewable sources such as solar, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), geothermal
heat, and fuel cells. In the construction process, smart construction is utilized to improve
productivity. The use of applicable materials and methods reduces CO2 and waste, and temporary
power for use in construction is produced by solar power generators. Moreover, wastewater and
drift chamber water are not discarded but re-used in construction, landscaping, and sprinkling.
Other eco-friendly efforts include obtaining green building certifications and energy efficiency
rating certifications for buildings, as well as conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) for
buildings to evaluate information on the environmental loads that occur during the entire life
cycle of a building. The results of these assessments serve as a basis for establishing
step-by-step environmental load reduction plans.

Description of policies and practices for prevention of:
(1) Bribery and corruption
(2) Anti-competitive behavior in the project bidding process
|
IF-EN-510a.3 |
(1) SK ecoplant pledges to strengthen its ethical and compliance management and act fairly and
transparently throughout the business process. The scope of our code of ethics has been expanded
to the entire value chain, including employees, executives, and Biz. Partners, in line with
global standards. Also, a separate code of conduct for Biz. Partners is in effect. The drive to
build an organizational culture of ethical management requires the maintenance of our education
programs and compliance pledges, as well as regular audits and anti-corruption risk assessments
for monitoring violations.
(2) SK ecoplant introduced the Compliance Program (CP) in 2008 to ensure compliance with fair
trade laws and regulations at both domestic and overseas project sites. The CP is exclusively
monitored by the Compliance Manager, who is appointed through a resolution of the Board of
Directors, and operated by the Compliance Department under the direct control of the CEO. A
preliminary reporting process for industry meetings is operated to prevent bidding collusion,
unfair sub-contracting agreements are prevented through pre-reviews of on-site documentation,
and technological theft is prevented through operation of a TDMS (Technical Data Management
System) and technology data request forms. In accordance with this CP operating system, a
preliminary supervision system is established to proactively review and prevent legal
violations. In addition to preliminary reviews, we are constantly monitoring the legal execution
of contracts and conduct on-site checks every month to immediately respond to any violations of
agreements with subcontractors. Through documentary inspections of subcontractors, we also check
payment status and takes pre-emptive corrective actions for any violations. In addition, we
strive to minimize the risk of legal violations by continuously providing our employees with
job-specific and case-specific training on the Act of Subcontracting and the Act on Fair
Labeling and Advertising.
