Introduction to Environmental Safety and Health Management
Kumho Polychem believes that human life can coexist with nature, and as such,
all of our company actions uphold related environmental, safety, and health regulations.
To minimize risks and effect on the environment, we actively push forward various activities
based on the Environmental, Safety, and Health Management System (ISO 14001, ISO 45001).
We continuously invest in facilities to reduce various pollutants that occur during the production process,
to better protect our environment, and work hard to restore local community environments.
Additionally, we focus our capabilities on developing eco-friendly products and solutions to achieve “carbon neutrality”,
the most basic way to respond to climate change.
Further, to ensure our workplace is safe, we conduct full safety and health management activities under the guise of surpassing legal standards.
We conduct a review of all laws and regulations related to safety and health each quarter, and discover risk factors,
so we can implement improvement procedures. We further monitor the status of health and safety management in each
workplace through a safety and health management report overseen by our CEO.
Kumho Polychem vows to become a sustainable business that upholds our societal responsibilities and places the environment, safety, and health above all else.
