Kumho Petrochemical Launches Comprehensive Upgrade Plan to Create New Benchmark for Smart, Safe and Green Chemical Industry

South Korea chemical giant Kumho Group recently announced a sustainable development strategy upgrade plan, through technological innovation and management innovation two-wheel drive, systematically improve the environmental performance and safety standards of the entire industry chain. As the first chemical company in South Korea to establish an ESG special working group, the group is deeply integrating the concept of green development into the whole production process.

Environmental Management Matrix
Three Core Sectors of the Group to Implement Precise Environmental Protection Transformation Simultaneously: Kumho P & B Chemical Deploys Intelligent Pollution Monitoring System in Lishui Factory of South Yala Province to Track Volatile Organic Compounds Emissions in Real Time; Kumho Mitsubishi Chemical develops closed-loop wastewater treatment process, which is expected to realize 100 percent reuse of production wastewater by 2024; Kumho Poly Chemical introduces a full life cycle assessment system, reduce organic compound emissions by 40% through leak warning technology. For the first time, all environmental data will be included in the annual sustainability report, subject to public scrutiny.

Intelligent Security System Multi-dimensional Breakthrough
In the field of security, the Group is building a "civil air defense + technical defense + intellectual defense" three-dimensional protection network. The AI security cameras deployed in Lishui and Weishan factories can identify fire hazards 30 seconds in advance, and wearable devices such as smart helmets can monitor the whole operation. Kumho Mitsubishi Chemical Strengthened Safety Inspection Algorithm Model, Kumho P & B Chemical implemented the "All Staff Safety Officer" system, and increased the hidden danger identification rate by 65% through immersion training. These innovations have resulted in a replicable security management template.

strategic synergy to create long-term value
"We are using technology to redefine the safety boundaries of chemical production. "The head of group ESG stressed. By establishing a full-cycle management loop covering research and development, production and monitoring, Kumho not only reduces the intensity of pollutant emissions below the industry average, but also creates a new green chemical model with global demonstration significance. With the advancement of EU carbon tariffs and other policies, companies expect these forward-looking layouts to translate into significant market competitive advantages.
