VISION    Lead a safe and eco-friendly manufacturing ecosystem
MISSION    Create shared value through honest corporate activity

Five Environmental Policies

  • Environment First

    Prioritize environmental considerations across the full product life cycle

  • System Operation

    Continuously improve the ISO 14001 environmental management system

  • Regulatory Compliance

    Comply with domestic and global environmental laws and social expectations

  • Capability Building

    Strengthen environmental awareness and education for all employees

  • Stronger Communication

    Build trust with stakeholders through transparent disclosure

Environmental Certifications

  • Certified to ISO 14001 environmental management system standards
  • Eco-label certification for products that support resource circulation and reduce hazardous substances, including lead-free corrosion-resistant brass bars

Climate Action

Daechang’s 2035 carbon reduction roadmap
for a more sustainable tomorrow

  • Carbon Reduction Strategy

    Digital transformation: real-time integrated energy management through FEMS

    Process innovation: remote automated equipment control and replacement with high-efficiency machinery

  • Renewable Energy Infrastructure

    Operate and continue expanding solar power facilities on idle land such as the headquarters site and parking areas

  • Smart Energy Management

    Use more than 250 monitoring devices for real-time tracking and AI-based demand forecasting optimization

  • Energy Recovery

    External waste heat utilization: reduce process fuel use by receiving steam from a nearby incineration facility

    Energy storage: manage peak electricity demand and reduce cost through ESS deployment

Circular resources and
eco-friendly operations

A virtuous manufacturing cycle
that restores value to discarded resources

  • Water Reuse and Community Synergy

    Condensate recycling: receive discarded steam condensate from nearby companies and reuse it as process water, reducing water use while recovering heat energy

    Internal circulation: operate rainwater storage facilities and cooling-water recirculation systems

  • Pollution Control

    Continuous improvement: maintain strict control of air and water pollutants through ongoing environmental facility investment

    Air: expand dust collection systems and manage emissions below permitted limits

    Water and waste: apply wastewater standards stricter than legal requirements and maximize waste recycling rates

  • Eco-Friendly Product Lineup

    Resource circulation: use recycled scrap for more than 85 percent of raw materials

    Environmental impact management: complete and expand life cycle assessments across major product lines

    Green products: supply human-safe lead-free and low-lead brass, along with brass fishing nets that support marine ecosystems
