Short- and long-term strategies and plans for Scope 1 emissions, emission reduction targets and performance analysis and management |
- |
SK gas is working on estimating expected greenhouse gas emissions in collaboration with the Korea Energy Management Corporation. Furthermore, in consideration of the greenhouse gas reduction target established through consultation with government agencies, the emission reduction rate is set at 8.06% and the emission allowance is set at 24,824 tCO2eq. In the longer term, we are building a phased scenario based on the 2050 Carbon Net Zero goal and taking a strategy accordingly. Scenario 1 is about improving existing facilities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The second stage contains the expansion of self-generation facilities, and the third stage contains a plan to achieve Carbon Net Zero by offsetting carbon emissions through conversion to new and renewable energy and introduction of new technologies. |

Discussion of management systems used to integrate a culture of safety |
As our major businesses handle high-pressure and high-temperature facilities and chemicals, we recognized the need to preemptive response for workplace operational and safety risks. We fortified SHE governance by forming a company-wide SHE committee and a general organization in charge while selecting an occupational safety and health manager for each business site. On top of that, a SHE management system based on the company-wide SHE (Safety, Health, Environment) principle was introduced, and SHE Master Plan has been established so that we embrace all of our business sites and partner companies composing the value chain into the scope of management to prevent and solve common safety problems. We plan to advance the SHE management system by implementing ‘SHE Master Plan Phase I’ from 2016 to 2019 and Phase II from 2020 to 2023 |

Discussion of corporate positions related to government regulations and/or policy proposals that address environmental and social factors affecting the industry |
|
SK gas holds monthly meetings for ‘integrated risk management committee’, a companywide risk management organization. In order to cope with the fast changes in laws and policies, the committee assumes the leading role in identifying external environment in which legal regulations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Act on Registration, Evaluation, etc. of Chemicals become more stringent along with the internal business environment. The legal compliance risks discovered through this are shared with the management and relevant departments to be incorporated into the discussion topic at the corporate level. As a result of evaluating legal violations and related risks through the discussions on the company position and seeking for countermeasures, the number of law violations made by SK gas was zero. |

SK gas operates the Integrated SHE Management System (ISMS) to share SHE status and key SHE information with our company and suppliers. Safety and SHE-related information, including SHE performance (PSI/accident index), SHE accidents, and SHE audits, are shared through Safety Talk (once a week) and SHE Bulletin (once a quarter). In addition, we regularly inspect the level of compliance with safety rules at facilities and workplaces (once a year) and inspect the safety management system. The inspection is conducted targeting documents and on-sites, and documented data is reviewed to check the compliance with laws and regulations related to gas, fire, and hazardous materials. At the same time, we provide education on the harms and dangers of substances handled and the safety prevention of chemical substances to employees of our company and our suppliers as we deal with chemical substances due to the nature of the industry |
