  • Greenhouse Gas Emission Management
    Greenhouse Gas Emission Management
    Since 2009, DL E&C has maintained a greenhouse gas inventory system in response to climate change, one of the world's most significant environmental issues, and strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all domestic sites and headquarters. Furthermore, through third-party verification, the data's reliability has been ensured, and the system has been continuously improved.

    Energy Usage Management
    DL E&C predicts GHG emissions by reviewing the expected energy consumption and sets reduction targets by classifying energy facilities according to the level of impact. In order to achieve the targets, we establish quantitative action plans and implement performance management to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions.
    Energy Consumption Data by Fuel (Domestic Business Site)
    (Unit:TJ)
    ※ 2021 goal : Reduce by 3% reduction from the Energy Baseline(EnB)
    ※ Energy Baseline (EnB) : 3 year average energy usage (‘18~’20)
Eco-friendly Management Activity
DL E&C is focusing on preventing environmental accidents by investigating all environmental risks such as air, noise vibration, waste, and water quality that may occur during construction and is constantly striving to create an eco-friendly construction site through the implementation of a smart environmental management system.
Investment performance in eco-friendly technology development
As the international community's awareness and importance of eco-friendliness is increasing, the ability to respond to climate change is required not only in the construction industry but also in all industries. Accordingly, global companies are making various efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions such as energy saving in the building sector. DL E&C has been promoting the development of various eco-friendly technologies to meet the needs of consumers for a pleasant living environment and roadmap for mandatory zero-energy construction by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. In addition, we are continuously expanding high-efficiency and eco-friendly designs with the goal of realizing 100% zero-energy-saving housing.

Green Purchasing System
In 2012, DL E&C established green purchasing management guidelines in compliance with the industry's Green Purchase Voluntary Agreement to stimulate company-wide purchasing of eco-friendly materials and to aggregate and manage performance. Purchase items include civil engineering, construction, electricity, chemistry, equipment, and home goods, as well as raw and subsidiary materials required for manufacturing activities at each site. When requesting material purchases at each site, the purchasing organization verifies the availability of eco-friendly materials and acquires eco-friendly products with the highest priority.
Green Purchasing Process
Green Purchasing Performance
By prioritizing eco-friendly products such as eco-friendly lighting, bathroom supplies, and interior finishing materials, DL E&C is constantly reinforcing its green purchasing procedures. Eco-friendly certified items are acquired and used based on the Ministry of Environment's official certification of eco-label certified products and great recycled products. Through this we are working to achieve sustainable Green Construction by conserving energy and resources, enhancing recycling and resource circulation, decreasing dangerous compounds, and lowering pollution to the environment. Furthermore, via continual process and system improvement, we intend to broaden and apply the range and proportion of green purchase products.
Ratio of purchases of green products to purchases of raw materials and subsidiary materials
*Green product purchase amount: Eco-label certification / eco-friendly building material certification (HB certification) / Purchase of excellent recycled product certification company products, recycled aggregates, and new and renewable energy equipment
