Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Business
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) BusinessThe requirement to limit greenhouse gas emissions was imposed on industrialized countries through accords such as the 1992 Climate Change Convention and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The amount of greenhouse gas reduction achieved by eco-friendly initiatives in non-compulsory reduction countries can also be recognized as the mandatory fulfillment amount, according to the Clean Development Mechanism. DL Co., Ltd. is also helping Korea meet its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through CDM projects in Chile and Pakistan.United Nations Framework Convention on Climate ChangeKyoto ProtocolJoint ImplementationRecognizing success in greenhouse gas reduction between obligatory reduction nations and mandatory reduction countriesClean Development MechanismRecognizing performance in greenhouse gas reductions between nations with required and non-compulsory reductionsEmission Trading SystemTrades are permitted based on reduction performance following the allocation of emission permits to mandated reduction countriesChile PMGD Solar Power ProjectWe are building a 105MW solar power facility in Chile as part of the CDM project, which is estimated to cut greenhouse gas emissions by around 140,000 tons per year.Panorama view of Santa Rosa 9MW

Greenhouse Gas Emission Management
Greenhouse Gas Emission ManagementSince 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.( Unit : tCO2-e )

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
