[Consumerwide_Hayoung Chang Reporter/Yohan Bok Reporter] Businesses are accepting solar systems and signing up for environmentally related MOUs to stand against climate change and reduce carbon emissions. LG Unicharm is accepting solar systems, aiming to reduce 163 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions annually by 2030.

DGB signed an MOU with the Climate Change Centre to reduce carbon emissions. S-OIL and Shinhan Bank signed the ESG treaty.

LG Unicharm, which is a combination of LGH&H and Japanese Unicharm, began accepting solar systems targeting reducing 163 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions annually by 2030 as a part of their ESG management plan. LG Unicharm is planning to reduce approx. 34% of CO2 emissions in 2030 by facilitating their solar panels, which account for 50.5% of the entire Gumi factory roof, which is going to be completed on installation in June 2024, as well as stations. The electric energy of the Gyoungbuk Gumi factory of LG Unicharm, which is one of their major manufacturing cities, emits 95.7% of the entire CO2 emissions from the Gumi factory. An associated person from LG Unicharm emphasised that they are striving to pass on safe products and valuable customer experiences. As a part of their plan, all their staff have been trying to approach sustainable growth in each environment, social contribution, and transparent ethical management by facilitating an ESG committee."

DGB (Daegu Bank) signed a treaty with the Climate Change Centre to reduce carbon emissions for carbon neutralisation while responding to climate change. The CCC, which is an NGO in response to climate change, is made up of domestic and overseas climate change and ESG management-related expert committees, and they are facilitating various projects, including a developing country's climate change response project and an Asian forestation project. DGB is planning to carry on a "Carbon Credit Transaction Platform Utilisation Project" with the Climate Change Centre in order to achieve global carbon neutralisation and respond to climate change.

S-OIL signed the "ESG financial support treat for low-carbon transformation" in cooperation with Shinhan Bank, which aims to stand against the climate crisis while providing competitive financial support aiming to achieve low-carbon transformation. S-OIL and Shinhan Bank also plan to invest in various sectors of environmental business. In particular, Shinhan is going to communicate with S-OIL so that they may have access to government subsidies regarding new environmental facilities for hydrogen, bioenergy, and battery energy. This MOU is aiming to support S-Oil, an oil business, which is one of the industries known for emitting a huge amount of carbon, after having a number of months of discussions regarding an effective approach to the climate crisis by both companies. S-OIL has been hosting the second level of the petrochemistry project, "Shine Project,", which aims to construct an excellent low-carbon manufacturing system in the same category of industry by performing high energy efficiency and changing the nature of their business through expanding the petrochemistry business sector in their business, and which is planned to be completed by the end of the year. Besides, they are progressing in improving energy efficiency in the current facilities while expanding the eco-friendly new energy business, including hydrogen.
