In order to minimize impact on the environment during overall lifecycle of real-estate development of green buildings, we consider land use and convenience, ecology and indoor environment, energy and environmental pollution, ease of maintenance, use of raw materials and resources, and water resource management. We promote real estate development projects with the objective of obtaining green building certification for all commercial and residential buildings. We strive to acquire third-party certifications such as G-SEED certification and Building Energy Efficiency certification.

To respond to the growing consumer demand for green buildings and achieve sustainable development and advancement, we take an eco-friendly design approach to developing work and residential spaces. We consider the design with an environmental point of view and use green-certified materials when constructing our buildings as well as implementing a range of technologies to manage water circulation, conserve energy and resources, reduce the discharge of pollutants, and mitigate energy consumption and GHG emission from buildings. Also, we have included various eco-friendly factors in spaces operated by SK D&D as environmental management becomes a key factor in products and services used by customers. We will continue to promote our projects to enable third-party assurance for SK D&D’s development businesses and residential spaces. In addition, we will continue to mitigate environmental impact in operation stage to provide services enabling green GHG reduction activities led by our customers.

We are realizing environmental values by revitalizing cities through remodeling projects. We provide pleasant and healthy living environments by improving energy efficiency through enhancing insulation and facilities as well as the interior and exterior of deteriorated buildings. We plan to put more efforts into the green remodeling project in line with major policies for implementation of national carbon neutrality.

SK D&D remodeled the old Myeongdong N Building of Sunkyung Textile Co., Ltd., the former body of SK Networks. The building was successfully remodeled into a prime office building in harmony with the surrounding environment through functional improvements as well as a design maintaining the sense of proportion of the existing building.

We carry out urban renewal projects to restore the urban functions in areas with poor maintenance infrastructure and high concentration of outdated buildings. We have developed a business hotel in the underdeveloped parts of Myeongdong area and a prime-class office near City-Hall Station according to the Basic Plan for Urban and Residential Environment, carrying out environmental improvements in the local community near Seoul Station. We are improving the quality of residential spaces and its environment for customer’s lifestyle in underdeveloped areas through various urban redevelopment projects.

We have applied lifecycle evaluation to episode development and have proceeded with eco-friendly design considering all processes. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) refers to the method of evaluating the environmental impact of inputs and outputs in the entire development process. We are deriving and managing the results of characterization values such as global warming (GWP) for the impact of buildings on the environment from raw material collection to disposal.

The accelerating shift in consumer perceptions concerning the environment amid the global climate crisis underscores the importance of environmental performance of products and services. SK D&D manages residential and work spaces built with diverse eco-friendly considerations to respond to shifting customer needs and deliver further improved work/living space experience. Going forward, we will deliver services conducive to eco-friendliness and GHG emissions reduction on the part of our customers to mitigate our environmental impact in the building management and use phases.

We operate residential and work spaces reflecting eco-friendly factors in order to respond to changes in customer needs and provide a higher level of spatial experience. Furthermore, we develop improvement plans by collecting and managing environmental performance in accordance with waste, water resources, and GHG emissions generated by Episode buildings, establishing and promoting plans to reduce environmental impact tailored to the current situation of each Episode site. This enables us to actively promote environmental management at not only SK D&D’s business sites, but also across investment.
