Hyundai Movex announced that it has completed the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) verification for Platform Screen Doors (PSD) and Mechanical Gap Filler (MGF) as part of its ESG management.

 

The Environmental Product Declaration system is a system in which an independent third-party organization transparently examines the entire process of product production, from the extraction and supply of raw materials to the production of products, use, and disposal, and quantifies and displays the environmental impact of products or services. In particular, in the case of building materials, it is required as a mandatory document when supplying building materials to construction companies because it can receive additional points in eco-friendly building certification systems (BREEM, LEED, etc.).

 

In particular, Hyundai Movex completed EPD registration with EPD Norway, thereby completing International EPD registration through dual registration of MRA. In addition, this time, Hyundai Movex completed EPD verification from EPD Networks.

 

Hyundai Movex stated, “Since ESG is an inevitable requirement for global expansion in the future, we plan to further expand the verification of environmental performance labels for overseas business expansion,” and “In particular, we will grow the Cheongna R&D Center into a global-level research base representing eco-friendliness.”

 

Meanwhile, Hyundai Movex announced that it has decided to build a 2,563㎡ solar power generation facility in the Cheongna R&D Center, taking the first step toward achieving ‘RE100’ (supplying 100% of the power of the business site with renewable energy).

 

This facility is capable of producing 660,000 kWh of electricity per year, which is equivalent to the average monthly usage of approximately 1,600 households. Through this, we can expect to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 3,500 tons per year and have the effect of planting 14,000 zelkova trees.

 

In addition, by applying integrated (private and commercial) solar power facilities, it is expected that 100% of the Cheongna R&D Center's operations will be covered by eco-friendly electricity, and the remaining electricity can be sold externally, which will increase power generation revenue.
