Environmental Risk Assessment

SK ecoengineering conducts monthly environmental risk assessments to comply with environmental laws and regulations, through which we identify potential environmental risks by sector and establish and implement action plans. Beyond regulatory compliance, we actively prepare mitigation measures to minimize the negative impacts that our business activities may have on the surrounding environment, including air, soil, water quality, and biodiversity. In particular, in 2024, through risk analysis by environmental impact factors, we identified unauthorized discharge and environmental regulation violations as major risks. Each risk is classified by severity according to its impact level on the local community, and we establish and implement response measures for each environmental impact factor considering the potential financial impact on the company.

Business Site Environmental Risk Response

SK ecoengineering promptly implements improvement measures according to the business site environmental risk response process when environmental regulation non-compliance occurs. Issues that arise are reported to the CEO and responsible executives, and after cause analysis, recurrence prevention measures are established and disseminated to related sites and business offices. Subsequently, we continuously monitor regulatory compliance through staff training, provision of environmental management guides by work type and pollution source, and regular and special inspections led by headquarters. In 2024, we achieved zero environmental regulation violations by performing early project support and periodic thematic inspections (waste, fugitive dust, noise and vibration, etc.). Additionally, we have established guidelines for environmental accident prevention and emergency response for all domestic and overseas business sites, and conduct emergency response training annually. In case of accidents, we immediately block pollution spread through emergency reporting and rapid response, and prevent secondary damage through pollution removal and recovery work after the situation ends.

Business Site Environmental Risk Response Process
Environmental Compliance

SK ecoengineering thoroughly reviews legal risks that may arise from business activities to comply with major domestic and international environmental laws and regulations. To systematically manage risks, environmental regulation violation levels are classified into 'major violations' and 'general violations' according to severity, and we strictly comply with domestic and international environmental regulations based on our environmental management policy. As a result, we have had zero environmental regulation violations since our finding 1)

Management by Environmental Factor Waste and Resource Circulation

SK ecoengineering systematically manages the entire process from waste generation to storage and treatment to minimize the environmental impact of waste generated during construction projects. In particular, to improve problems with inadequate separation, sorting, and storage, we have mandated the installation and operation of waste separation facilities at all sites, and introduced waste reduction measures for each construction stage, including minimizing mixed waste, recycling construction sludge, and expanding the application of low-waste construction methods. Additionally, we integrate and manage waste discharge and treatment information through our self-developed system, and actively utilize this for establishing waste reduction targets.

Construction Waste Treatment Process
Waste Generation

SK ecoengineering has set waste generation intensity as a key indicator to reduce waste generation and systematically manages performance against targets annually. Reduction targets are calculated based on the average waste generation intensity of the previous three years to maintain a continuous reduction trend. To achieve targets, we are promoting various reduction activities such as resource efficiency and recycling expansion within business sites. The 2025 waste generation intensity target was 7.61 tons/100 million KRW, and the actual performance was 9.15 tons/100 million KRW.

Environmental Hazard Factor Inspection and Monitoring System

SK ecoengineering operates inspection processes and monitoring systems to manage individual environmental hazard factors such as waste, water quality, and air pollutants. Using the 'Environmental Management Implementation Inspection Checklist,' we conduct inspections by item including project systems, permits, operational management, and prevention and suppression facilities. We have also developed a 'Site Environmental Issue-Focused Management Standard Model' for each site to independently inspect environmental issues. In particular, we are strengthening periodic inspections of major processes, focusing on six non-conformity items including turbid water discharge, cleaning wastewater leakage, waste treatment violations, and fugitive dust generation.
