Essential Environmental Vision and Promotion System
In connection with a change from climate change to a period of climate crisis in which environment is an essential factor in management, we at KT have formulated Net Zero 2050, a new vision for environmental management.
We will be in promotion of two goals, i.e.
minimization of environmental impact by our business operation and maximization of environmental benefits from our services at the same time through positive use of our ABC (AI, BigData, Cloud) technologies to attain the objective of Net Zero (Carbon Neutrality) by 2050.
We will also continue to reduce GHGs, expand the use of renewable energy, and contribute to the country’s attainment of the goal Net-Zero.
