Raw Materials Management
Policies are established to minimize unnecessary use of natural resources by utilizing raw materials efficiently.
Production processes are continuously improved to optimize material input, and raw materials are managed under planned production, considering business strategy, schedules, and inventory.
Recycling Production Waste
Metal waste such as iron and aluminum, as well as other waste and by-products like scrap wood and paper generated during raw material usage, are either recycled back into the production process or transferred and sold to external recycling facilities.
Inspection of Raw Material Sources
The use of raw materials produced in an environmentally friendly manner or certified as eco-friendly is encouraged.
In addition, raw materials produced at the expense of natural capital are tracked, and efforts are made to mitigate significant risks.

■ Water Resource Management
Recognizing the need to preserve a sustainable water environment, we seek ways to reduce and reuse water, while regularly inspecting and improving water facilities to ensure timely access to high-quality water during operations.
Water Recycling
Water Monitoring
Water Recycling
To enhance the sustainability of water resources, we continuously practice the 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—by conserving, reusing, and recycling water.
Water Monitoring
Strengthen monitoring of water usage, reuse, and wastewater discharge to ensure efficient water management within the facility.
■ Greenhouse Gas
Actively responding to climate change and aiming for Net Zero, we establish concrete measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, gradually transition to renewable energy systems, and implement carbon-neutral policies that include carbon absorption and offset activities, considering operational conditions.
Facility-Wide Reduction
Supply Chain Decarbonization
Products and Services
Facility-Wide Reduction
Achieve carbon neutrality through renewable energy adoption and energy efficiency improvements. Additionally, advance manufacturing technologies and platform innovations—such as eco-friendly smart factories—to establish carbon-neutral production bases.
Supply Chain Decarbonization
ChatGPT said:
Products and Services
Develop dedicated platforms and technologies for eco-friendly products, expand related infrastructure, and promote wider adoption of sustainable products and services to reduce emissions and greenhouse gases.
■ Waste Management
Reduce waste generated during operations and establish waste management and recycling policies to ensure efficient handling.
Waste Tracking Systems
Enhanced Recycling
Enhancing Waste Recycling
Waste Tracking Systems
Ensure that all waste generated at the facility is properly managed and traceable in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Enhanced Recycling
Determine the optimal disposal method based on the type and amount of waste generated during operations. This minimizes landfill and incineration rates while increasing waste recycling.
Enhancing Waste Recycling
Identify waste with high landfill or incineration rates in the production process and create an upcycling ecosystem that transforms it into new products and services, generating added value.
■ Environmental Pollution
Minimize negative impacts on the natural environment by reducing emissions of air and water pollutants, while prioritizing the safety and health of customers and employees.
Seohan Auto/NTN USA establishes and implements standards to manage the generation and discharge of pollutants in compliance with environmental laws and regulations in each country.
Air Pollutants
Water Pollutants
Air Pollutants
Monitor emissions of air pollutants and invest in reduction facilities and new technologies to ensure levels remain below legal limits.
Water Pollutants
Monitor the discharge levels of water pollutants, such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and operate treatment facilities to ensure compliance with legal discharge limits.
