Structure of the responsible department

Operation of EHS Management Task Force

Solus Advanced Materials has formed an EHS task force to establish a safety and environmental management system (ISO 14001/45001), and continues to develop this system.
We are continuing to put our ESG management goals into practice by arranging ESG environmental personnel in the teams.

Waste management activities

Solus Advanced Materials legally transports and treats its own waste through the legal waste disposal system (All-baro System).
In accordance with Article 38 of the Waste Control Act, we submit an annual report on waste generation and treatment to local governments, and the results of the treatment are as follows.

The waste recycling rate at our domestic business site (Iksan) in 2024 is approximately 92%, and we are continuing our efforts to increase our recycling rate of waste organic solvents.
In 2025, we will contribute to achieving a circular economy through continuous activities to improve our waste recycling.
