Environmental Management Response Governance
ECO-FRIENDLY FACTORY MANAGEMENT
MCNEX is establishing and expanding environmental management throughout the organization
based on the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.
It has identified greenhouse gas emissions reduction, water usage reduction,
and the establishment of emission control systems as core environmental management tasks
and is actively pursuing related activities from a long-term perspective.
- GREENHOUSE GAS
- 2050 Carbon Neutrality Achieved
- WATER
- Introduction of Real-time monitoring of wastewater treatment and Regenerative Management System
- POLLUTANTS
- Establishment of a Waste management system such as air, waste, and chemicals
WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Our manufacturing facility in Vietnam operates its own wastewater treatment system that complies with the quality standards of wastewater treatment and monitors in real time with the Vietnam Environment Agency.
REGENERATIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Vietnamese plant is operating with a 45-50% water supply reduction after the introduction of a regeneration system, and the external wastewater volume is reduced by 50%, contributing to environmental protection. MCNEX conducts risk analysis of water resources from business activities every year and operates strict internal water quality management standards.
WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Through site management supervision, 3R5S, and five-stage collection of general waste, a thorough plan is established to reduce waste generated at workplaces, and various waste treatment management is carried out by sep-arating it into general waste and hazardous waste to improve resource efficiency.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Vietnam plant is operating efficient energy saving between 55% and 80%. Also, Clean room design and construction completely blocks heat generated by external structures to minimize solar radiation, and the exterior walls and clean room walls are made of materials that can withstand fire at 280℃ for more than 30 minutes.

CLIMATE CHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT
- MCNEX has analyzed the impact of the climate crisis on its business and identified materiality issues to devise response strategies. Through this, it has identified climate change risks such as natural disasters and rising energy prices and continues to improve the risk management process derived to minimize these risks.
