FA L L 2 0 2 5 C O M M U N I T Y M A G A Z I N E 6 5 By Brent Fischthal, Head of Global Marketing, Koh Young Technology K oh Y oung has taken several measurable steps toward a more sustainable future. Its holistic approach reflects a deep understanding that sustainability and inno- vation are not competing priorities but mutually reinforcing forces that shape a more prosperous, responsible, and future-ready enterprise. Addressing Climate Change With Measurable Action We view climate change as a fundamental threat and have committed to measur- able, high-impact action. In 2023, we completed RE100 consulting to establish a long-term decarbonization strategy and followed through with investments in renewable energy, including a 75 kW rooftop solar installation at our Seoul R&D center. This project alone is expected to generate 95,396 kWh annually and reduce emissions by 44 tCO₂eq (a measurement unit used to evaluate the impact of dif- ferent greenhouse gases on the environment and to cumulate their emissions). Fleet electrification efforts are also well underway: 50 of 97 corporate vehi- cles are electric, with seven more conversions planned by 2025. Plans are in place to pursue ISO 50001 Energy Management certification, institutionalizing energy-saving practices. These actions cut emissions and lower operating costs, enhance energy resilience, and support broader decarbonization goals.
