- 1) Scope 2 market-based emissions calculation based on CDP's global RE100 operating framework.
- 2) Scope 3 calculation scope: Categories 1-8, 10, 11, 13, and 15.
- 3) Recalculated based on the Separate Financial Statement Revenue
- 4) Shipment volume based on the total of Ulsan, Pyeongtaek, and G-Hub. (Due to the nature of our business, where sales revenue per unit is highly volatile depending on oil prices/exchange rates, we also manage a physical throughput unit based on product shipments to compensate)
- 5) 2023 emissions recalculated due to data calculation error.
- 6) Excluding REC and Green Premium values (as they represent renewable energy certification rather than actual electricity).
- 7) 2022 and 2023 data restated due to data summation error.
- 8) Renewable electricity usage rate = (Solar power + REC + Green Premium) / Total electricity consumption
- 9) Recycling Rate (ZWTL) = Total Recycled Quantity / (Total Waste Generated - Designated Waste Incinerated & Landfilled) * 100
- 10) Retabulation of 2022 and 2023 Figures Due to Change in Calculation Basis
