As uncertainty over energy supply from the Middle East grows, Hanwha Group also decided to join the government's energy-saving policy.
Hanwha Group said on the 25th it will actively push energy saving, including implementing a 10-day vehicle rotation system at all affiliates and business sites in Korea.
First, Hanwha Group decided to implement the 10-day vehicle rotation system. Vehicles whose license plate ends with the same digit as the date will not operate on that day. Pregnant employees and vehicles with infants on board, and vehicles used by people with disabilities are exempt.
It will also cut electricity use in offices and business sites. The company will actively use PC power-saving modes and cut power to office equipment after work. It will adjust HVAC in unused spaces such as meeting rooms and training rooms, and tighten indoor temperature standards while also curbing the use of personal heating and cooling devices.
To improve efficiency in lighting and facility operations, it will reduce illumination levels in common areas such as hallways, lobbies, restrooms and parking lots. Nighttime exterior lighting will also be minimized.
These measures are set to take effect starting on the 26th with voluntary participation by employees.
A Hanwha Group official said, "We will actively participate until the government's energy-saving policy and the 'Energy-Saving National Action' campaign end."
