Net-Zero 2040
SK Square has set 2040, earlier than 2050, as the target year for achieving carbon neutrality, based on the RCP Scenario1) and the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming 1.5˚C2). This target is 10 years earlier than the national target(NDC) of 2050 for green house gas reduction. The RCP scenario considered RCP 4.5(moderate scenario) and RCP 8.5(unmitigated greenhouse gas emission growth). In order to limit the global average temperature rise by 1.5℃, we engage in direct reduction activities by shifting to electric vehicles and indirect reduction activities by purchasing renewable energy. We plan to continue to implement active climate change response activities by joining RE100 in the future.
