Dongin Kiyeon Co., Ltd., a global outdoor brand ODM specialist, announced on the 8th that it has completed the construction of a solar power generation facility at its Gimpo headquarters. This is the second facility expansion following the expansion of its Vietnam production subsidiary (DIVN), and is seen as a significant step toward laying the foundation for a corporate-level transition to renewable energy and RE100 implementation.
The solar power facility recently installed at the Gimpo headquarters is capable of producing approximately 318,854 kWh of electricity annually, equivalent to approximately 24.8% of total electricity consumption. This is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 146.3 tons annually, contributing to greenhouse gas reduction and the achievement of carbon neutrality.
RE100 (Renewable Electricity 100%) is a global campaign that commits companies to source 100% of their electricity from renewable energy. Dong-In Energy is pursuing a gradual transition to renewable energy, leveraging the solar power infrastructure built at its Vietnam production facility, including the Gimpo headquarters facility.
As the importance of ESG management to address climate change grows, the global outdoor industry is increasingly demanding sustainable production methods. For example, outdoor brand Arc'teryx announced a plan to reduce indirect greenhouse gas emissions by 42% across its supply chain by 2030. Consequently, suppliers are also increasing their use of renewable energy and carbon reduction efforts.
Dong-In Kiyeon is converting its Vietnamese production facility to an ESG manufacturing system and plans to sequentially expand solar power facilities at its Philippine production facility. Through this company-wide expansion of its eco-friendly infrastructure, the company aims to meet the sustainable management standards of its global customers, achieve RE100, and secure long-term eco-friendly manufacturing competitiveness.
