ESG stands for Environment, Social Responsibility, and Governance, which refers to that sustainable growth is available only when companies take the lead in protecting the environment and implement ESG management activities including social contribution and ethical management activities such as support for the socially disadvantaged and the creation of a gender-equal workplace culture. 

In the European Union and the United States, it is already a significant criterion for evaluating companies, and it is now spreading worldwide. It is not yet common in Korea, but DKT has been practicing ESG management since the establishment.

Our company is the corporate that develops and supplies FPCA modules via SMT (Surface Mount Technology), and to implement this, it goes through diverse processes and environmental pollutants are emitted from each process. We have obtained and maintained ISO14001 (Environmental Management System) and ISO45001 (Safety and Health Management System), which are international certification standards. Our company properly operates prevention facilities to discharge wastewater and air pollutants containing certain harmful substances below the permissible standards demanded by the Environment Related Act. In particular, we separate recyclable types of industrial wastes generated and induce resource recycling. Moreover, we continuously manage periodic measurement, problem extraction, and improvement to check the proper treatment of emission pollutants. Our company manages major pollutant items that are discharged and managed annually in accordance with the standards set by the Enforcement Rules of the Clean Air Conservation Act.

Our company has an awareness of fair trade via regular fair trade education and anti-corruption education and complies with fair trade policies and regulations via the establishment of in-house ethical management regulations and compliance with ethical management. We focus on fair competition and actively reflect it via surveys and opinions from our employees by signing a fair trade agreement with our partners.

DKT respects the human rights of its employees and stakeholders and strives to practice human rights management in order to fulfill its commitment to socially responsible management. To prevent direct and indirect human rights violations, DKT has established and complies with policies and standards including its Occupational Health and Safety Policy, Environmental Policy, Ethical Recruitment Standards, and Supplier Code of Conduct.

DKT Co., Ltd. actively participates in community contribution initiatives and carries out various social contribution activities through the voluntary participation of its employees. We strive to operate meaningful social contribution programs that provide practical support to local communities and can be sustained over the long term.

DKT believes that sharing the value created through its business activities with the local community is an important corporate social responsibility. We regularly provide support to local child welfare facilities and help children grow in a healthy and safe environment. Based on the voluntary participation of our employees, we practice various forms of sharing, including donations of goods, volunteer activities, and regular visits, and aim to grow together with the local community through mutual cooperation.

In accordance with our social contribution policy, DKT carries out a variety of community engagement activities. In 2020, we conducted the “DKT HOPE” fundraising campaign and home visits to support neighbors in need within the local community. We also participate annually in the “Blood Donation of Love” campaign organized by the industrial complex labor union. Since 2021, we have established a CSR team to plan and carry out volunteer programs and campaigns for both local communities and employees.
