Environmental Management /Activities

Korean Air continues to grow by harmonizing the environment and aviation transport.

Environmental Management System

All facets of the environmental management system of Korean Air, including general head office activities as well as those related to aircraft equipment, aerospace, in-flight meals, hotels, etc. are recognized with ISO14001 certification. Each division establishes a detailed plan of activities in stages based on the overall environmental policies, and through subsequent implementation and ongoing improvement cycles, the negative environmental impacts resulting from various business activities of the company are reduced.

Environmental Accident Countermeasure System

Various environmental accident scenarios are identified and subject to mock-up training in order to raise the awareness and preparation levels of employees in the case any such accident should occur and to minimize the resulting damage. In addition, via close cooperative links maintained with related organizations - such as the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, the Korea Airports Corporation, and various regional anti-pollution organizations - large coordinated responses are possible if necessary.

Environmental Education

To enhance overall environmental management capability, periodic environmental training sessions are held for all employees to increase their environmental awareness, and much effort is being invested in fostering environmental specialists who pass through a program of conservation courses. Moreover, employees are encouraged to become more familiar with domestic and international environmental trends and issues by attending outside training programs, seminars, and workshops
