Climate Change Response
HanmiGlobal follows the recommendations of TCFD (Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosure) to conduct climate scenario analysis and publicly disclose the climate change response process in line with our information disclosure framework.
Governance
Managing and Overseeing Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities at the Board Level
Since 2021, HanmiGlobal has established an ESG Committee within the board to manage and oversee climate change initiatives via the highest decision-making body. The committee is chaired by an independent director, with independent directors comprising a majority of the committee members to ensure the independence of the board’s climate change oversight function. Each year, in June, the ESG Committee evaluates the materiality of ESG issues, including climate change, and sets long-term climate change response goals, such as HanmiGlobal’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target.
Management’s Role in Evaluating and Managing Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities
Since 2021, the CEO has been appointed as a member of the ESG Committee, leading the implementation of climate strategies across the company. The CEO and senior executives share climate policy trends, corporate strategies from domestic and international companies, and the company’s environmental innovation initiatives through the “CEO’s Corner,” strengthening communication both internally and externally. The Construction Strategy Research Institute, as the lead organization, collaborates closely with affiliated business units and subsidiaries in the ESG Working Group to drive climate change strategies forward.
Strategy
Climate-Related Risk Management Process
HanmiGlobal identifies physical and transition risks and opportunities arising from climate change by analyzing the potential changes in the business environment. Using the IPCC RCP scenarios and the IEA and NGFS base scenarios, we assess the impacts of low-carbon, intermediate, and high-carbon scenarios. This allows us to evaluate potential policies, technology, market changes, and the likelihood of natural disasters, helping us formulate a response strategy. We also set sector-specific reduction targets and implementation plans to strengthen the foundation for sustainable growth.
Climate Change Scenario Analysis
Impact of Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities on the Organization’s Business, Strategy, and Financial Plans
HanmiGlobal has identified both short-term and long-term risks and opportunities related to climate change across the entire value chain. These issues have been grouped into an issue pool, and through materiality assessments, 15 key issues were identified that require action. These include reduced labor efficiency due to the impacts of rapid climate change on projects, increased costs related to decarbonization efforts as demand rises for energy-efficient and resource-conserving workplaces, and the need to expand R&D efforts in response to growing market demand for energy-efficient buildings. The identified issues were evaluated in terms of their potential financial impact on the company, as well as the likelihood and magnitude of their occurrence.

Risk Management
Process for Identifying, Assessing , and Managing Climate-Related Risks
HanmiGlobal operates an enterprise-wide risk management (ERM) framework that covers identification, assessment, and response and post-response monitoring across every business area. During project development and investment, risks are managed systematically for both the front-end and operational phases so that counter measures are optimized for each stage. When a potential climate-related risk is detected, the escalation path is: Dedicated Risk Unit → Risk Owner → C Level. Under the company’s ISO 14001 environmental management system, major climate-related risks are monitored according to documented procedures, and follow-up actions are executed by the relevant units.
Escalation Structure for Climate-Related Issues
ISO 14001 Certification
Climate Related Materiality Assessment Process
HanmiGlobal identifies climate risks and opportunities that could materially affect the business, quantifies their potential financial impact, and builds response plans. Guided by the TCFD recommendations, the company applies a step-by-step materiality procedure in which the relevant functions first surface transition/physical risks and opportunities, then are evaluated by internal and external experts to create the materiality pool. Each factor is scored quantitatively on its business impact, considering time horizon (Duration), impact size (Magnitude), and likelihood of occurrence (Likelihood). Stakeholder feedback from the responsible departments is incorporated to ensure the robustness and practical relevance of the results.
Indicators and Reduction Targets
Indicators Used to Evaluate Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities
HanmiGlobal is not classified as a Greenhouse Gas and Energy Target Management entity under Korea’s Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth, yet it voluntarily collects, monitors, and discloses GHG and energy-related data to strengthen its climate response. In line with the Ministry of Environment’s Guidelines on Reporting and Verification of Emissions for the ETS, the company tracks and seeks to reduce emissions that fall within its operational control boundary. Because HanmiGlobal’s project management workforces often share offices or site facilities with clients and contractors, the indicators currently managed focus on activities the company can directly verify—namely, energy and electricity consumed at headquarters and fuel used by HQ and project vehicles—which together provide a reliable basis for evaluating climate-related risks and opportunities.
- ※ The 2020 and 2021 disclosure figures were restated after HanmiGlobal revised the floor area criteria for domestic sites.
- ※ Because the data are compiled for internal headquarters (HQ) management rather than for a company-wide inventory, only activities that the firm can track directly are included.
- 1 Direct emissions from natural gas consumption at HQ plus fuel burned by company vehicles operating at HQ and project sites
- 2 Indirect energy emissions from electricity used at HQ
- 3 Emission intensity is calculated by dividing total GHG emissions by revenue reported in the separate (non-consolidated) statement of profit and loss.
- ※ The 2020 and 2021 energy figures were also restated owing to an expanded boundary and new floor area criteria.
- 1 ”Total energy use” combines HQ natural gas and electricity with fuel consumed by HQ and site vehicles; the latter is estimated from fuel invoices and mileage records for the company fleet.
- 2 Energy use intensity is total energy use divided by revenue in the separate (non-consolidated) statement of profit and loss.
Climate Targets Used to Manage Risks, Opportunities, and Performance
In its 2027 Vision, HanmiGlobal embedded ESG management and set medium to long-term climate goals, strategic tasks, KPIs, and unit-level action plans. Taking 2022 as the base year, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 + 2 emissions by 20 percent by 2030, equivalent to an average annual reduction of about 2.5 percent. Because HanmiGlobal’s core business is engineering-based project management services, revenue growth typically requires more personnel and, therefore, greater travel, leading to higher energy use and GHG emissions. For that reason, the company will manage performance against both an absolute emissions target and an emissions intensity target, ensuring that improvements keep pace with business expansion.
Environmental Management
HanmiGlobal engages in a wide range of projects that advance Korea’s 2050 carbon-neutral roadmap, including green upgrades of urban, spatial, and life service infrastructure, deployment of low-carbon/distributed energy, and development of an innovation ecosystem for green industries. Because construction inevitably disturbs the natural environment, conflicts between preservation and development can easily arise. A system that respects environmental values throughout every project phase—planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance—is therefore essential. As an engineering company that delivers development, design, construction management, and EPC services, HanmiGlobal prioritizes eco-friendly construction and contributes to society’s climate response goals.
Waste Reduction and Circular Resource Use
Use of Circular Materials
By applying green building guidelines and giving preference to circular materials, HanmiGlobal reduces the environmental footprint of its projects. The company specifies products that carry the Korea Eco Label, GR certification, Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), low carbon credentials, and recycled content ratings, and then supervises site execution accordingly. Working closely with owners, HanmiGlobal’s PM and environmental consulting teams ensure that major interior, exterior, and ancillary materials meet requirements for resource circularity and low hazardous substance content.
Building Resource Circulation Facilities
Leveraging its accumulated know-how and eco-innovative technologies gained through years of construction management and EPC assignments, HanmiGlobal is at the forefront of delivering high-efficiency resource circulation and waste treatment facilities that tackle environmental challenges. The firm has managed incinerators, plastic recycling plants, and organics recycling facilities, proactively supporting the green transition of waste and life service infrastructure. Acting as PM, HanmiGlobal oversees technology, schedule, safety , environmental quality, performance testing, and permits; on selected projects, it also takes full responsibility from early planning through EPC completion.
Project Highlight – GE Chemical Household Waste Recycling Plant
The plant processes 135 t per day of waste plastic (115 t per day of PET bales and 20 t per day of PE/PP bales). Drawing on its specialized engineering capabilities in resource circulation facilities, HanmiGlobal participated in every project phase, including design, construction, and operation, to maximize the efficient recycling of single-use plastics. Backed by proven state-of-the-art equipment and the company’s accumulated expertise, the facility was planned as an upgraded next-generation plant that incorporates every “lesson learned” from earlier resource circulation projects.
Biodiversity Protection
From the planning stage onward, HanmiGlobal proactively analyzes potential ecological impacts on each site and its surroundings, then reviews design options and construction methods that help preserve local habitats and species diversity. Through formal environmental impact assessments, the Company identifies endangered species, natural monuments, and other protected flora and fauna near the project area, and implements measures such as habitat conservation or creation of substitute habitats.

Raising Environmental Awareness
Environmental Training
HanmiGlobal offers structured training to deepen employees’ environmental awareness and to strengthen their ability to deliver green construction projects. In 2024, the Company analyzed how a carbon-neutral economy would reshape the construction industry from multiple angles and then convened external experts, senior management, and staff to discuss related opportunities. Through GPMU (Global PM University), additional courses covered ESG management, green architecture, and renewable energy projects, enabling employees to align with corporate strategy while upgrading site-level environmental management skills. HanmiGlobal will continue to expand its full-life-cycle environmental training programs, extending opportunities to affiliates and project partners to accelerate pollution reduction efforts.
Community Contribution Activities at Project Sites
Since its founding in 1996, HanmiGlobal has practiced unit-level community contribution activities under its core culture of “Happiness Management,” whose mission is to create a great workplace and ensure employee happiness. With roughly 200 project organizations worldwide, site teams voluntarily design and carry out activities suited to their local context, ranging from neighborhood clean-ups to team-based plogging, to benefit surrounding communities. These community service efforts are reflected in each unit’s KPIs and actively promoted company-wide.

Expanding the Scope of Eco-Friendly Services
HanmiGlobal recognizes the significance of the building sector, which accounts for 32.8 percent of Korea’s 2050 carbon-neutral target, and is committed to helping achieve that goal through technology development and advanced engineering solutions. Effective carbon reduction in Korean construction requires a clear understanding of where and how emissions occur across the entire project life cycle, from financing, planning, and design to material production and transport, construction, and operations. Studies show that embodied carbon in building materials and operational carbon during the use phase together represent more than 80 percent of a project’s life cycle emissions.
Responding to this challenge, HanmiGlobal is taking the lead in low-carbon design using timber, in top-tier building energy management systems, and in engineering for offshore wind facilities. From early planning and design through construction and operations, the Company will deliver technology-based solutions that combine specialist engineering, green technologies tailored to each project, and disciplined project management, thereby benefitting clients and local communities alike. Dedicated operating teams, staffed by experts in each discipline, will apply differentiated technical capabilities to enhance sustainability throughout the full life cycle of every project. Over the past two decades, HanmiGlobal has continually upgraded the functionality of its consulting, system, and solution offerings, with the ultimate aim of becoming a total green solution provider that lets clients access all environment, energy, and climate change services through a single integrated platform.

Carbon Reduction Engineering
Whole Building Carbon Management via Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Current Korean building policies focus mainly on cutting operational energy use. Green Building Certification, for example, addresses resource-efficient materials, eco-label products, and low-carbon materials. Still, it does not yet account for the carbon released during material production or at the end-of-life stage. HG PRECON team, therefore, adds carbon reduction design control and whole building LCA to the usual management set of design review, cost control, scheduling, and quality assurance. The team is building a standardized system that sets criteria for low-emission materials in the production phase and measures environmental impacts at demolition. This approach moves beyond energy saving regulations to deliver truly green construction by evaluating materials and use and end-of-life impacts across the entire building life cycle.
Key Management Items and Analysis Systems for Carbon Reduction Engineering
Managing a building’s environmental impact must move beyond energy use reduction to include sustainable material choices that cut emissions at the production stage
. For that reason, life cycle assessment of the entire building is essential.
Using Renewable Resources such as Solar Power and Geothermal Energy
To achieve carbon-neutral goals, it is essential to reduce building energy consumption and draw on renewable sources. Efficient use of natural energy, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays and geothermal heat pump (GHP) systems, cuts operational carbon while improving overall energy performance. In the long run, these technologies lower utility costs and deliver environmental benefits, raising a building’s sustainability profile and accelerating the transition to a net-zero society.
Gak Sejong Data Center Project
Gak Sejong, NAVER’s newest hyperscale data center, combines state-of-the-art technology with nature-friendly design to promote a sustainable future. By harnessing rooftop solar PV and geothermal heat pump technology, the campus prioritizes lowering electricity demand and the related CO₂ emissions. The facility occupies 293,963 m²—roughly 41 soccer fields—and is six times larger than the company’s first data center (Gak Chuncheon). Solar PV panels installed on the server hall roof generate 184 MWh of electricity per year, while geothermal heat pumps deliver efficient heating and cooling, saving 13,363 MWh annually. Thanks to sustainable land use, energy and air quality measures, indoor environmental quality, and six other evaluation categories, HanmiGlobal secured LEED Platinum certification for Gak Sejong.

Looking ahead, HanmiGlobal plans to expand its research portfolio and further enhance its knowledge management infrastructure. Key goals include identifying topics that foster structural improvement and public consensus within the industry, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and implementing a knowledge fusion platform that connects and integrates diverse data sets. By systematically capturing staff expertise and ideas, the company aims to boost project productivity, eliminate inefficiencies, and make optimal use of limited resources, thereby laying the groundwork for a more sustainable construction ecosystem.
Contracted Research and External Commissions
Since its founding, the HanmiGlobal Construction Strategy Research Institute has completed 24 internally contracted studies and 27 externally commissioned projects. Between 2003 and 2024, the institute published 24 volumes based on its findings. In 2024, the rise of AI Transformation (AX) and rapid advances in IT began reshaping economic systems and lifestyles, fueling shifts in Korea’s construction market toward hydrogen energy, digital platforms, modular construction, and other emerging fields. Capitalizing on a recent nuclear power contract in the Czech Republic, HanmiGlobal is exploring additional opportunities in the Middle East and South Asia and is currently carrying out research such as “Optimal Organizational Structures and Models for New Nuclear Projects” and “Predictive Cost Index Modeling for FAB Construction,” which have been commissioned to leading domestic and overseas institutions to strengthen the company’s ability to navigate future industry changes.
Publication of Construction Innovation Research Books
The Construction Strategy Research Institute continually expands its talent pool by recruiting experts with master’s and doctoral degrees and licensed professional engineers from Korea and abroad. Working through an extensive network of public research bodies and private R&D centers, the institute conducts joint studies and publishes the findings in book form to advance Korea’s construction industry.
HG TECH NEWS
HG Tech News is a newsletter jointly produced by the Construction Strategy Research Institute, the Engineering Office, and the AX Office under the Chief Technology Officer to deliver HanmiGlobal’s technical case studies and insights on the global construction market. Researchers from the Korean American Construction Engineering and Project Management Association (KACEPMA), a strategic partner, contribute analyses of the latest international technology trends. The 2024 edition comprised twenty articles organized into four themes—construction and ESG, digital transformation and technological innovation, the future of construction project management, and recent industry developments and implications—and was distributed to all employees. The annual collection was subsequently published as a book and shared with HanmiGlobal’s clients.
Knowledge Management System
HanmiGlobal’s knowledge management system enables employees to share, study, and leverage one another’s know-how, thereby generating new knowledge across the organization. Work outputs created in day-to-day operations are systematically registered and reused to accelerate business processes. To date, more than 1.3 million knowledge entries have been uploaded. Each contribution is evaluated, rewarded with individual points, and considered in the quarterly selection of “Top Knowledge Contributors,” keeping employees motivated to create and share content.
Employee Inventions
In parallel with continuous knowledge sharing, HanmiGlobal operates an employee invention program and currently holds 50 patents (47 in Korea, three overseas). In 2024, the company registered a new AI-enabled construction patent—“Method for Providing Concrete Strength Prediction Data and Computing Device Using Same” (Korean Patent No. 10 2774503). The in-house idea proposal platform has also been revamped to encourage staff to freely submit and discuss innovative concepts.
Community of Practice (CoP)
A CoP is an action-oriented group in which employees with shared interests exchange and integrate knowledge to enhance both personal and corporate capabilities. In 2024, ten CoP teams, covering topics such as smart-building IT solutions, multifamily PM practices, and architectural structures, were actively engaged. Their achievements were showcased at a company-wide forum, and the best CoP was turned into online learning content for distribution throughout the firm.
Q&A Board
The Q&A board allows employees to post questions encountered during projects and receive answers or opinions from colleagues. This feature reduces the time and effort needed to locate critical information, and specialized questions can be routed to subject matter experts when necessary. By capturing seasoned professionals’ know-how and circulating it among teams, the board reinforces a virtuous cycle of knowledge accumulation, sharing, and application, ultimately strengthening HanmiGlobal’s collective expertise.
