Environmental Management
Ⅰ. Environmental Management System (ISO14001:2015)
In 1995, we obtained BS7750, the UK's environmental management standard for the first time in the industry. In the following year, we obtained ISO 14001('96.9.1) certification from BVQI, an international certification body. Received re-certification from the Korean Standards Association (KSA) for revised ISO14001:2004('07.4.3), we are applying it to all the services currently provided by Asiana Airlines such as ramp operation, cargo operation, fueling operation.
Thus, in order to minimize the environmental impact of products, activities and services, we set environmental management goals and policies and define the structure, responsibilities and procedures of the organization to achieve them, and then we are doing our best to distribute human and material resources within the enterprise efficiently and manage them systematically.
After that, we passed the re-certification twice ('98. 9 / '01.11) and re-acquired ISO14001: 2004 ('07 .4) by changing the certification body to Korea Standards Association in December 2003 and are committed to continuous innovation to continuously improve the environmental impact caused by creating the best service to our customers by re-certifying ISO14001: 2009 ('10 .4) and ISO14001: 2015 ('17 .12) in accordance with the changes in the certification standard.
Ⅱ. Environmental management activity
Waste management
Anti/De-Icing wastewater generated during Anti/De-Icing operations for safe operation of airplanes is the designated waste, which accounts for the largest portion of the waste we discharge. We actively participate in environmental protection and resource recycling by collecting Anti/De-Icing liquid containing propylene glycol as a main component and recycling more than 80% of it through a legitimate waste treatment company after use. We also treat all kinds of wastes generated during the maintenance of vehicles and equipments properly through waste disposal companies in compliance with the treatment deadline.
Air pollutant management
Air pollutants discharged by our company are divided into exhaust gases of vehicles and equipment and air exhaust facilities. We measure and inspect exhaust gases of all vehicles and equipment at least once a quarter and manage them within 90% of the legal standard. In addition, we entrust air discharge facilities to a environmental pollutant measurement company and minimize the emission of air pollutants by managing them to less than 30% of emission limit through continuous monitoring pollutant measurement 2 times per year.
Water pollutant management
The wastewater discharged from the cleaning process of vehicles and equipment is subjected to primary physical pre-treatment at our company and is finally treated at the joint wastewater treatment plant and discharged to the retarding basin, and we legally entrust the wastewater discharged from the cleaning process of carpets in airplanes to a professional wastewater treatment company. Through these actions, we try to prevent water pollution. In addition, the airport corporation is monitoring the emission facilities every half a year to ensure the prevention of pollution accidents.
