Celltrion Pharmaceutical's emission pollutant management performance
Celltrion Pharmaceutical not only strictly adheres to legal emission limits to minimize the environmental impact from air and water pollutants but also establishes its own enhanced standards to manage these issues more rigorously. Through this approach, the company aims to prevent air and water pollution and contribute to sustainable environmental protection.

1. Air pollutants management
Celltrion Pharmaceutical regularly monitors air pollutants through biannual and monthly self-measurements and conducts daily inspections to ensure the proper operation of prevention facilities. Additionally, the company applies its own enhanced standards, which go beyond legal requirements, to strictly manage pollutants.
2. Water pollutants management
Celltrion Pharmaceutical conducts thorough water quality management through wastewater treatment monitoring, biannual self-measurements, and its own enhanced emission limit standards. Wastewater generated from production processes and utility facilities is treated at the in-plant wastewater treatment facility before being discharged to the industrial complex's public wastewater treatment facility, thereby minimizing water pollution.
1. Strengthening waste recycling
Celltrion Pharm has consistently improved its recycling rate from 2022 to the present. All sludge generated from the wastewater treatment process is fully recycled and used for fuel production, while recyclable waste organic solvents are also being recycled. Furthermore, the company plans to expand recycling efforts for currently non-recyclable waste in the future.

2. Water Resource Recycling and Minimization of Wastewater Discharge
Celltrion Pharm is striving to minimize water usage in its manufacturing processes and increase the rate of water reuse. The company has implemented water reuse facilities that recycle RO reject water generated during the pure water production process, reducing annual water consumption. Additionally, it continues to decrease the discharge of wastewater and sewage.

Celltrion Pharm is making various efforts to continuously reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To lower direct emissions (Scope 1), the company is implementing practical reduction measures such as transitioning internal combustion engine vehicles used for business purposes to eco-friendly vehicles and replacing boilers with ultra-low NOx burners. Additionally, to reduce indirect emissions (Scope 2), it has improved energy efficiency by introducing inverters in air conditioning systems, thereby further mitigating greenhouse gas emissions effectively. Moving forward, Celltrion Pharm plans to adopt solar power systems and install energy-efficient equipment, aiming for sustained emission reductions.
