The company’s participants consisted of newly hired employees in 2026, for whom the event served as an opportunity to deepen their understanding of environmental protection and experience the value of shared growth with the local community. The event was designed to raise awareness of the importance of forests and to promote their public value through citizen-participatory tree-planting activities. Participants planted approximately 4,500 cypress trees—selected for their contributions to air purification and ecosystem improvement—across an area of 2.9 hectares (approximately 8,800 pyeong) in Gyoro-ri, Seokmun-myeon, Dangjin City, while also carrying out site maintenance and environmental improvement activities. This initiative is expected to expand green spaces in the region and contribute to creating a more pleasant living environment. Through this activity, Taihan plans to further strengthen cooperation with local communities while continuously expanding its environmental social contribution initiatives. In particular, the company aims to enhance awareness of environmental protection and deliver measurable environmental impact through hands-on activities involving employees. A Taihan official stated, “In commemoration of Arbor Day, it is particularly meaningful to participate in activities that allow us to reflect on and put into practice the importance of the environment together with the local community,” adding, “We will continue to carry out eco-friendly initiatives and contribute to building a sustainable society.” Meanwhile, in addition to tree-planting activities, Taihan is implementing various environmental social contribution programs, including the ‘One Company, One Coast’ initiative, used battery recycling campaigns, and endangered species protection activities. Through initiatives centered on the environment, education, and local communities, the company is strengthening its corporate social responsibility.

Pregnant employees are also offered prenatal travel packages at domestic resorts, designed to promote emotional bonding with the unborn child. Childbirth incentives have been raised to the highest level in the wire and cable industry, with KRW 5 million for the first child, KRW 10 million for the second, and KRW 20 million for the third and subsequent children.

Construction of Solar Power Generation Facilities at Dangjin plantTaihan has set up independent solar generation facilities at the Dangjin plant. As part of the carbon-neutral roadmap to combat the climate crisis, the company has taken significant steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy efficiency. Taihan has installed solar power facilities covering 10,000 square meters of roof space across two buildings at the Dangjin Plant. These facilities are expected to generate 1,400 MWh of electricity annually, which will power both the plant and its production operations. The project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 630 tCO2eq annually, which equates to the environmental impact of planting around 4,300 pine trees. Taihan plans to continuously expand solar power generation facilities to increase the proportion of renewable energy use. The company is also evaluating the adoption of solar power facilities at its submarine cable plant 1, which is scheduled to finish construction by 2025.​ 

Establishing Carbon Neutrality RoadmapTaihan Cable & Solution has established a detailed carbon neutrality roadmap to achieve Net Zero by 2050. The greenhouse gas reduction targets are set according to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards. SBTi is a global initiative that validates corporate carbon emission reduction targets based on scientific evidence. Taihan plans to submit its reduction targets and implementation plans within the first half of this year, aiming to be the first in the domestic cable industry to receive approval from SBTi. According to its roadmap, Taihan plans to reduce the total amount of carbon emissions, both direct and indirect, from all its operations, both domestic and international, by 46% by 2031. In addition, the company aims to reduce carbon emissions from its entire value chain, including overseas subsidiaries, partners, and transportation, by more than 30% by 2031. The ultimate goal is to achieve Net Zero by 2050, meaning all carbon emissions from product manufacturing and business activities will be reduced to zero.
