Additionally, we operate a systematic grievance handling process to facilitate communication with various stakeholders. |
| ESG Culture Integration | Promoting a company-wide culture of sustainability, we implement ongoing ESG campaigns to enhance employee awareness and engagement in ESG practices. To support a paperless work environment, we have introduced tablets and electronic approval systems. We also encourage the reduction of single-use items by installing tumbler washers and promoting the use of reusable tumblers. Additionally, we foster everyday sustainable behaviors such as turning off lights, unplugging unused devices, and encouraging walking to reduce carbon emissions. |
| Social Responsibility | As part of our commitment to environmental protection, we conduct tree-planting campaigns that contribute to biodiversity conservation, reflecting our ongoing efforts toward a sustainable future. Furthermore, we regularly engage in community service activities that involve our employees and their families. Volunteer Tree Planting - Ttukseom Hangang Park, Forest of Life (November 11, 2024)  |

Sustainability of Alphadom Tower
Alphadom Tower serves as a model for sustainable building management, implementing a range of environmental management strategies, such as maximizing energy efficiency and reducing unnecessary consumption, while expanding the use of renewable energy to contribute to carbon emission reduction. Additionally, we systematically operate a water management system and a waste management program. Through this comprehensive approach, Alphadom Tower achieves both long-term asset value enhancement and environmental protection.
Energy Efficiency
By replacing all common area lighting with high-efficiency LED fixtures and participating in the Demand Response (DR) program, Samsung SRA Asset Management significantly reduced power usage (100kWh) and overall energy consumption. Additionally, through the advanced Building Management System (BMS), we have significantly enhanced the efficiency and safety of energy management.
Water Efficiency
Enhancing water efficiency by conducting regular inspections and upgrades of stormwater and greywater treatment facilities and utilizing reclaimed water not only in retail restrooms but also for landscaping. Furthermore, we have established a systematic water resource management system by enabling real-time monitoring of reclaimed water usage through stormwater and greywater flow meters.
Renewable Energy
A state-of-the-art 105.84kW BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) system was installed on the building's roof to maximize eco-friendly energy production. Maintenance is carried out by replacing damaged BIPV modules and cleaning them regularly to maintain energy efficiency. Solar power generation is monitored in real-time, which directly supplying electricity to the building systems.
Waste Management
Samsung SRA Asset Management introduced the "UpBox" platform, a professional waste management service that streamlines the separation and monitoring of workplace waste disposal. General waste disposal is managed through the "Olbaro System," which tracks waste volumes, and general waste is recycled into solid fuel products, contributing to resource circulation and sustainability.
Alphadom Tower's Environmental Performance
To systematically manage Alphadom Tower's environmental performance, Samsung SRA Asset Management implemented a real-time monitoring system that tracks key environmental indicators, including energy consumption, water usage, and waste generation. This data-driven approach enables continual improvements, with specific reduction targets set to minimize environmental impact.
