ECO Products

About ECO products (environmentally-contributing products)

We carry out our self-declared system of environmental labels based on ISO14021 to provide products that contribute to the reduction of environmental burden to our customers.
The purpose of this system is to show our attitude to the reduction of environmental burden as well as to clearly define the judging criteria and to publish the information on the ECO marked products.
By implementing this environmental label system, we carry out our activity to continuously create eco-friendly products and to contribute the global environmental conservation activities of our customers.
