연구목적:국내 사업장의 온실가스 배출량 공개 현황과 기타 간접 배출량이 총 배출량의 연관성을 파악하여 공개의 필요성을 촉구하고자 한다. 연구방법: 탄소정보공개프로젝트(CDP)에 공개된 2021년 배출량 자료로 업종 및 배출 항목별로 수집하여 비교분석을 진행하였다. 연구결과: Scope 3 내 각 Category별 배출량을 산정하고 공개한 기업일수록 배출량 공개 외 다른 평가요인에 대한 응답 또는 공개에 적극적이고 해당 기업들은 CDP 및 ESG 평가에서 높은 등급을 얻을 수 있었으며 배출량이 많은 기업일수록 Scope 3 산정 및 공개 수가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 업종별 Scope 3 공개 수와 전체 중 각 Scope별 차지하는 비중의 상관관계는 일부 제조업종에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론: Scope 3 공개 수와 기업 등급, 총 배출량은 비례함에 따라 Scope 3 공개 수 및 GHG 배출량이 많은 기업일수록 Scope 3 관리 수준이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. Scope 3 배출량 산정 및 공개를 토대로 효과적인 배출량 관리 및 감축 활동이 필요하다.

Growing stringent global regulations in Korea poses a threat to corporate sustainability. Companies must respond strategically to navigate these regulations and avoid greenwashing. Objective of this research was to analyze how Korean companies are responding to the global trend of reducing plastic use and propose improved management strategies. Seven indicators were developed to assess companies' post-plastic strategies and applied to analyze the sustainability reports of Amore Pacific and LG Household & HealthCare. These indicators included, 1) disclosure of plastic raw materials used by weight or volume, 2) disclosure of recycled plastic raw materials used by weight or volume, 3) disclosure of waste recycling, reuse amounts, and disposal using waste treatment method 4) strategies to reduce environmental impact of plastics, 5) plastic packaging, reduce, recycle, reuse, and composting (in the real environment), 6) plastic management roadmap for the circular economy, and 7) education for sustainable plastic management. Based on the review of considered companies, we propose in-listed sustainable plastics management strategies: disclosing the ratio of plastic raw materials and recycled raw materials for all products, considering recycling rate throughout the product value chain, and not only for the production phase, reviewing carbon dioxide emissions based on life cycle assessment rather than reducing plastic consumption, studying the biodegradability of biodegradable plastics in natural environment such as soil, considering the consumer's perspective.

This research, conducted over a three-year period starting from 2020, was a collaborative project between practitioners in the field of VE design and the Korea Expressway Corporation, aimed at innovating the design VE project to construct an intelligent ICT-based smart highway and enhancing highway driving performance and customer satisfaction. The research included R&D support for payment and management systems integrated with IOT technology, the application of the developed prototype at highway sites, and analysis of user performance evaluation. Based on the Innovation Work Roadmap of the Korea Expressway Corporation, the research process involved collaboration between a public participation group and an expert group, considering the technical feasibility of data-based ICT technology through the National Idea VE Contest. The final VE design results were implemented at the Seongnam tollgate site with budget support from relevant departments, followed by a satisfaction survey. It is expected that the continuous contributions to achieving an ESG society, such as the increase in the number of customers using the tolling zone equipped with smart upgrades, along with their satisfaction rate, and the reduction in carbon emissions and total settlement time of highway users, will be sustained.
