* The level of impact on the environment, such as the level of emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases, and the level of consumption of resource /energy in the entire process of manufacturing, consumption, and disposal of materials and products

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

The Environmental Product Declaration System is a system that induces environmental improvement by measuring and displaying the environmental impact of the entire process of products and services, including rejection collection, production, reduction/distribution, use, and disposal, in order to improve the environmental friendliness of products and services.

Low-carbon products refer to cases where the carbon footprint value in the environmental information on the Environmental Product Declaration is below the maximum allowable carbon emissions. If there is no maximum allowable carbon emissions, they refer to products that have achieved a reduction of more than the minimum carbon reduction rate.
