Obtained 'ISO 14001' certification in the 'Smart Energy Business' and 'IDC Operations' sectors
We will realize Green KT and go further to lead Green Korea.


KT announced that it has obtained ISO 14001 certification, an international standard for environmental management systems, from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the fields of 'smart energy business' and 'IDC operations'.

'ISO 14001' is considered the most important certification among the 'International Standards for Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14000) Series' established by the International Organization for Standardization. This certification evaluates items such as the presence or absence of environmental impact by each business sector of a company over the course of a year, efforts to reduce such impact, and compliance with regulations.

KT has objectively proven that it is a company possessing advanced eco-friendly IT technology by obtaining certifications in the smart energy business sector, including energy efficiency and renewable energy businesses, which are among its core future businesses.



Following the 'Green IDC' certification from the Korea IT Service Industry Association in 2013, KT IDC received ISO 14001 certification. This demonstrates that KT's IDC operations minimize the environmental impact and provide services safely.

KT Vice President and Head of Public Relations Yoon Jong-jin said, “ISO 14001 certification is an objective indicator showing that KT is effectively and systematically implementing eco-friendly management.” “Going forward, KT will strive to expand the areas in which it can receive ISO 14001 certification to provide eco-friendly services to customers in their daily lives. Through this, we will realize ‘Green KT’ and further lead ‘Green Korea,’” the company stated.
