What are environmental and
social safeguards?
“Environmental and Social Safeguards” (“Safeguards”) are a system of policies, standards, operational procedures and sets of good practices that are designed to prevent, minimize or offset/compensate any significant negative environmental or social risks or impacts, while optimizing sustainable development effects related to preparation, implementation and operation of projects and activities tackling sustainable and renewable energy and climate change.

 CEO Lee Eun-young attends the Global Business Convention (GBC) panel hosted by LHAs a panelist at the "2022 LH Global Business Convention (GBC)" held in KOEX today, our CEO Lee Eun-young attended and had a meaningful conversation.The meeting was held to introduce the achievements of LH's Pakistan Karachi Slum feasibility study project, which was joined by Gaia Consultant, and to discuss how to carry out the CDM project, especially in terms of ESG.As part of the CDM project, how will we integrate sustainable development objectives from the initial business preparation stage?This topic was not an easy task.There has been a steady effort between LH and FS collaborative agencies to achieve the two objectives together through a close field survey for more than a year and a process of gathering voices from Pakistan's Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC), local governments and sites.We hope that this project will be launched and become a meaningful best practice for global LH cooperation projects.
