HWASEUNG Enterprise – act renewable

Carbon Reduction Roadmap

The Challenge:

HWASEUNG Enterprise is a Korean headquartered industry leading footwear, headwear, apparel and textile manufacturer in the Sporting Goods industry.
A key supplier to multiple global brands, HWASEUNG appreciates the key role it plays in ensuring sustainable manufacturing and driving environmental stewardship within its sector.
Knowing the positive impact a decarbonisation and a renewable energy strategy could deliver to its business, HWASEUNG needed to visualize its areas of improvement and implement specific solutions in order to meet its ambitious targets.

The Solution:

act renewable supported in identifying technical and financially feasible solutions for HWASEUNG, gathering a deep understanding of the business case as well as the carbon reduction potential of installing solar rooftops across its operation.
HWASEUNG was able to make informed decisions, with a clear view of emission reduction potential across implementation scenarios.
We then supported on the go-to-market approach to evaluate proposals from developers, manage negotiations, ultimately supporting them to select the solution best-fitted to their business and emission reduction goals.

Our Approach

Insights & Initial Engagement – we helped HWASEUNG with establishing a carbon inventory, understand its footprint, set its ambition level, scope, and focus.
Commitment – a reporting methodology was defined, and specific targets were set.
Strategy – an emissions gap analysis was conducted to help define a strategy for the transition and a prioritization model ranking decarbonisation instruments.
Roadmap – we helped to structure a roadmap with a clear timeline and defined solutions fitting to HWASEUNG’s business.
Execution – We helped HWASEUNG carry out a full solar rooftop procurement process for some of its manufacturing sites, developing Request for Proposals, on-site visits, technical & financial reports, and supporting overseeing contracting with the chosen developer.

A full assessment of HWASEUNG Enterprise’s renewable energy strategy for carbon emission reduction formed the basis of a detailed roadmap, progressed the implementation of on-site solar and has positioned HWASEUNG as a sustainability leader in its sector.
