Chairmans Message

The Challenge for Sustainable Development


Hyundai Motor has concentrated its efforts on respecting human value and contributing to society through the preservation of the environment, based on corporate citizenship. Those efforts were made substantial through the announcement of the global environmental policy and followed by other activities weve achieved. Hyundai Motor recognizes the environment as a core corporate value to become a global top 5 automaker in overall competitiveness. To put our values and policies into action, we launched a corporate-level environment organization and established a company-wide environment management strategy, created through analyzing the entire corporate value chain. In addition, we broke ground on the Hyundai Eco-technology Research Institute that will lead the way in, among other innovations, the future development of environmentally-friendly vehicles. We are aligning our existing policies and systems with this environment management strategy as well as ethics management to improve our corporate value and our sustainable future. In step with these changes, we are improving other management systems, to balance profit and development, short-and long-term goals, and the triple-bottom line: economy, the environment and society. This report is an important step for us in this process. Through steps like this, we will respond to various social requirements and continue to improve our competitiveness as a company with global presence and to meet stakeholder expectations. As we look toward to the future, we will do our best to enhance quality of life through supplying safer, environmentally-friendlier vehicles and increase the number of channels for proactive communications with stakeholders such as customers, investors, employees, suppliers and NGOs, without compromising the rights of the next generation. All these will lead to mutual respect and cooperative relationships, which are necessary for harmonized society. Meeting these objectives is a responsibility that we share with all of industry, as we

move collectively toward a more sustainable and a more productive future. We look forward to your interest and encouragement. We invite you to be with us as we challenge for the future, the environment and humankind.

Vision on Sustainability
Automobile is no longer a means of simple transportation. It is now a space for reflection, room for friend and family, and even a workspace outside your office. Automobile has become the commodity of necessity: it is indispensable for our lives. What will automobiles mean for us in the future? What will it mean for the environment and society? As a responsible corporate citizen, we commit to contribute to harmonious prosperity of human and the global environs. Hyundai Motor invites the world to join us in our effort toward Sustainability.

Our Vision With the spirit of creative challenge, we are


creating an afuent automotive life for humanity, and contributing to harmony and co-prosperity with shareholders, customers and the other stakeholders of the auto industry.
The spirit of creative challenge, which has paved the way for Hyundai Motors growth, is the core value of Hyundai Motor. It aims for creativity and innovation in order to actively respond to changes in the business environment. Based on this core value, we aim to supply automobiles and related supporting services to enrich the overall quality of human life for both domestic and overseas stakeholders. At the same time, we want to move forward into the future in step with all stakeholders our shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers, dealers and local communities on the basis of mutual trust.

Management Policy
In 2000, Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors merged to form the Hyundai Automotive Group and implemented a horizontal management system in September 25 of that year. The horizontal management system gives departmental teams extensive power to carry out corporate policies and implement their own action plans based on those policies. The horizontal management system is guided by three principles: 1) Trust-Based Management 2) Site-Intensive Management 3) Transparent Management. These principles, together with the environmental policy mentioned later in this report, give direction to the management strategies that drive our business. In 2003, we established four objectives to be met in the mid- to long-term strategies: 1) enhance product value, 2) establish a global production system, 3) increase brand power, 4) improve environmental management systems.
Management Policy

Trust-Based Management respect people productive management-labor relationship trust between superiors and subordinates meet the expectation of society Site-Intensive Management customer satisfaction develop decent workplace and establish management strategy top priority to quality and service Transparent Management transparent job specifications transparent transaction with suppliers fair trade guaranteeing mutual benefit pride as a respected company

2003 Management Policy


In order to realize Hyundai Motors management value of the co-development of human society, it is essential to systematically and actively prepare our response to the ever-changing business environment, focused on trust-based management, site-intensive management and transparent management. Therefore, in 2003 Hyundai Motor prepared a management policy reflecting the social requirements for improved business transparency, and higher ethical and environmental standards for all employees to share and practice.

First, by raising the standards of every aspect of the company to the global level, Hyundai Motor will secure competitive power in the global market and use its overseas production plants as a foundation to reach out into the global market. Second, Hyundai Motor plans to improve its management system to ensure a continuous flow of profits, by cutting excessive costs to maximize profits while investing in promising business areas. Focusing on core competencies will also help to minimize the impact of the unstable business environment on the company and enhance competitive power in the future. Third, through building trust with its employees based on humanism, Hyundai Motor will build the Great Workplace to raise the quality of its employees lives. Last, Hyundai Motor will assume its responsibilities as a corporate citizen, building an environmentallyfriendly management foundation and heightening the sense of ethical awareness throughout the company. As a major player in the automotive industry and a company which is a major engine of growth for the domestic economy, Hyundai Motor strives to go beyond its economic responsibilities and to fulfill higher standards of social responsibility as a member of the local community and of society as a whole.

Toward Sustainable Society


Revision of Modern Development Model Civilization has modernized itself with the help of science. It has achieved economic growth, but also presented problems such as environmental pollution, resource exhaustion, human rights abuses, labor problems and unfair trade. These features, which once were recognized as non-fundamental issues, are now being recognized as serious threats to the sustainable development of our world and the planet we bequeath to our descendants. There have been a multitude of forums such as the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, which dealt with these issues reconsidering the quantitative, growth-oriented modern development model. These days, all aspects of human activities are reformed for Sustainable Development. 21st Century Development Model: Sustainable Society Sustainable Society is the new socio-economic model for the 21st century, the core objectives of which consist of affluent prosperity and harmony among global citizens and future generations, without neglecting their rights.
21st Century Development Model: Sustainable Society

4. Climate Change
Due to rapid economic growth and globalization, the world has been experiencing a drastic increase in the demand for various means of transportation such as automobiles, commercial jets and freight ships. The increase in the demand for such means of transportation intensified the use of fossil fuels, resulting in high emissions of CO2 gas, a major source of global warming. As a signatory to UNFCC, Korean government and the industries are actively participating in the effort to reduce CO2 emissions. Through Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association (KAMA), Hyundai Motor made a voluntary agreement with EU to reduce CO2 emissions to 140g/km by 2009. To comply with this agreement, Hyundai Motor is developing high fuel-efficiency vehicles and next generation vehicles such as hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles. Next Generation Vehicle The amount of CO2 emitted from automobiles has an inverse relationship with fuel efficiency. Automakers are attempting to improve the performance of internal combustion engines and to develop next generation vehicles. Hyundai Motor has been developing environmentally-friendly vehicle from the early 1990s. Through the electric vehicle development project, Hyundai Motor accumulated technology in electric power and vehicle energy management, which are widely used in development of hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. Nowadays, hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles are two of the most highlighted trends worldwide. They are truly environmentally-friendly vehicles in terms of fuel efficiency and emission reduction. Hybrid, which means mixture or complex, is the intermediate stage for developing fuel cell electric vehicles. The hybrid electric vehicle combines merits of internal combustion engine and electric vehicle to achieve high fuel-efficiency and emission reduction. The fossil fuel depletion issue and environmental problems led to the development of the hybrid electric vehicle. Meanwhile, the fuel cell, which is an electro-chemical device, directly produces electricity by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in the air, without the combustion process. The fuel cell electric vehicle achieves the same level of emission performance and silence as the electric vehicle and better fuel efficiency than the hybrid
The enhancement of the driving distance on a single charge of fuel is the key technology for the fuel cell electric vehicle. We have to develop high-pressure hydrogen storage technology. We developed high-pressure hydrogen tank containing 350-bar in June 2001 for the first time in the world and now we are in the process of developing a 700-bar storage tank. The Santa Fe hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle is installed with technologies that guarantee hydrogen safety mechanically and electrically. The Santa Fe hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle mounted with high-pressure hydrogen storage tank for the first time in the world in December 2001.

electric vehicle. In addition, major automakers around the world are declaring commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles as a main management strategy for the 21st century, followed by a huge investment. In line with the international trend, Hyundai Motor is actively stepping forward for the development and commercialization of the fuel cell electric vehicle, which has the same implication as that of the internal combustion engine vehicle in the 20th century. Individual behavior is the beginning of the solution to the global warming problem. With this in mind, many employees in Hyundai Motor are commuting by shuttle bus. We operate 155 lines in Korea as follows:
Number of Shuttle Bus Service Routes (Monthly Average for 2003) Area Head quarter Namyang R&D Ulsan plant Asan plant Jeonju plant Total Routes 34 82 10 23 6 155

Communication with Investors Hyundai Motor communicates its environmental management targets and performance to stakeholders via road show presentations. Important road show presentations in 2003 are as follows:
February 2003: March 2003: April 2003: May 2003: May 2003: June 2003: August 2003: Non-deal road show (Asia/Europe/USA) CSFB Asia Investment Conference (Hong Kong) Explanations for Investors hosted by UBS securities (USA) First quarter result presentation (Korea Stock Exchange) Samsung Investment forum for domestic investors Overseas road show sponsored by Federation of Korean Industries (New York/Boston/London) First half Investor Relations (Korea Stock Exchange)

The environmental management performance of Hyundai Motor is highly evaluated by international investment banking initiatives. We are listed on a major Korean sustainability fund (Samsung Eco Fund) as an environmentally-friendly company, for our commitment to protect the environment and for reporting our performance to investors and other stakeholders. Since the issuance of the Eco Fund on 16th August 2001, Hyundai Motor has continued the effort in investor relations to communicate with investors on our environmental and social performance. Environmental Accounting System We have been working with the Korean Ministry of Environment since 2001 on a pilot environmental accounting program that recognizes and quantifies environmental costs for decision makers and stakeholders. We are currently at the stage of identifying environmental expenditure and plan to report the results in our 2004 sustainability report.
Environmental Expenditure (2002)

electric vehicle. In comparison to the internal combustion vehicle, it achieves the same level of fuel supply convenience and drive performance. With hydrogen as fuel, it emits nothing but water. The fuel cell electric vehicle is expected to reduce environmental pollution and fossil fuel consumption when it is commercialized. Hyundai Motor developed Elantra hybrid electric vehicle in 1999 and Verna hybrid electric vehicle in 2000. Also, we pilot serviced County hybrid electric bus during the World Cup in 2002. There are many technical and economic barriers to commercialize the fuel cell electric vehicle. Its commercialization has a direct relationship with national energy management strategy as well as environmental preservation. Furthermore, it has a monumental impact on industries as a whole. Therefore, governments in many developed countries are increasing support for relevant research and development of the fuel cell

Social Value
We create harmony among shareholders, customers and other stakeholders to enrich the lives of all. Hyundai Motor pursues social value through mobility that enriches the lives of all. Through product and business activities, we are devoted to achieving harmony among stakeholders.

1. Employees as Vital Partners


Human Resources Development Hyundai Motors human resources management can be divided into 4 areas; HR, labor, welfare and education. For each area, we are implementing human resource management efficiently and reasonably based on respective action plans. Efforts are made to compensate employees based fairly on performance and to not discriminate against employees. Employees opinions on the HR management system are collected in various ways and reflected to improve the system. Working Hours and Leave System Average overtime hours for production workers recorded in 2002 were 860.4 hours, which were subject to an overtime payment at 150 to 350 percent of normal hourly wages. A full-time employee worked an average of 42 hours per week in 2002, which was reduced to 40 hours per week in concordance with an agreement reached with labor union in August 2003. Hyundai Motor presently follows a nationally endorsed leave system whereby employees are given one day of paid leave per month. Hyundai Motor grants one day of paid leave for each year offer an initial year of consecutive employment year, in addition to annual paid leaves. We also follow relevant labor acts and labor agreements in additional paid leave days, including a summer vacation period, 4 days of paid leave during national holidays such as lunar New Years Day and Chuseok respectively, and a vacation bonus. Female employees receive an additional day of paid leave per month and are eligible for 90 days maternity leave during and following pregnancy.

UNEP Mobility Forum One of the ways we communicate with stakeholders, including 12 automakers and NGOs, is by attending meetings of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Mobility Forum since 2001 to share our thoughts on sustainability issues in the transport sector. Main issues for discussion are development of sustainability reporting guidelines in the auto sector and cooperation to commercialize environmentally -friendly vehicles.

Female Employees As of the end of 2002, the total number of employees stood at 49,993 with female employees accounting for 4.3 percent. Women at Hyundai Motor are fulfilling their career goals in various departments and Hyundai Motor will continue to respect the importance of female employees.

Sustainable mobility is about balancing the needs of society to allow for free and cost effective movement of people, goods and services and preserve a healthy environment capable of sustaining life for current and future generations. Achieving this balance is a complex and compelling challenge; one that requires continuous dialogue and coordinated action from all relevant stakeholders, including governments, industry, and environmental and consumer groups. Facilitating this dialogue and cooperation is the basis of the UNEP Mobility Forum-a voluntary initiative of 13 automotive manufactures from Europe, Asia and the United States, and one supplier, working jointly with UNEP to protect the environment while maintaining healthy and profitable businesses operating within the framework of sustainable development. (Excerpt from Getting There , UNEP Mobility Forum)

Hyundai Motor Company 2002/2003 Sustainability Report

R&D
R&D and Design departments are the starting point of our sustainability efforts; they have a significant influence on the sustainability of our business. We see four key areas of sustainable development: 1) next generation vehicles, 2) fuel efficiency improvement, 3) exhaust gas reduction and 4) improvement on recyclability & Design for Environment (DfE). Hyundai Motor is building strategies and plans to focus on these key areas. To develop environmentally-friendly vehicles and create other environment-related technologies, we established the Hyundai Eco-technology Research Institute (HERI) in July 2003. Also, we reinforced the role of the Environmental Product Committee to reflect the environmental issues in product development decision-making.
Policies and Strategies in R&D

combustion engine as a generator. In comparison to the serial type, the parallel type hybrid electric vehicle is characterized by superior energy efficiency and the use of a smaller battery. According to research results, the parallel type hybrid electric vehicle is believed to have high potential for replacing the conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. Getz HEV Pilot Service Program After developing its first hybrid electric vehicle, FGV-1 in 1995, Hyundai Motor developed Getz HEV in 2002. Getz HEV is a parallel type hybrid electric vehicle with an electric motor installed between the engine and the transmission. It has a 1.4-liter gasoline engine, a 12-kilowatt electric motor and Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Getz HEV is 54 percent more fuel efficient than its gasoline models and is designated as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV). From 2004, Hyundai Motor is planning its road demonstration of Getz HEV in the metropolitan area of Seoul before its commercialization. The pilot service is expected to answer the environmental impact and its optimal performance at a practical level. Hyundai Motor would like to comply with Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standards for all our fleet through continuing hybrid electric vehicle development processes. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) Hyundai Motor established a fuel cell development team in the early 1990s. The team is responsible for finding the solutions to the energy and environmental issues for automobiles. In June 2000, we joined the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) to take an initiative for developing technology to commercialize vehicles utilizing alternative energy. Santa Fe FCEV, Hyundai Motors first fuel cell vehicle, was introduced in March 2001. It was developed through a joint project with United Technologies Corp. Fuel Cells (UTCFC). In October 2001, it won two gold and two silver medals in the fuel cell electric vehicle division at the Michelin Bibendum Challenge in California. Santa Fe FCEV successfully completed the 2002 Fuel Cell Road Rally held in Sacramento, California, hosted by CaFCP. Fuel cell electric vehicles are tested for performance and endurance in a course along the Pacific coast from Monterey to Santa Barbara. Santa Fe FCEV successfully finished the 300-mile racecourse within the 3-day timeline. Santa Fe FCEV has a maximum driving distance of 160 km, fuel cell output of 75 kW, maximum speed of 124 km/h and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 18 seconds. The hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle requires high-pressure hydrogen storage technology. In June 2001, Hyundai Motor developed a 350-bar hydrogen storage tank for the first time in the world and is now developing a 700-bar storage tank.

The success in the 700-Bar project would extend Santa Fe FCEVs maximum driving distance up to 320 km at single charge, equivalent to that of a gasoline vehicle. Another challenge for commercializing FCEV is to make it operable at below zero degree Celsius condition. We work with UTCFC on such second-generation FCEV technologies, which are expected to be completed by 2004. Through road tests and pilot services in practical conditions, Hyundai Motor will develop technologies for the commercialization of FCEV by 2010.

Improvement of Volumetric Efficiency The air in the cylinder chamber cools rapidly as the fuel is injected and evaporates. The lower the temperature of the air in the chamber, the more volumetric efficiency and anti-knocking improves, which in turn results in a 10 percent increase in engine performance through better compression ratio and spark timing adjustment. Complete Combustion and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Conventional engine emits HC, CO and NOx. The amount of exhaust gas depends on the air-fuel ratio: as the air-fuel ratio lowers, the amount of HC and CO emission decreases while NOx increases. Gasoline Direct Injection Engine combusts fuel completely at ultra low air-fuel ratio hence emitting reduced amounts of HC and CO. The amount of NOx emission is reduced by utilizing a large capacity catalyst and EGR valve. Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) VGT diesel engine enhances fuel efficiency while reducing emissions. It optimizes the driving force over wide ranges of speed by controlling the amount and flow rate of exhaust gas through a turbocharger. The 1,991 cc VGT diesel engine produces a maximum of 125 horsepower, a 13 percent improvement, in comparison to current common rail direct injection engines. It also improves the maximum torque by 29.5 kgm/rpm and fuel efficiency by 5 to 10 percent. The Trajet XG and Santa Fe utilizes this VGT diesel engine.

H2 700-Bar Project Hyundai Motor is developing the high-pressure hydrogen storage tank for the improvement in driving distance by participating in the H2 700-Bar Project. The project is executed in a consortium with Toyota, Nissan, DaimlerChrysler, Ford and Peugeot, and is led by Powertech Lab Inc, Canada and Kokan Drum Co., Japan, with the goal of commercializing high-pressure hydrogen storage tank by 2005.

2. Improving Fuel Efficiency


Gasoline Direct Injection Engine Unlike the conventional gasoline engine that supplies air and fuel mixture, the Hyundai Motor gasoline direct injection engine supplies air and fuel separately. The direct injection engine improves fuel efficiency and engine performance and reduces emissions in comparison to conventional engines. Reduction of Pumping Loss Air flows into the vacuumed combustion cylinder by downward movement of the piston in a gasoline engine. The smaller the opening of the intake valve, the greater the airflow resistance. The greater the airflow resistance, the more power to pump the piston. The power lost in pumping the piston at high airflow resistance condition results in engine output loss. The engine output loss is also called pumping loss. The direct injection engine combusts at 40:1 air to fuel mixture ratio as opposed to the conventional engine that combusts at 14.7:1. This represents a 30 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.

3. Emission Reduction
Low Emission Vehicle Governments around the world regulate emissions from both present and future vehicles through initiatives such as LEV II Program (California, USA), Euro-III and Euro-IV (Europe). Hyundai Motor plans to respond to ULEV for all of its fleets by 2005. We have commercialized Elantra complying with SULEV standard since December 2002. The SULEV is an emission standard five times stricter than ULEV; Hyundai Motor became the fourth company to commercialize a model complying with SULEV. As of 2002, all models from Hyundai Motor met Euro-III and most of our gasoline vehicles met Euro-IV. In 2003, the Korean government introduced a new emission standard based on Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV) in North America. In 2002, Hyundai Motor had already launched Elantra in compliance with LEV.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) The demand for diesel-powered vehicle is increasing because of its environmental advantage over gasoline-powered counterparts: diesel engine emits less CO2 and is more fuel-efficient. However, the diesel engine emits more NOx and particulate matter. To cope with those issues as well as to comply with Euro-IV, Hyundai Motor is researching HC, CO, NOx and particulate matter emission reduction technology for diesel engine. We improved our existing oxidation catalyst technology to reduce HC and CO emission by 90 percent. By improving the diesel engine combustion efficiency, NOx emission is reduced by 15 percent. Hyundai Motor developed DPF, which can reduce particulate matter emission from diesel engine by 90 percent.

4. Recycling
End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive has been strictly mandated in Europe since July 2002 and from 2005 in Japan. Environmental restrictions are becoming more comprehensive and stringent especially in the areas of emission and recycling. We are developing recycling technologies to recycle up to 95 percent of end-of-life vehicle. As part of our recycling effort, Hyundai Motor adopted Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to analyze environmental impact of a vehicle from its initial designing stage to dismantlement. The Recycling Subcommittee is established under the Environmental Product Committee to effectively respond to overall automobile recycling issues.

Emission Catalysts Super Ultra Low Emission Catalyst Hyundai Motor developed a super ultra low emission catalyst by integrating catalytic material technology for after-treatment, catalyst technology, sensor technology and engine & fuel injection system control technology. Hyundai Motor will continue to innovate its catalyst technologies to meet SULEV for all of its fleets. Equivalent Zero Emission Vehicle (EZEV) Hyundai Motor is aiming to develop a most advanced emission control technology. With this aim, we developed new catalyst technology, absorbent for cold-start hydrocarbon, ultra-thin wall catalyst & metal catalyst technology and dual-pipe technology for fast-warm up. When these technologies combine with our air-purifying radiator technology, all fleets from Hyundai Motor can achieve 1/10th of the SULEV standard. Air-purifying Radiator Ozone is a corrosive substance generated when hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide undergo a photochemical reaction. Ozone in the lower atmosphere is harmful to the human body, causing respiratory illnesses. The air-purifying radiator reduces ozone density in the air by converting ozone into oxygen through an ozone decomposing catalyst. Hyundai Motor completed the development of an air-purifying radiator and began installing it on selected models in 2003.

Design for Recycling (DfR) Recyclability Assessment Information System in design process (RAIS) RAIS is an intranet based recyclability evaluation program, started in October 2002. The system provides designers with a platform to evaluate material recyclability, parts recyclability and ease of dismantling. The program also provides information on recyclability, which will soon be adopted by EU for vehicle type approval. Design for Disassembly (DfD) As part of our DfE effort, Hyundai Motor has been pursuing DfD since 1998. In 2002, we started to develop DfD in a joint research with Pusan National University. The DfD evaluation tools and design guideline will be integrated into the RAIS. Material Marking for Recycling Since July 1992, Hyundai Motor has been labeling material marking on all plastic parts over 100 grams in passenger vehicles and light trucks. It is to ease the segregation of parts by material nature when the parts are dismantled. In addition, Hyundai Motor plans to mark all rubber parts over 200 grams to respond to EU ELV Directive from 2003. Hyundai Motor plans to strengthen the internal material marking standard: all parts over 50 grams will be required for material marking. Reduction of Hazardous Materials Hyundai Motor is developing environmentally-friendly vehicles to preserve the environment and to respond to environmental restrictions. In July 2003, we set up a hazardous material management protocol to comply with EU Directive on Hazardous Substance. Furthermore, Hyundai Motor is developing an internal hazardous substance management system to manage hazardous substance uses in our own facilities as well as our 450 parts and material suppliers. We are currently preparing to register ourselves, and all of our suppliers, to International Material Data System (IMDS). Our design specification criteria include restriction on the use of hazardous substances listed in EU ELV Directive. Moreover, all materials and parts are laboratory tested for hazardous substance analysis. Hyundai Motor is developing alternative material and technology for materials and parts found nonconforming to the expectation specified by EU ELV Directive. For instance, Hyundai Motor has developed and commercialized lead free fuel tanks, lead-free PVC cable coatings, lead-free electro-deposition paints as well as aluminum bearings and bushing. In the meantime, we are developing a response plan on grace period for meeting the EU ELV Directive. Dismantling Information Hyundai Motor has been providing dismantling information through International Dismantling Information System (IDIS) in EU. The dismantling manuals for all new models, including Getz, were uploaded into IDIS in 2002. As a voluntary effort, we are distributing the dismantling manuals for Elantra and Getz to all domestic dismantling sites.

Waste Parts Recycling Technology Hyundai Motor has been working to improve the environmentally-friendliness of our products such as developing waste parts recycling technologies. The research on waste rubber and plastic part recycling technology is at the stage of practical application. In addition, Hyundai Motor has successfully developed waste bumper paint coating removal technology: the paint coating on waste bumper has been the most significant challenge in bumper recycling. The new technology will enable us to recycle previously non-recyclable waste bumpers. Furthermore, Hyundai Motor has developed recycling technology for floor mat and seat foam, which were made of mixed materials and components presenting difficulty in recycling. The recycled floor mats and seat foams are recycled to make trunk trims and noise absorption material. This technology is currently applied to Sonata and XG models. For large plastic parts assembled with multi-components, such as dashboards, Hyundai Motor is developing disassembling technology for part and component segregation. Rubber Recycling The thermosetting rubber is difficult and uneconomical to recycle. Hence, research on thermosetting rubber recycling has not been pursued. On the contrary, Hyundai Motor has developed thermosetting rubber recycling technology in which waste weather strips are pulverized to be recycled as noise absorbing and/or weather strip raw material. Waste Bumper Recycling System For the first time in Korea, Hyundai Motor is establishing a waste bumper recycling system to recycle waste bumper collected from dismantling sites and after service centers. The collected waste bumpers will be recycled to bumper cover and/or engine under-cover by utilizing bumper paints coating removal technology and compounding technology. Hyundai Motor plans to implement this system by November 2003.

Purchasing
We consider the development of environmental technology itself to be core contribution to society. We want to contribute to society by increasing the production of environmentallyfriendly vehicles.
Joon-Chul Park, Ph.D Senior Vice President Hyundai Eco-technology Research Institute

One passenger vehicle consists of over 20,000 components. Consequently, the environmental and social performance of suppliers directly influences Hyundai Motors environmental and social performance. We are willing to engage suppliers in dialogues on sustainability. Educating our suppliers and helping them stay on track are a vital part of our sustainable business.

1. Green Purchasing System


In accordance to environmental management strategy, Hyundai Motor has been encouraging its domestic suppliers to establish environmental management system. As part of Hyundai Motors green purchasing system, we have provided training on environmental management system for over 450 domestic suppliers. Hyundai Motor is planning to improve the Five Star system (a supplier quality evaluation system) to include elements on environmental performance from 2004.
Hyundai Motor Company Green Purchase Strategy
Supplier Environmental Management Training (352 Suppliers).

Q: What is the role and vision of the Hyundai Ecotechnology Research Institute? The Institute will play a key role in achieving environmental target for ECO GT5 2010 as announced in Hyundai-Kia environment management declaration by Chairman Chung Mong-Koo. We will establish core competence and system to develop environmentally-friendly products which will enable us to respond to various environmental regulations, which are another trade barriers. We are developing product oriented environment technologies such as environmentally-friendly design, recycling, next generation vehicle, emission reduction, fuel efficiency improvement as well as production oriented environmental technologies, air and water treatment and reduction of energy consumption and waste generation. Some internal organization and systems will be reorganized for all the technologies developed by the institute to be fully applied to new car development in Namyang R&D center. And we are planning to apply Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) at the beginning stage of development to assess and improve environmental impact, and finally establish total LCA system ranging from design to disposal. Q: What do you see for the future, especially regarding environmentally-friendly vehicle and next generation vehicle? Environmental damage done and the growing scarcity of nonrenewable resources are creating a demand for environmentally friendly next generation vehicles like fuel cell electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, electric vehicles and so on. And automakers are accelerating their development of these vehicles to position themselves ahead in the market with extraordinary potential within 5 ~ 10 years. Both hybrid vehicle and fuel cell vehicle will be in strong demand by 2030, coexisting rather than competing on the environmentally friendly vehicle market. Further into the future, fuel cell vehicle will eventually take

over the major market share, as fossil fuel resources deplete and costlier to maintain. Almost all vehicles manufactured after 2050 will be powered by fuel cells. Q: What is the direction of the institute for social responsibility? We consider the development of environmental technology itself to be core contribution to society. We want to contribute to society by increasing the production of environmentally-friendly vehicles. Hyundai hybrid vehicle will be showcased at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, highlighting the theme of environmental protection. On April 2003, we sponsored vehicles to support the torch carriage, marathon and environment related events. Five Hyundai Santa Fe electric vehicles are on the road in Jeju Island for pilot service from November 2003 to October 2005. Q: Efficient and clear internal/external communication is very important for a successful response to environmental and social problems. How does the institutes message get across? It is improper to apply past procedure and internal standard to newly arising issues regarding the environment. So we are having explanation meetings focusing on working level for each department to understand the issues quickly. Also we set up environmental product committee and some sub committees for inter-departmental communication and coordination. For external communication, we are joining the International Material Data System (IMDS) to share information with our partners on component recycling, material weight and hazardous material contents. We also invite academics to join industry in regular forums resulting in technological performances. Were planning to engage environmental organizations in the future and listen to their views on the development of environmentally friendly vehicles.

2. Supplier Environmental Management Training


In accordance to ECO GT5 2010, the purchasing department trained managers from major suppliers in June 2003. The training session focused on Hyundai Motors environmental management strategy and green purchasing systems. By keeping the suppliers informed of our environmental management strategy and policy, Hyundai Motor expects the suppliers to improve their environmental management initiatives to emulate ours.

3. Support Center for Supplier Employees


Improving human rights and workplace environment is an important part of our sustainability initiatives. Since April 2003, the purchasing department operates a Supplier Employee Support Center to offer assistance in legal affairs, wage, welfare and unfair treatment.

Production
To use energy and natural resources efficiently and minimize the impact on the environment is a part of sustainability that has to be considered important to all manufacturing industries, including automakers. To fulfill our social responsibility as a corporate citizen, we have been working to increase the efficiency of energy and natural resources uses, and develop technologies to reduce waste and recycle. In addition, we have been trying to reduce our impact on environment by developing clean production and using environmentally-friendly materials. In 2002, we established a sustainable clean production system by consolidating corporate environmental management system.

Energy Conservation (Electricity and Gas) In 2002, we reduced the use of electricity by 40.89 GWh through lighting improvements, equipment realignment, operation rationalization, waste heat recovery and energy-efficient equipment purchasing at our three domestic production facilities. We also reduced the use of natural gas by 2.7x106 Nm3. It totals 2.5 percent reduction in electricity and 1.5 percent reduction in natural gas consumption of that year. Advanced Air Refreshment Plant (ARP) Wash Zone Type In 2002, we replaced the ARP wash zone type from media type to nozzle type at Ulsan plant. With the nozzle type, the water pump operation period has significantly reduced, resulting in energy and water consumption reduction. Through the improvement in efficiency of humidification, we can save a total of 3,178,000 Nm3 of natural gas use each year with the new system. Microwave dry oven The foundry process in Jeonju plant reduced the use of natural gas by 308,000 Nm3 per year by replacing its coated mold core dry oven from gas burning to microwave type. The gas dry oven is known to consume a large quantity of natural gas and is prone to quality problems. Recovering Boiler Waste Heat In July 2002, the Jeonju plant installed the boiler automatic drain system to recover the waste heat. The new system is installed with plate type heat exchanger to recover the heat from the drains and transfer it to the incoming water at room temperature. It allowed approximately 176,000 Nm3 of natural gas use reduction per year.
Energy Conservation (Electricity)

1. Resources and Energy


Use of Resources and Energy A wide spectrum of materials is used in the making of an automobile: metal plate, paint, aluminum, organic solvents and toxic substances such as NaOH and HCI and so forth. The energy uses include electricity, petroleum, coke and natural gas. The improvement on energy and natural resource consumption is the key element of clean production and protection of the natural environment. Hyundai Motor is monitoring on its manufacturing process to improve the use of energy and natural resources. Please refer to the appendix for the basic environmental data of our facilities in 2002. Resources and Energy Conservation Waste Reduction and Recycling Hyundai Motor is engaged in resource and energy conservation. Our conservation effort concentrates in two areas: source control and recycling. We suppress the generation of waste at the source, such as the improvement on inner panel surface coating. We recycle door hole scraps, sludge from wastewater treatment facilities and package wastes in which we also recover costs. We maintain waste inventory to monitor the progress on reduction of waste. Ultimately, Hyundai Motor targets to reduce the amount of waste generation to 0.38 kg per vehicle per annul.

Wet Scrubber with Electro-static Precipitator Hyundai Motor added electro-static precipitator (ESP) to existing wet scrubber stacks to eliminate both ceruse mist and discernable odor from dry oven facilities. It improved the efficiency of the emission control and saved cost for replacing the control facility entirely. Refrigerant Feeder Although it is not an ozone-depleting chemical (ODC), the hydro fluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant is known as one of the greenhouse gases. Hyundai Motors commercial buses use HFC as air conditioner refrigerant. The buses at the end of the assembly line are double inspected for any leakage of HFC. The line is also equipped with a refrigerant feeder that is capable for both injecting and extracting HFC. It can remove HFC that are overfed, eliminating leakage from over-pressured refrigerant tanks.

Environmentally-Friendly Packaging Automobile manufacturing can be characterized by large numbers of parts delivered in from suppliers. Correspondingly, a large quantity of packing is used to protect the parts: sometimes over packaged or packaged with non-recyclable materials resulting in package waste. To reduce packaging waste, Hyundai Motor engaged in parts packaging improvement initiatives since 1998. During the 1998 to 2001 period, Asan plant had selected 112 different parts assigned for packaging reuse/recycling and optimization. Ulsan plant designated 7 parts packaging from disposable to reusable, achieving a significant reduction of package waste and cost saving.
Environmentally-friendly Packaging

2. Reduction of Pollutant and Waste


Pollutant and Waste Hyundai Motor is pursuing cleaner production by improving discharge control measures at each source and setting internal discharge standards exceeding regulatory requirements. Reduction of Pollutant and Waste Discharge Hydraulic Oil Filters Hydraulic oil in press machines requires periodic replacement, approximately once in 2~3 years. It generates a large quantity of oil waste in each replacement. By installing oil filters in press machines, Hyundai Motor extended the life span of hydraulic oil, reducing 1,620 kg oil waste per year and the overall defect rate of the press machines.

Electro-deposition De-ionized Wash Water Recycling

Electro-deposition De-ionized Wash Water Recycling Through the use of a De-ionized (DI) recycling system, Hyundai Motor recycles waste DI wash water used during electro-deposition process. It was once considered non-recyclable due to the presence of fine colloids. We reduced the quantity of DI wastewater by as much as 70 percent and improved over 50 percent in the BOD level of the waste DI wastewater. Water-soluble Paint Hyundai Motor has a corporate-wide plan to reduce the VOCs emission from the use of thinners for oil base paints while increasing the use of water-soluble paints. This plan is expected to reduce VOC emissions from the present 67 g/m2 to 35 g/m2. Asan plant, as the pioneer plant, will install the water-soluble paint facility by 2003. Lead-Free Electro-Deposition Painting System

4. Environmental Management in Production


Environmental Training Our goal to conserve natural resources and minimize our environmental footprint requires high environmental awareness and active participation from our employees. Hence, Hyundai Motor has continuously been providing environmental training to its employees on how to create a safer, more environmentally-friendly workplace. The training participants bring their ground-zero experience in developing practical and innovative solutions to environmental challenges. In 2002, we implemented two new employee-training programs: environmental management and environmental safety training. We also hosted an environmental forum that year to put the spotlight on environmental trends and new technologies.

3. Logistics Optimization
Logistics system optimization has both economic and environmental benefits. The benefits can include cost saving on the economic aspect and natural resource conservation on the environmental aspect. The environmental benefits allow companies to fulfill its social responsibilities as an accountable corporate citizen. Hyundai Motor developed Pyongtaek and Kunsan harbor as part of its logistics optimization effort. We have established a collective logistics system, which utilizes selected common delivery vehicles as opposed to each supplier operating delivery vehicles independently. In 1997, we have adopted the collective logistics system for 32 suppliers in the Daegu area. Asan plant and Jeonju plant have adopted this system since 1998 and 1999 respectively.
Logistics Optimization

Internal Environmental Audit In 2002, Hyundai Motor performed environmental management systems audits at our assembly plants over a period of 5 months, auditing a total of 49 departments. The internal audit revealed 159 nonconforming issues of which 157 items were corrected. Also, there were 58 recommendations, which include improvements on environmental awareness and employee roles and responsibilities. We plan to focus the 2003 internal environmental audit on regulatory compliance, performance against last years objective & targets, corrective action and overall conformity of actual practices against their Environmental Management System (EMS).

This program is part of Hyundai Motors corporate social responsibility initiative. We plan to expand this service in the near future. Clean-Up Campaign All Hyundai Motor regional service centers participated in an environmental clean-up campaign in May 2002. A total of 50 regional clean-up projects were conducted with 794 participants from Hyundai Motor and local communities. Customer Safety Hyundai Motor is sponsoring Weekend Vehicle Maintenance Course and Owner Maintenance Course (basic engine tune-up and on-the-road inspection) to improve customer safety.
1. Clean-up Campaign

2. Communicating with Employees


Proactive and voluntary participation is a collective result of mutual trust between management & employees and employees & employees. It plays a key role in achieving customer satisfaction and effective environmental management. Hence, the after service division at Hyundai Motor hosted a series of recreational activities such as One Mind sport event and Beach Camps to promote employee esteem and encouragement.

First Prize in Korean Standard Service Quality Index (KS-SQI) KS-SQI is a composite index that tracks customer satisfaction rates on the overall quality of the Korean service industry. The survey has been conducted every year by Korea Standards Association and Dong-A Daily since 2000. Hyundai Motor after service division took the first prize in the passenger car service category.

2. Korea Standard Service Quality Index : First Prize

One Mind Cultural Event In November 2002, 2,500 employees from after service division participated in this sporting event for friendly competition and friendship building. Beach Camp Employees and their families from after service division were invited to join the Beach Camp in July 2003.

Online Vehicle Inspection Data Network For efficient management of after service records, Hyundai Motor is developing Electronic Document Management System (EDMS). This online system will improve the overall quality of after sales activities by enabling mechanics to access vehicles inspection and maintenance history at any location connected to the network. The system can also be used as a training tool by service mechanics exchanging useful hints & tips. Furthermore, the communication and data exchange will occur simultaneously: it is now possible to provide quality services at a shorter period of time.

The publication of this rst sustainability report, represents a signicant step for HMC in realising its ambition of becoming a top ve global player
Arjan de Draaijer works as a verier with KPMG Sustainability in the Netherlands. He specialises in using assurance techniques to improve the quality of a companys sustainability report and the associated reporting organization. He has worked for several multinational companies.

As transparency is one of the important features for a recognized player in the international business arena, the publication of this rst sustainability report represents a signicant step for HMC in realising its ambition of becoming a top ve global player. Through our experience of working with HMC, in a partnership to develop its sustainability strategy, we feel that HMC still has some signicant challenges with respect to sustainability management and reporting ahead: Based on our visits to two plants and headquarters in Korea we have recommended HMC to increase the reliability of the reported information by improving the internal control procedures at all stages of the reporting process and developing a company wide reporting manual to align the denitions and scope of the key sustainability performance indicators globally. This will positively contribute to the effective management of sustainability throughout HMCs operations. The main focus of this rst sustainability report is on HMCs domestic operations. We have recommended HMC to widen the scope of the next sustainability report, in particular the performance information, to its global operations. This can be accomplished if HMC extends its good practice of registering environmental data at the Korean sites to the other countries where it operates and expands the scope of its reporting systems beyond environmental information. We regard HMCs intention to obtain external assurance on its next global sustainability report as a signicant step in HMCs journey on the road to sustainability.
