Topcentral Invited to Attend Lotte Chemical’s 5th Partner Environmental Seminar — Co-Shaping the Future of Sustainable Supply Chains

On the afternoon of the 28th, Lotte Chemical hosted its “5th Partner Environmental Seminar” at the iconic Lotte World Tower in Seoul. As a long-standing and key partner of Lotte Chemical, Topcentral was invited to attend this prestigious gathering, joining approximately 70 partner companies to explore emerging trends in environmental regulations within sustainable supply chain management.

The seminar’s theme — “Evolving Environmental Regulations in Sustainable Supply Chain Management” — centered on global shifts in environmental policy and their tangible impact on corporate operations. Since its inception in 2022, this annual event has become a vital platform for knowledge-sharing and collaborative growth between Lotte Chemical and its partners.

In his opening remarks, the Head of Lotte Chemical’s ESG Management Division emphasized: “The world is accelerating the development and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations. A company’s ability to respond is increasingly becoming a core competitive advantage. We will advance hand-in-hand with our partners, achieving mutual growth through symbiotic collaboration.”

During the seminar, industry experts and Lotte Chemical’s team presented critical insights — including updates on Korea’s environmental regulations, the K-REACH voluntary reporting system, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and certification frameworks, and ESG support programs for supply chains — offering partners highly actionable guidance. As the EU and other major economies intensify environmental oversight across global supply chains, Korean enterprises now face real compliance challenges. Establishing transparent, end-to-end supply chain management systems and ensuring the authenticity of environmental data have become essential imperatives.

Through this seminar, Topcentral gained deeper insight into the latest international environmental regulations, strengthened its sustainability mindset, and acquired valuable reference points to enhance its environmental governance and green supply chain management. The event not only equipped Topcentral with up-to-date regulatory intelligence and industry foresight aligned with global standards, but also charted a clear path forward — refining our environmental management systems, optimizing product lifecycle strategies, and preparing for international green trade barriers.

Moving forward, Topcentral will continue to closely collaborate with leading enterprises like Lotte Chemical, actively translating seminar insights into concrete actions. We are committed to continuously elevating our capabilities in sustainable supply chain management — jointly advancing the industry toward greener, low-carbon, and high-quality development, and creating enduring value for customers and society alike.
