Ecology in the first place

Our planet is our home. Climate change, resource depletion and other environmental issues concern all of us and at Hyundai are well aware of this. Hyundai Motor Company has long been a leader in the production of cars with alternative fuel drives. These futuristic fuels should be environmentally friendly.

“Hyundai Motor Company values ​​human values ​​and fulfils its corporate and social responsibility through environmental protection in the name of harmony between man, the environment and society.”

Environmental approach in HMMC

During the construction of the car factory, great emphasis was placed on environmental friendliness from the very beginning. More than a thousand trees in the area were not cut down but transplanted in a demanding manner.

At the plant, we have built a sophisticated logistics system based on the strategic location of the three main subcontractors directly in the industrial zone, two of which (Mobis and Transys) are connected to the Hyundai assembly shop using covered bridges. The volume of parts that are delivered to the assembly shop in a clean and silent manner is a daily load of 200 environmentally friendly trucks.

After the start of production, we introduced the ISO 14001 environmental management system, which we want to confirm and emphasize the importance of environmental responsibility in our company.

We use state-of-the-art technology and state-of-the-art laboratories to ensure environmental protection. We have implemented a waste management system throughout the production, but we also ensure their correct sorting.

By installing new regulated energy-saving lighting in the Transmission Shop, we reduced the electricity consumption for lighting by 52%.

In the HMMC area, a park has been built for employees to take a break and have some rest with 37 trees and 600 m2 of grass area.

At the Paint Shop, solvents are recycled from service (75% of the solvents are returned to the process).

95% of the materials used in car manufacturing are recyclable. 88% of HMMC waste is recycled. We use low VOC materials. As the only car manufacturer in the Czech Republic, we hold the EMAS certificate.
