Corporations are asked to strategically cope with global environmental changes using LCA or eco-design practices.

We have tried to develop a LCA based management framework enhancing product competitiveness by proactively comply with global regulations and integrating environment into a product strategy.

The Samsung Techwin Co. adopted this initiative in 2004
