Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Our mission is to convert diverse raw materials and energy sources into the useful forms of materials and energy the world needs, and to do so in the safest, most environmentally responsible, and most efficient way in the world.
Preconditions to Achieve Our Mission
Our mission encompasses our direction, goals, and the preconditions for achieving them, listed in order of importance. We will only achieve our Mission through the safest, most environmentally responsible, and most efficient methods.

Transforming Materials and Energy in the Most Efficient Way
1.Safety
Safety is the most important of the three conditions. Life is the most precious asset we possess, thus, safety must always be our number one priority. It is our fundamental right to perform our duties and return home safely every day.
All of our employees always carefully manage and strictly adhere to established safety rules to maintain a safe workplace. We are committed to ensuring that every individual follows the set safety protocols, acknowledging that creating and maintaining the safest workplace is a collective responsibility.
2.Environment
No matter how well we can make products while saving energy and money, our mission is lost if we harm the environment.
We must always remember our noble obligation; to make sure our children and their future children grow up in a clean and healthy environment.
We emphasize environmental values through our Troika Drive (renewable energy and green hydrogen business,
resource circulation business, secondary battery material business), and all employees pursue the most eco-friendly methods in their daily work.
3.Efficiency
Our most efficient methods have the following three aspects:
-
① Securing Competitive Raw Materials
Our striving for market competitiveness helps us discover and secure high-quality raw materials. Additionally, we pursue the continuous development of technologies and raw materials that maximize the recycling of valuable metals from urban mines.
This helps prevent the depletion of natural resources and protect the global environment from pollution caused by mining.
-
② Understanding what the world needs
We proactively analyze and meet the concerns and desires of the ‘world’ or ‘customers’ beyond fulfilling their functional needs. It seeks ways to grow together by meeting customers’ expectations.
This approach aims to create new demand beyond existing demand.
-
③ Turning the raw materials we acquire into the forms the world needs
Considering the above two aspects, we produce raw materials into products in the most competitive way by maximizing innovative technology development and production efficiency.
We continuously pursue innovation in technology and production, such as integrated zinc-lead-copper processes.
Vision
We aim to create momentum for future businesses such as renewable energy and hydrogen infrastructure development, secondary battery materials, and wind power generation, while pursuing circular economic value based on our current solid business foundation. Through these efforts, we seek to find solutions that open a happy future for all.

Secondary Battery Materials Businesses
Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen Business
We are actively promoting solar power generation through Sun Metals Corporation in Australia and wind power generation through Ark Energy. As the first to join RE100 in the industry, we are striving to move towards an eco-friendly smelting industry. In the future, we plan to expand our renewable energy business based on solar and wind power, and further extend into hydrogen infrastructure to lead green hydrogen production and demand.
Resource Recycling Businesses
Leveraging our world-class smelting technology, we actively pursue recycling businesses that extract metals from E-scrap and E-waste.
Through Steel Cycle Co., Ltd., we reduce waste by processing it through RHF treatment to produce crude zinc oxide,
which is then used in zinc smelting. Additionally, we are establishing a resource circulation system
that converts discarded electronic products from various countries into raw materials for urban mining,
reducing mining volumes and protecting the environment.
Secondary Battery Materials Businesses
Based on our unique technological prowess accumulated over the years, we are actively pursuing the production of
core materials for secondary batteries such as copper foil, nickel sulfate, and precursors through KZAM, KEMCO, and Korea Precursor.
We are determined to keep pushing forward, including starting construction on a nickel sulfate refinery,
as it strives to lead the domestic secondary battery materials industry.
