South Korea, a powerhouse of industrial innovation, is a global leader in industries such as semiconductors, petrochemicals, and steel. These sectors are vital to the country’s economy but face growing challenges in efficiently managing resources like water, energy, and waste. Rising environmental regulations, operational costs, and pressure to meet [ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)](https://www.veolia.kr/en/planet/achieving-your-esg-goals-south-korea "ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)") goals add to the complexity across all industrial sectors. The South Korean government targets a 35% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to **achieve carbon neutrality by 2050**. This ambitious agenda highlights the need for innovative solutions that combine efficiency and sustainability. ## **What Are On-Site Services ?** **On-Site Services (OSS) are tailored solutions designed to operate directly on industrial sites, providing efficient management of water, energy, and waste resources.** ### Scope of OSS Solutions: [**Water Supply**](https://www.veolia.kr/en/water-management "Water Management"): Ensures reliable access to ultra-pure water, critical for high-precision industries such as semiconductors, while managing effluent treatment and recycling to reduce water consumption.
