They also have dramatically reduced the amount of water and energy they consume and the amount of waste they produce.

As a result, we can see that eight out of the ten steps matched KT’s initiatives and provided support for KT’s top placing in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) for the third consecutive year. Thus, we can deduce that this theoretical viewpoint is to a large extent a practical application in the real world, and in this case, KT.
