K-water has set up its policy aimed at innovation in water quality management and taking the lead in the global market, following Park Jae-hyeon's appointment as CEO at the end of February.

The firm has since conducted consultations with various experts form within and outside of the company, and has come up with its World Top K-water vision to respond better to worsening climate change and digital transformation in the post-COVID-19 period.

Its plans include implementing a smart water management system by, for example, establishing a real-time water quality monitoring system.

"We need to seek coexistence with nature in the water quality management in the face of the new normal era, placing more importance on environmental and ecological value," Park said.

"K-water will actively participate in the government's Green New Deal eco-friendly projects in a bid to contribute to vitalizing the national economy. We will also take the lead in setting up global water management standards in a bid to make a new leap forward as the world's top water platform company that contributes to resolving water shortage problems."
