[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea East-West Power announced on the 27th that it has purchased an additional 6 electric cargo vehicles, bringing the total number of eco-friendly vehicles to 30. The company plans to replace all official vehicles with eco-friendly ones by 2024.

As of today, the proportion of eco-friendly vehicles among East-West Power's business vehicles is 50%. This already exceeds the public sector eco-friendly vehicle target of "35% by 2022" announced by the Ministry of Environment last May by 15 percentage points.

Earlier this month, the general boiler installed at the headquarters building in Jung-gu, Ulsan was replaced with a low-NOx boiler that reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. In the first half of the year, all lighting fixtures in company housing were replaced with light-emitting diode (LED) products.

Energy equipment was purchased from facilities producing for severely disabled persons, disabled enterprises, and social enterprises. This means East-West Power has contributed to realizing social value.

An East-West Power official stated, "We will continue to strive to expand the distribution and infrastructure of eco-friendly vehicles and actively introduce eco-friendly and high-efficiency equipment, taking the lead in fulfilling our social responsibility as a public institution."
