Park Jaehyun, President of Sugong, Participates in the 'GoGo Relay' Campaign to Promote Plastic-Free Practices

'RE100 Declaration' Korea Water Resources Corporation
Commitment to Reducing Plastic in Daily Life

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea Water Resources Corporation participated in a campaign on the 8th to spread the practice of plastic reduction in daily life.

The campaign "Go Go Relay," initiated by the Ministry of Environment, is a movement spreading through SNS with the meaning of "(refusing one thing you should not do) go, (practicing one thing you should do) go" to reduce plastic usage.

The first participant in the campaign, Minister of Environment Cho Myung-rae, pledged to practice plastic reduction on the 4th and nominated Park Jae-hyun, President of Korea Water Resources Corporation (photo), as the next participant.

President Park declared the practice of plastic reduction in daily life, such as "reducing unnecessary use of vinyl" and "carrying eco-bags or shopping bags," and posted the details on the Korea Water Resources Corporation Facebook page.

He then nominated Mayor Heo Tae-kyung of Daejeon, Professor Park Chang-geun of Catholic Kwandong University, and Lee Kyung-hee, Head of the Environment Division at Korea Water Resources Corporation, as the next participants.

Since September last year, Korea Water Resources Corporation has been making efforts to minimize plastic use, such as removing vinyl labels from bottled emergency drinking water and declaring participation in the global campaign RE100 as the first public institution in November. RE100 means replacing 100% of the electricity used by companies with renewable energy.

Taking this opportunity to participate in the Go Go Relay, the Ministry of Environment plans to continuously promote the "Plastic Diet, Let's Do It Together" campaign to internal employees and the public so that small efforts for the environment can be gathered.
