Burger King Participates in the 'GoGo Challenge' for a Sustainable Future

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Burger King announced on the 2nd that it will participate in the Ministry of Environment's relay campaign, 'GoGo Challenge.'

The 'GoGo Challenge,' which involves promising one habit to avoid and one habit to practice in daily life to reduce disposable products and plastics, is a relay campaign started by the Ministry of Environment in January. It proceeds by sharing photos and videos related to the promised habits on social networking services (SNS) and then recommending three next participants.

Burger King, participating in this campaign under the nomination of Baedal Minjok, promised to "reduce the use of disposable cups in stores and promote the use of reusable cups," and subsequently nominated SmartStudy, Diageo Korea, and Dunkin' Donuts as the next participants. Burger King encourages the use of reusable cups by offering a 200 KRW discount when customers bring their own cups when ordering drinks in-store.

Burger King is striving to realize sustainability in a wide range of areas including the environment, local communities, and ingredients. Emphasizing its brand identity of "offering the highest quality food," it has introduced the 'Real Food' initiative that customers can always trust and enjoy. In addition to excluding L-glutamic acid sodium, Burger King is conducting the 'Real Whopper' project to improve the ingredients of all components in the Whopper, such as buns, mayonnaise, ketchup, and pickles, by removing fragrances, colorants, preservatives, and additives. This project was introduced domestically in January this year after five years of preparation.

Moon Young-joo, CEO of Burger King, stated, "We promise to be a brand that does its best in various ways for a better future for Burger King, consumers, and ultimately the planet."
