Hyundai Rotem Practices ESG Management by Participating in Local Environmental Cleanup Campaign

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Hyundai Rotem announced on the 1st that it participated in the 'Uiwang Eco Plogging Relay Challenge' to help clean up the local environment. This is part of their effort to practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management by increasing eco-friendly social contribution activities.

Eco-plogging is an environmental cleanup campaign that involves picking up trash while walking or jogging, protecting both the environment and personal health simultaneously. Hyundai Rotem, which has its headquarters and research center in Uiwang City, participated as the final participant in this campaign, which started on April 28th with about 10 companies in the area.

The campaign took place at Wangsong Lake, a popular walking course among Uiwang citizens, while adhering to COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as wearing masks and personal hand sanitization. Hyundai Rotem employees carried individual trash bags and collected litter along the lakeside trail during their walk.

Starting with this campaign participation, Hyundai Rotem plans to gradually increase eco-friendly social contribution activities alongside its existing social contribution efforts. A Hyundai Rotem official stated, "We will continue to focus on environmental issues and internalize ESG activities through various eco-friendly social contribution initiatives."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Rotem actively conducts social contribution activities near areas where its railway vehicles operate through its representative social contribution program, 'Visiting the Underprivileged by Riding the Railroad.' The company carries out various activities such as volunteering in small room villages, supporting infant temporary shelters, sponsoring training for cultural interpreters for the hearing and visually impaired, and this year, it also donated consolation funds to the Army’s 1st Corps, 7th Corps, and Special Warfare Command.
