Jung Il-moon, CEO of Korea Investment & Securities, participated in the 'GoGo Challenge' campaign to reduce plastic use in daily life.

[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] Jung Il-moon, CEO of Korea Investment & Securities, a subsidiary of Korea Financial Group, participated in the Go! Go! Challenge on the 13th to practice reducing plastic use in daily life.

Launched in January by the Ministry of Environment, the Go! Go! Challenge is an SNS relay campaign aimed at reducing the use of disposable products and plastics in everyday life. Participants pledge actions to avoid and actions to take, and then recommend the next participant.

CEO Jung proposed the pledge "Reduce disposable product use, increase ESG investment," stating, "We will become a securities company that practices right thinking and right actions for customers and the environment."

Korea Investment & Securities is expanding sustainable management activities by presenting financial order that meets customer expectations through proactive financial consumer protection policies and increasing eco-friendly investments for carbon neutrality. In May, it established an ESG Committee and was selected as a market maker for the greenhouse gas emissions trading market, promoting various businesses related to carbon emission rights.

CEO Jung joined the Go! Go! Challenge upon the recommendation of Na Jae-cheol, Chairman of the Korea Financial Investment Association. He recommended Yoon Ho-young, CEO of KakaoBank, as the next participant.
