Yogiyo CEO Kang Shin-bong Joins the GoGo Challenge for Plastic-Free Initiative

Promise to Reduce Plastic Use in Everyday Life

Kang Shin-bong, CEO of Yogiyo, is participating in the Gogo Challenge.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Delivery app Yogiyo announced on the 5th that CEO Kang Shin-bong has joined the 'GoGo Challenge,' a de-plastic practice movement aimed at reducing plastic in daily life.

The GoGo Challenge is a relay campaign started by the Ministry of Environment in January this year to reduce plastic use in everyday life. The nominated participant makes a pledge to reduce the use of plastic and disposable items in daily life and then nominates the next participant.

CEO Kang Shin-bong presented the practice message, "At Yogiyo, do not accept disposable spoons, and use reusable cups within the company." Currently, Yogiyo is carrying out various internal and external eco-friendly activities for environmental protection. Since June, disposable spoons and forks, which were previously provided by default, are now only provided upon customer request.

In addition, disposable plastic cups used in the company cafe have been completely replaced with eco-friendly reusable cups. Through this, the company aims to reduce the use of 160,000 disposable cups annually and achieve the effect of planting 520 pine trees, making efforts to expand an eco-friendly culture throughout the company.

CEO Kang said, "Taking this campaign as an opportunity, we will reduce disposable items within the company and further encourage all employees to actively participate in the zero-waste movement."

CEO Kang joined the challenge upon the recommendation of Dong-A Pharmaceutical CEO Choi Ho-jin and recommended CEO Kim Hyung-soo of the social venture company ‘Triple Planet’ as the next participant.
