[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] GS Engineering & Construction announced on the 26th that Heo Yunhong, head of the New Business Division, has joined the plastic-free movement 'GoGo Challenge.'

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

Heo, who joined upon the nomination of Lee Geonwoo, CEO of Hyundai HT, said, "The use of disposable products has increased recently due to COVID-19," adding, "It is important to consciously practice small actions as lifestyle habits that can be implemented in daily life to protect the Earth."

Heo was appointed as a director of the Korea branch of the non-profit nature conservation organization World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in April this year. GS Engineering & Construction has also participated in 'Earth Hour,' the world's largest global lights-off campaign hosted by WWF. Heo nominated Oh Chihoon, president of Daehan Steel, as the next participant in the challenge.
