Home&Shopping Practices 'ESG Management' by Using Eco-Friendly Packaging

Support for Eco-friendly Ice Packs and Paper Tape to SMEs Partners

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Home&Shopping (CEO Kim Ok-chan) announced on the 31st that it will support eco-friendly packaging materials for small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) partners. With the recent increase in social interest in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, the company decided to provide eco-friendly packaging materials worth 30 million KRW to help SME partners participate in and establish eco-friendly management together.

The intention is to reduce the cost burden of using eco-friendly packaging materials for SMEs and to enhance convenience for customers when separating and disposing of packaging materials. Starting from September, the eco-friendly packaging support will be provided free of charge to partners who wish to use eco-friendly ice packs and paper tape among directly purchased and Ilsacheonri products.

The eco-friendly ice packs are filled 100% with water, making separation and disposal easy, and the packaging materials can be recycled as vinyl. Unlike conventional vinyl tape, the eco-friendly paper tape can be disposed of together with the box without separate separation.

Home&Shopping plans to expand interest in ESG management among SMEs by supporting the production of foldable boxes made of paper materials that do not use non-woven fabric or vinyl for clothing products in the future.

A Home&Shopping official said, "We started using eco-friendly packaging materials mainly for directly controlled direct purchase products and Ilsacheonri products," adding, "We will continue to do our best to fulfill the company's social responsibility through various ESG management activities."
