Hyundai Home Shopping Obtains 'Environmental Management System Certification' ... "Strengthening Eco-Friendly Management"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Hyundai Home Shopping announced on the 7th that it has obtained the 'ISO14001' certification, an international standard for environmental management systems, from the Korea Standards Association (KSA).

ISO14001 is a certification established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that comprehensively evaluates whether a company has established a system to systematically manage 'environmental management' as an important criterion. A Hyundai Home Shopping official explained, "We have been recognized for prioritizing eco-friendly management in our work system and for systematically establishing specific goals and plans in accordance with related laws and guidelines."

Hyundai Home Shopping plans to use this environmental management system certification as a stepping stone to further expand eco-friendly activities and efforts under the environmental management goal called 'H-YEP (Yes! Environment Protection)'.

First, it will continuously carry out a mid- to long-term 'eco-friendly campaign' to spread eco-friendly culture in daily life. Hyundai Home Shopping has been operating an 'ice pack collection campaign' every month since 2018, collecting unused ice packs from customers. Last year, it directly collected used frying pans, recycled them into new frying pans for sale, and this year, it has been collecting used PET bottles to create eco-friendly bags, conducting eco-friendly campaigns that customers can easily participate in.

By using 'eco-friendly packaging,' it aims to reduce the use of packaging materials harmful to health and the environment and expand various eco-friendly packaging. Representative examples include the introduction of 'wing boxes' that do not use tape, clothing packaging using 'eco-friendly polybags' made from recycled materials, and ice packs made with 100% water. Hyundai Home Shopping plans to more than double the proportion of eco-friendly packaging materials used annually compared to last year.

It will reduce carbon emissions and build consensus on eco-friendly management through in-house campaigns that employees can easily participate in, strengthening its role as an 'eco-friendly company.' In addition to introducing eco-friendly facilities and energy-saving systems, it plans to expand employee volunteer activities and eco-friendly education.

A Hyundai Home Shopping official said, "We will continue to comply with domestic and international environmental laws and agreements and carry out various efforts to preserve the environment of local communities. We will also continue various ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activities to create a sustainable future."
