'Zero Food Waste Challenge' Implementation

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi]KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 13th that it will carry out the KB Green Month activities, focusing on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) themes to practice carbon neutrality.

KB Green Month was initiated to set a period for eco-friendly practice activities, encouraging employees to implement ESG lifestyles in their daily lives. As the first activity, the "Zero Food Waste Challenge" will be held during the Chuseok holiday, when food waste significantly increases.

The KB Kookmin Bank headquarters cafeteria plans to implement a system where employees receive only the amount of food they can eat to reduce leftovers, and will also operate a "Zero Waste Day," providing single-dish meals such as bibimbap and rice bowls without side dishes.

Additionally, KB Kookmin Bank plans to hold an event encouraging employees to purchase only the amount of ingredients needed to cook at home during the holiday and to eat without leaving leftovers, promoting zero food waste in daily life. They will also provide recipes that utilize leftover food.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, "The amount of food waste generated domestically is about 14,000 tons per day, accounting for 28.7% of the total waste generated," adding, "KB Kookmin Bank employees plan to participate in carbon emission reduction activities by having meals that are cleanly finished."
