[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Hyundai Green Food announced on the 2nd that it has obtained the environmental management system 'ISO14001' certification from the Korea Foundation for Quality (KFQ), a global standard and certification authority.

ISO14001 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that certifies whether a company has established a systematic management system that prioritizes 'environmental management' as an important criterion.

A Hyundai Green Food official explained, "We prioritize eco-friendly management in our work priorities, and we have been recognized for establishing specific goals and systematically implementing plans according to relevant laws and guidelines, which led to obtaining the ISO 14001 certification."

Hyundai Green Food plans to use this environmental management system certification as a stepping stone to further expand its eco-friendly activities and efforts. To this end, it has set an environmental management goal called 'Project Green' and plans to actively promote three mid- to long-term environmental management areas: ▲Green Life ▲Green Together ▲Green Company.

'Green Life' involves developing healthy and safe food using ingredients that help protect the environment. The core is to develop group meal menus using low-carbon or eco-friendly certified agricultural and marine products. The plan includes doubling the number of 'low-carbon menus,' which are plant-based foods that emit up to 80% less greenhouse gases compared to animal-based diets, and replacing about 10 ingredients such as onions and tomatoes with 'low-carbon certified' products through farm discovery.

'Green Together' aims to reduce the use of environmentally harmful packaging materials and expand various eco-friendly packages. Additionally, Hyundai Green Food plans to expand the 'Greeting Container Upcycling Campaign,' which collects plastic waste generated within business sites and turns it into eco-friendly chairs. Furthermore, through 'Green Company,' it will introduce additional eco-friendly facilities and energy-saving systems, while expanding employee volunteer activities and eco-friendly education.

A Hyundai Green Food official stated, "We will continue to comply with domestic and international environmental laws and agreements and carry out various efforts to preserve the local community's environment," adding, "We will also continue various ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activities to create a sustainable future."
