[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Ahn Ho-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea and National Assembly member for Jeonbuk Wanju, Jinan, Muju, and Jangsu, received the Grand Prize in the Environment and Labor Committee category at the ‘2021 National Assembly Audit Scoreboard Awards’ ceremony held on the 17th.

This award is presented annually by Money Today the300, which evaluates the inquiries of members belonging to each standing committee within the National Assembly during the National Assembly audit period.

At this year’s Ministry of Environment audit, Representative Ahn revealed that Samsung Electronics had the lowest performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the industry.

He also summoned Samsung Electronics as a witness, securing a promise to expand greenhouse gas reduction facilities.

Additionally, through experiments, he uncovered that microplastics are released from absorbent pads used in packaging for meat and fish, which recently led the distribution industry, led by large supermarkets, to begin phasing out SAP pads that had become problematic.

In the Ministry of Employment and Labor audit, he analyzed the employment regulations of Hwacheon Daeyu, which is suspected of receiving special favors related to the Daejang-dong development project in Seongnam City.

Representative Ahn said, “The National Assembly audit is called the flower of the regular session because it is the most effective opportunity for the National Assembly to improve the lives of the people,” adding, “I am pleased to be recognized for such efforts and will continue to devote myself solely to the people’s livelihood as a policy expert.”
