Emart Replaces Store Service Vehicles with Electric Cars... "Accelerating ESG Management"

On the 29th, Emart announced that it will convert all of its approximately 160 commercial vehicles to electric vehicles.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Emart announced on the 29th that it will convert all 160 work vehicles used in its marts, Traders, and logistics centers to electric vehicles to practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.

Emart conducted a pilot replacement of work vehicles at the Seongsu branch in November last year and plans to sequentially replace all 160 vehicles from the 30th of this month until the end of August. Through this electric vehicle replacement, it is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 1,100 tons annually and achieve the effect of planting 400,000 new pine trees each year.

Emart operates about 460 electric vehicle chargers at 118 stores nationwide. SSG.com introduced electric delivery vehicles equipped with a cold chain (low-temperature distribution system) in 2020, and after pilot operations, currently has about 90 electric vehicles in operation.

An Emart official stated, “We will take the lead in eco-friendly activities and strengthen ESG management through autonomous electric vehicle conversion and expansion of electric vehicle charging facilities within Emart stores.”
