"Practicing ESG in Daily Life" NongHyup Distribution Launches Plogging Campaign for All Employees

On the 31st, Nonghyup Distribution employees conducted a plogging campaign for environmental cleanup near Yeouicheon, close to the Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Yangjae branch in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Nonghyup Distribution, which operates Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, a specialty agricultural products store, announced on the 31st that it will conduct a plogging campaign for three months from May 1 to June 30.

The plogging campaign is a volunteer activity campaign that combines the Swedish word "Plocka Upp," meaning "to pick up ears (of grain)," and the English word "Jogging," referring to picking up trash while walking or jogging.

As part of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, Nonghyup Distribution decided to implement this campaign at all Nonghyup Distribution Hanaro Marts, starting with the Yeouicheon plogging campaign in Yangjae-dong, Seoul. To this end, from April 1 to June 30, each Hanaro Mart will designate a plogging day to clean up the environment near the Hanaro Mart.

Nonghyup Distribution stated, "We will continue to actively practice expanding sales of low-carbon agricultural products and co-growth with agriculture, rural areas, and local communities."
