Gibo, 'Yonggi Challenge' Campaign for Practicing Carbon Neutral Living

Contributing to Carbon Absorption Forest Creation through Personal Cup Usage Pledge and Practice

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Chairman Kim Jong-ho, hereinafter Kibo) announced on the 24th that it will conduct the 'Yonggi Challenge Season 2' campaign as part of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.

This event is a Season 2 national participation environmental campaign following last year's 'Yonggi Challenge,' designed to spread a culture of reducing single-use products through pledging and practicing the use of personal cups.

To participate in the campaign, individuals can take a quiz on carbon-neutral lifestyle practices on the Kibo website, pledge to use personal cups instead of disposable cups, and then put it into practice. After the campaign ends, Kibo plans to plant trees proportional to the number of participants to create a carbon-absorbing forest. Last year, based on the number of participants, Kibo planted a total of 764 trees in Gangwon Province, contributing to the restoration of forest ecological functions and carbon neutrality.

Additionally, Kibo is striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by building low-carbon infrastructure within the institution, including ▲self-generation of renewable energy ▲expansion of electric vehicle adoption ▲digitalization of work ▲expansion of eco-friendly public procurement.

Kim Jong-ho, Chairman of Kibo, stated, "Kibo is taking the lead in the government's carbon neutrality policy through building low-carbon infrastructure within the company and various practical activities. Through the campaign, we will actively promote environmental conservation awareness and ecosystem restoration by increasing participation rates among employees and the public."
