GS Retail Participates in 'Environmental Education Business Agreement'... "Accelerating ESG Management"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS Retail announced on the 8th that it participated in the 'Environmental Education Business Agreement Ceremony for Realizing a Sustainable Future' hosted by the Ministry of Environment.

At the agreement ceremony held at the InterContinental Seoul COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, GS Retail Vice Chairman Heo Yeon-su promised to continue promotional activities to conduct environmental education for employees and to foster a voluntary carbon neutrality practice atmosphere. He also pledged to discover social contribution projects related to environmental education and to launch a nationwide campaign to expand these efforts throughout society.

In March last year, GS Retail launched an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Promotion Committee chaired by Vice Chairman Heo. Adopting Green Life Together as the ESG strategic direction, the company selected three major environmental tasks: Green Product, Green Store, and Green Value Chain, and has been carrying out various eco-friendly and social contribution projects company-wide. Last year, it also published a sustainability management report.

A GS Retail official stated, "ESG management focuses on practical activities centered on implementation," adding, "A recent company-wide plogging activity is a representative example, with over 1,200 employees nationwide participating joyfully to contribute to saving the planet."
