[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] CJ Freshway announced on the 21st that it conducted a two-week employee volunteer activity "Plogging" campaign until the 17th in celebration of Environment Month in June. Plogging is an activity that involves picking up trash and sorting it while taking a walk.

Held for the second time following last year, this plogging campaign was organized as part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management to contribute to local community environmental cleanup and to encourage active ESG practice among employees. CJ Freshway employees used pre-distributed plogging kits to carry out environmental cleanup activities around workplaces nationwide and near their homes. The plogging kits consisted of biodegradable bags, cotton gloves, stainless steel tongs, and other reusable items to allow multiple participations in plogging. During the two-week campaign period, about 400 CJ Freshway employees participated in plogging, sorting and disposing of approximately 2000 liters of waste.

A CJ Freshway official stated, “By sharing plogging campaign reviews from participants across the country with employees, we were able to deeply feel the necessity of environmental protection and make a firm commitment to actively participate in employee volunteer activities. We will continue to expand in-house ESG campaigns like plogging to internalize ESG management and practice sustainable values through waste reduction and carbon neutrality activities.”
