[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] CJ OnStyle announced on the 6th that it is expanding social contribution activities that employees can enjoy practicing in their daily lives. The goal is to practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management for neighbors and the environment through volunteer programs tailored to each employee's preferences and circumstances.

CJ OnStyle stated that it encourages active participation in volunteer activities through the '1 YEAR 1 ACTION CHALLENGE.' Recently, it conducted a 'Handmade Gift Volunteer' program that creates cushions made by recycling sock cuffs and braille wall posters for the elderly and visually impaired children. This volunteer program, performed individually at home during leisure time, is highly satisfying for both volunteers, who can utilize their skills and hobbies, and beneficiaries, who receive special gifts. The number of participants for this handmade volunteer activity reached about 150.

Recently, CJ OnStyle also launched a talent donation program called 'On:話' that utilizes employees' content creation expertise. CJ OnStyle selects university student participants to produce content containing the life stories of elderly people and small business owners in Seocho-gu, Seoul. To enhance the quality of the works, CJ OnStyle employees with expertise in video content production serve as mentors to the university participants. From July to November, a small exhibition will be held featuring videos, webtoons, storybooks, and other content completed by the student supporters and mentors.

CJ OnStyle said, "We encourage employees to practice eco-friendly activities in their daily lives," adding, "If employees reduce the use of disposable containers and food waste at work and home, one hour of formal volunteer work will be recognized." This includes using a tumbler more than five times at the company caf? or certifying a table with no leftover food more than five times at the cafeteria or home on the website. Purchasing beverages and bottled water without labels or removing labels from containers and certifying this more than five times is also recognized as volunteer participation.

Jae-Hong Lim, Head of Strategy Support at CJ OnStyle, said, "CJ OnStyle is expanding daily volunteer programs that employees can easily practice in their lives to participate in social and environmental actions announced in the new ESG management policy 'YESGO.' We will practice ESG management in a way that allows employees to realize personal value by demonstrating their talents and skills while simultaneously increasing community satisfaction."
