"Practicing New Entrepreneurship" SK Gas Conducts Eco-Friendly Campaign During Vacation Season

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] SK Gas announced on the 1st that it will conduct an 'Eco-friendly Campaign for the Vacation Season' through voluntary participation of its members to mark the start of the peak vacation season.

This campaign was planned to actively practice the 'New Corporate Spirit,' to reflect on the often overlooked value of the environment during the vacation season, and to internalize ESG management by creating social value.

The New Corporate Spirit is a concept proclaimed last May by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, emphasizing the role of companies and encouraging participation to transform themselves in order to solve new crises and challenges such as digital transformation, climate change, and population decline together, thereby creating a sustainable community.

The SK Gas Eco-friendly Campaign for the vacation season will run for one month from the 1st to the 31st. Members voluntarily participate in carbon reduction challenges in daily life such as using personal cups and personal shopping bags, removing labels when sorting recyclables, zero food waste, and using stairs. They also engage in environmental protection volunteer activities such as plogging, making upcycled aprons from 'waste nets,' producing ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) clocks, creating Earth moss frames, and the 'Protect the Hot Earth' campaign.

In particular, the 'Protect the Hot Earth' activity involves creating and providing pop-up books that teach children about the causes and seriousness of global warming and help them practice eco-friendly living, making it a meaningful educational activity that passes on the value of the environment to future generations.

Along with this internal campaign, SK Gas also participates in the first joint challenge of the ERT (New Corporate Spirit Council), titled 'Revive the Region, Save the Environment.' This activity involves protecting the environment while on vacation in rural areas by picking up trash in volume-based waste bags, using reusable containers, and taking trash back home, thereby contributing to the local community’s economy and environment.

An SK Gas official said, "During the vacation season, the use of disposable products and the amount of waste increase, and leftover food rises, raising concerns about environmental pollution. We expect that through this eco-friendly campaign, people will pay more attention to the environment and contribute to local environmental issues, thereby creating social value."
