[Asia Economy Reporter Noh Kyung-jo] Dongbu Construction announced on the 18th that it has been conducting an environmental cleanup activity called 'Plogging Dongbu' since this month as part of its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts.

Plogging refers to the activity of picking up trash while jogging or running. Dongbu Construction explained that the purpose is to practice environmental protection while improving on-site working conditions and enhancing safety by identifying and removing waste in advance.

All employees at the headquarters and construction sites regularly participate in Plogging Dongbu on Safety Inspection Day and Quality Inspection Day every month. It will also be conducted during external events such as introductory training sessions and workshops in the future.

Dongbu Construction also stated that it has started a zero single-use item relay encouraging the use of reusable cups and eco-bags to protect the environment within the company. Within the company’s metaverse system, Meta Dongbu, an employee marketplace called 'Dongbu Flea Market (Sharing Market)' is operated where employees can trade secondhand goods.

A Dongbu Construction official said, "As we promote various ESG campaigns, employee interest is increasing," adding, "We will continue diverse activities to establish an ESG culture early on."
