[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS Retail announced on the 7th that it will conduct a mudflat cleanup campaign in collaboration with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation.

The GS Retail volunteer group, along with university student reporters from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation, carried out mudflat cleanup activities on the 31st of last month around Waon Beach in Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do. Participants collected marine debris such as pollutants and plastic waste around Waon Beach. They also used the collected marine debris to create messages promoting mudflat conservation and encouraged participation in mudflat preservation efforts.

The main campaign conducted by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation, running until the 7th of next month, invites participants to find and remove trash around mudflats and upload a certification photo on their personal social networking service (SNS) with the required hashtags. Among the participants, 100 people will be selected to receive souvenirs.

A GS Retail official stated, "Through this campaign, we are cooperating to actively raise awareness about ecosystem preservation activities and the importance of biodiversity," adding, "We will faithfully fulfill our corporate environmental and social responsibilities through various ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activities."
