BPA is conducting the labor-management joint ESG campaign "Traditional Market Together Hae."

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan Port Authority (BPA) will conduct the ESG campaign “BPA Labor-Management Joint Traditional Market Together海” starting from the 16th in collaboration with the Sujeong Traditional Market Merchants Association, its sister market.

Employees and executives will participate together in environmental cleanup activities within the market and carry out the campaign by purchasing necessary items from the traditional market.

On the 16th, employees from the direct departments and the management headquarters held a boiled pork tasting event with the Sujeong Market Merchants Association and the Sujeong Traditional Market Specialized First Step Market Development Project Group, and conducted environmental cleanup activities throughout the alleys of the traditional market to create a clean street.

Following this, they purchased office supplies and refreshments for meetings carrying shopping bags provided by the merchants association.

The campaign will be held in a relay format by headquarters over four sessions: starting on the 16th, then on the 19th with the Operations Headquarters, on the 24th with the Construction Headquarters, and on the 25th with the Global Business Group and Port Regeneration Project Group.

Baek Hyung-jin, chairman of the Sujeong Traditional Market Merchants Association, said, “Our market has maintained a deep bond with BPA for a long time,” and added, “We are grateful that BPA supports environmental improvement projects and that employees personally visit the market this year as well, providing various kinds of help.”

Kang Jun-seok, president of BPA, said, “This campaign is one of the sincere efforts our authority is making to coexist with local small business owners,” and added, “We will continue to strive to grow together with traditional markets.”

BPA supported the improvement of product displays at traditional market stores last October and contributed to creating a safe traditional market environment through support for COVID-19 quarantine supplies, among other efforts, earning the ‘Minister of the Interior and Safety Commendation for Revitalizing Traditional Markets and Shopping Districts’ this year.
