Lotte Mart Strengthens ESG Activities with Plogging Near Store Rivers

Approximately 800kg Garbage Collection

Lotte Mart announced on the 20th that it conducted plogging by visiting nearby rivers of its stores in celebration of World Water Day on the 22nd.

According to Lotte Mart, about 400 employees voluntarily participated in plogging at 22 rivers nationwide on the 17th, collecting approximately 800kg of trash. Collecting trash through plogging helps prevent methane gas emissions into the atmosphere, and the sorted waste promotes recycling, which is expected to reduce carbon emissions.

Kim Je-sang, store manager of Lotte Mart Yangpyeong Branch, who participated in plogging for the first time, said, "I started plogging with a light heart to protect the environment and take care of my health, but I was surprised by the amount of trash." He added, "Through this plogging event, we will strive to become a Lotte Mart that develops together with the local community."

A Lotte Mart official stated, "The Charlotte Volunteer Group not only donates to local affiliated children's organizations but also carries out environmental improvements in the local community through direct participation of employees." He added, "We will continue to carry out ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activities to protect the environment and coexist with the local community."
