HMM Employees Participate in Beach Cleanup Activities on Yeongjongdo Island

HMM's new employees and executives conducted a cleanup activity around Geojampo Beach in Yeongjongdo, which is designated as a 'Companion Beach,' the company announced on the 2nd.

A Companion Beach is a beach adoption program where companies or organizations designate a specific beach to care for and maintain it like a companion animal. The company received adoption approval from the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation in January this year. They collected trash around the beach area and cleaned the green spaces along the walking trails. More than 50 people participated in this activity, including the Coast Guard and the Deokgyo Fishing Village Cooperative.

The company plans to conduct cleanup activities at least three times a year. Since 2021, the company has been running a beachcombing campaign, which involves picking up marine debris and trash. Besides company employees, many members of the public also participate through social media. Additionally, they recycle waste ropes used on ships and used PET bottles.

On the 31st of last month, over 50 participants including HMM new employees who joined this year, executives and staff, the Coast Guard, and members of the Deokgyo Fishing Village participated in the 'Companion Beach Cleanup Activity' held around Geojampo Beach in Yeongjongdo.
