MSC is an international non-profit organization that designates international standards certification for sustainable fisheries, minimizing marine environmental destruction such as overfishing, illegal fishing, and bycatch to ensure a stable supply of seafood in the future. Since last year, MSC Korea Awards have been held, and this year, awards were given to one company in each of five categories.

Homeplus was highly evaluated for actively distributing MSC-certified products over a long period. It currently handles the largest amount of MSC-certified seafood among domestic distributors and promotes the importance of sustainable fisheries through in-store displays and other means.

A Homeplus representative said, “As a food distribution company at the customer interface, we consider this award very meaningful,” adding, “We will continue to expand ethical consumption products and practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management for a sustainable future.”
