Lotte Chilsung Obtains Low-Carbon Product Certification for Three Tea Beverage Varieties

Lotte Chilsung Beverage announced on the 22nd that three products, ‘Oksususuyeomcha’ (Corn Silk Tea), ‘Hwanggeumbori’ (Golden Barley), and ‘Achimheotgae’ (Morning Hovenia), recently obtained the 'Low Carbon Product Certification' as part of its various efforts to acquire Environmental Product Declaration certification and reduce greenhouse gas emissions under ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.

The ‘Low Carbon Product Certification’ is granted to products that have received Environmental Product Declaration certification and meet the criteria specified in the ‘Low Carbon Product Standards’ notice. This certification is awarded to products that emit fewer greenhouse gases through fuel substitution and process improvements. To obtain the Low Carbon Product Certification, the carbon footprint of the previously certified Environmental Product Declaration must be below the ‘Maximum Allowable Carbon Emission’ or the ‘Carbon Emission Reduction Amount’ compared to the previous Environmental Product Declaration’s carbon footprint must be at least 3.3%.

The three tea beverage products from Lotte Chilsung Beverage met the standard of having product carbon emissions below the ‘Maximum Allowable Carbon Emission,’ which is the average emission level of similar products, thereby obtaining the ‘Low Carbon Product’ certification this time. A representative from Lotte Chilsung Beverage stated, “As part of our ESG management, we are expanding the acquisition of Low Carbon Product certifications for our products,” and added, “We will continue to carry out various greenhouse gas reduction activities as well as Low Carbon Product certification in the future.”
