On the 6th, Shinsegae Food announced that it signed a business agreement with the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation at its headquarters in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, to cooperate in the food tech industry and promote low-carbon diets as part of ESG management practices. Through this agreement, both organizations will collaborate to expand the base of the food tech industry and actively participate in the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation's 'Green Food Day' campaign, which aims to spread low-carbon dietary habits.

The Green Food Day campaign by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation is a movement to achieve carbon neutrality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire process of food production, processing, distribution, and consumption. Various companies and institutions are participating in this campaign. Through this agreement, Shinsegae Food plans to further promote the social values of alternative meat, such as human health, animal welfare, and the global environment, alongside its eco-friendly dietary proposals using its alternative meat product 'Better Meat.' Additionally, the company intends to accelerate the development of various alternative food products, including convenient meals, bakery items, and sauces, which consumers can easily incorporate into their daily lives.

A Shinsegae Food representative stated, “Since carbon emissions in the food sector have a significant impact on the climate crisis, we will fulfill our social responsibility as a food company. We plan to strengthen ESG management through eco-friendly activities across all business areas, including the development of alternative foods.”
