Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Drives Eco-Friendly Efforts... Launches 'Green Training Center' Campaign

Use of Disposable Materials in Training Center
660 Daily Users... Annual Carbon Reduction of 3.6 Tons

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance has urged all employees to refrain from using disposable products at its training centers. The company appears to be focusing on eco-friendly management, including efforts to boost ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments.

According to the insurance industry on the 20th, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance has launched the 'Green Training Center Campaign' to accelerate ESG management. This eco-friendly program encourages all employees using Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance training centers located in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and Daejeon Metropolitan City to voluntarily reduce the use of disposable products and use reusable cups such as tumblers.

Participants in training sessions are informed in advance about the mandatory carrying of tumblers, and digital banners encouraging the use of reusable cups have been posted throughout the lecture halls. The supply of disposable cups within the training centers has already been discontinued. Cafes offer discounted prices on beverages to those who bring reusable cups. Reusable cups are also provided for loan to trainees who do not bring their own tumblers. These cups are used during the training period at the training center cafes and then returned.

With an average of 660 trainees using the training centers daily, assuming the use of reusable cups instead of two paper cups per day, it is estimated that 3.6 tons of carbon emissions can be reduced annually. This is equivalent to the carbon absorption effect of 1,303 trees.

A Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance official said, "Since this year, we have introduced the 'Eco Peace' program to practice waste separation, reduce paper usage, and decrease plastic use," adding, "We will also strive to establish and spread this campaign within the company through the actions and efforts of our employees."

This is not the first time Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance has focused on eco-friendliness. Since 2012, it has operated the industry's first dedicated ESG team and established a Sustainable Management Committee chaired by the CEO. In particular, it has made eco-friendliness the core of its ESG management. By 2025, the company plans to invest a total of 500 billion KRW in new projects, including 300 billion KRW annually in renewable energy businesses such as solar and wind power, and 200 billion KRW annually in high-quality corporate ESG bonds. The investment scope will also expand from renewable energy to eco-friendly transportation such as electric and hydrogen ships, zero-energy buildings, and green remodeling in the real estate sector.
