Chairman Choi Jeong-woo Leads POSCO's Eco-friendly Steel in 'Bye Bye Plastic Challenge'

"Becoming a Company That Adds Value to an Eco-Friendly World"

Choi Jung-woo, Chairman of POSCO Group, participated in the Ministry of Environment's eco-friendly campaign to reduce unnecessary plastic, the 'Bye Bye Plastic Challenge.'

Chairman Choi joined the campaign after being nominated by Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon. On the 31st, he promised group-level participation and action together with new employees of POSCO Group.

For this challenge, Chairman Choi specially produced a POSART steel placard made from recycled steel to link the eco-friendly challenge with eco-friendly steel materials, adding more significance. POSART is a high-resolution inkjet printed steel sheet developed by POSCO Steelion.

In a post with a photo, Chairman Choi said, "POSCO was the first steel company in Asia to declare carbon neutrality by 2050," adding, "Since 2021, to take the lead in carbon reduction practices in daily life, we have provided all employees with stainless steel tumblers and designated POSCO Center and various workplaces as buildings free of disposable cup use."

He continued, "POSCO Group will become a company that adds value to the world by leading the transition to an eco-friendly business structure not only through small daily practices by all employees but also through business areas such as developing green steel technology using hydrogen and establishing a full value chain for secondary battery materials."

Chairman Choi nominated the next participants in the relay as Yeom Jae-ho, President of Taegye University (former President of Korea University), Jeffrey Jones, Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea, and Choi Jin-sik, Chairman of the Korea Federation of Medium-sized Enterprises.
