Next Candidate Named as Heo Cheolhong, CEO of GS M-Biz
Lee Woo-il, CEO of Unid and grandson of the late Lee Hoe-rim, founder of OCI, participated in the 'Bye Bye Plastic (BBP) Challenge' as part of practicing SG management.
Unid, a chemical company affiliated with OCI Group, announced on the 3rd, "We joined this campaign upon the nomination of Hong Jung-guk, Vice Chairman of BGF," adding, "CEO Lee nominated Heo Cheol-hong, CEO of GS M-Biz, as the next participant."
The Bye Bye Plastic Challenge is a nationwide relay campaign promoted by the Ministry of Environment since last year to spread good consumption habits that reduce plastic use in daily life. Participants wave both hands in photos or videos to signify "Bye," express their commitment to plastic-free practices, and nominate the next participant to post on social networking services (SNS).
