Lotte Chilsung Beverage has made 'sustainability' based on ESG management a core corporate strategy and is carrying out a variety of related initiatives.

Previously, Lotte Chilsung Beverage established the '2030 Plastic Reduction Roadmap' and set a goal to reduce the use of new plastics derived from petroleum by 20% by 2030 compared to 2023. The company is pursuing two key strategies-'lightweighting plastic containers' and 'increasing the proportion of recycled materials used'-to reduce plastic emissions.

In particular, the company is focusing on activities for package resource circulation, such as the initial development of label-free PET bottle products and pioneering the transition to transparent PET bottles for beer. In addition, Lotte Chilsung Beverage is leading environmental management through ongoing package innovation, including the introduction of 'rPET (Recycle PET)' products using recycled materials for the first time in Korea and the development of packages designed for easier recycling.

Alongside these efforts, the company has made waste reduction a major initiative to minimize the environmental impact of its beverage and liquor production sites, including the Chungju Plant 2. By setting and implementing site-specific goals and systematically managing environmental issues and proactive response measures, Lotte Chilsung Beverage is strengthening its corporate competitiveness.

As a result, on June 25, at the '30th Environment Day Commemoration Government Award Ceremony for Environmental Conservation Merit' held at the Government Complex Sejong, the company was awarded the Presidential Citation in recognition of its sincere eco-friendly activities.

A Lotte Chilsung Beverage representative stated, "As a leading beverage company, we are continuously pursuing sustainable ESG management to create future competitiveness and are striving for eco-friendly technological innovation and to lead industry trends. We will continue to meet consumer expectations and fulfill our social responsibility to reduce environmental impact at every stage, in response to climate change and environmental threats facing the planet."
