Humedix Conducts 'Plogging' Environmental Cleanup at Geumto Stream in Seongnam City

Humedix Practices ESG Management
through Plogging Activities at Geumto Stream
Promoting Environmental Protection and Community Growth

Humedix has put ESG management into practice by conducting environmental cleanup activities along local streams in collaboration with the community.

On August 28, Humedix Co., Ltd. announced that it had carried out a "plogging" activity-a combination of jogging and picking up litter-near Geumto Stream in Seongnam City the previous day (August 27).

"Plogging" is a portmanteau of the Swedish word "plocka upp" (to pick up) and the English word "jogging." It is an environmental protection activity that began in Northern Europe. This event was organized as part of the "Clean Stream Social Contribution Project" led by the Gyeonggi Province Water Resources Headquarters, with the aim of fulfilling responsibilities in the environmental (E) sector of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management and pursuing joint growth with the local community.

On the day of the event, Humedix employees walked around the area near Geumto Stream, which is close to the company, collecting various types of household waste discarded along the stream. Despite the heat, employees actively participated in the cleanup efforts to create a cleaner stream environment.

Humedix plans to continue these plogging environmental cleanup activities in September and October, maintaining ongoing efforts to protect the stream ecosystem in partnership with the local community. In addition to plogging at Geumto Stream, Humedix continues to implement initiatives such as introducing eco-friendly packaging materials and conducting energy-saving campaigns for environmental protection, as well as carrying out various social contribution activities, including support for underprivileged groups in the community.

Kang Minjong, CEO of Humedix, stated, "Through this plogging activity, all our employees have once again recognized the importance of environmental conservation, and we will continue these small actions to contribute to regional development. We will also actively engage in various social contribution activities to become a company that grows together with the local community."

Meanwhile, the "Clean Stream Social Contribution Project" in Gyeonggi Province is an initiative to improve the environment and protect the water quality of streams in the province. Companies, institutions, and organizations participate in stream cleanup activities and water quality improvement campaigns targeting streams in all 31 cities and counties of Gyeonggi Province.
