On May 21, the Korea Chemical Industry Association announced that it will consolidate previously fragmented corporate and project-based environmental and social contribution (CSR) activities under a single brand, thereby promoting systematic sustainable management initiatives.

"Chemical PLANET," a name combining "Chemical" and "Planet," reflects the chemical industry's commitment to coexist with the natural ecosystem and expand its environmental and social responsibilities.

The association plans to gradually expand ecological experience-based educational programs, local environmental improvement projects, and global collaborations on environment, society, and governance (ESG), based on three main pillars: biodiversity conservation, sustainable innovation, and the spread of social value.

The Korea Chemical Industry Association operates the Korea Responsible Care (RC) Council on behalf of the domestic chemical industry and currently supports RC (Responsible Care) activities at 47 chemical companies. Responsible Care is an international initiative in which companies voluntarily manage and improve environmental, health, and safety aspects throughout the entire lifecycle of chemical products, from development and manufacturing to distribution, use, and disposal.

Um Chan-wang, Vice President of the Korea Chemical Industry Association, stated, "With the launch of Chemical PLANET, we will expand our role beyond simple campaigns to serve as a platform that encompasses environmental conservation and sustainable activities across the entire industry."

Meanwhile, on May 23 in Ulsan, the association plans to kick off its full-scale social contribution activities by holding an experiential environmental program, "Open! The Joyful World of Chemistry Season 2," with participation from local residents and elementary school students.
