Seoul Milk Cooperative announced on June 23 that it held its '2nd Plogging Volunteer Activity' on June 19 in the Mangwoo Historical and Cultural Park area of Jungnang, Seoul, with participation from its employees.
Plogging combines jogging or walking with picking up litter, serving as an environmental protection initiative. This event marks the second plogging activity following the first held in August of last year.
The event saw participation from key executives, including Chairman Moon Jin-seop and Executive Director Sa Hyuk. Under the slogan 'Healthy World with Milk, Healthy Earth with Plogging,' participants collected household waste and discarded materials throughout the park.
Seoul Milk Cooperative is committed to eco-friendly initiatives as part of its ESG management strategy, focusing particularly on environmental cleanup projects in Jungnang, where its headquarters is located. The cooperative also continues its social contribution efforts, including milk donations and scholarship funds for underprivileged children and youth.
Chairman Moon Jin-seop stated, "Our employees came together to participate in this volunteer activity to provide a cleaner and more pleasant environment for local residents. We will continue to engage in various eco-friendly activities in collaboration with the community to practice sustainable ESG management."
Since establishing an ESG committee directly under the chairman in 2021, Seoul Milk Cooperative has expanded its activities in the areas of environment, society, and governance. Since 2019, it has operated 38 IoT-enabled paper carton recycling bins in partnership with the Jungnang District Office, promoting resource recycling. In recognition of these efforts, the cooperative received a commendation from the Minister of Environment in December of last year for its contributions to resource recycling.
