Aekyung Industry launched an employee-driven energy conservation campaign on August 22, coinciding with 'Energy Day.' The initiative encourages employees to completely shut down their computers during lunch breaks instead of simply locking the screens, aiming to reduce carbon emissions through small daily actions.
 
The company announced on August 24 that it conducted a five-day energy-saving practice week from August 10 to 14, featuring the 'Briefly OFF, Earth ON' activity.
 
This initiative is part of Aekyung Industry's internal carbon reduction campaign, known as 'A·Tan·Da,' a shortened name for 'Aekyung Industry Carbon Diet.' It focuses on activities that employees can easily implement in their work and daily lives to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
 
This time, the campaign altered the way employees use their computers during lunch. Instead of the usual screen lock when leaving their desks, employees were encouraged to completely power down their PCs. The goal is to foster voluntary energy-saving participation among employees by changing everyday work habits rather than making large investments in equipment.
 
In April of this year, Aekyung Industry also conducted a plogging event in the area around Seoul's Gyeongui Line Forest Park as part of the A·Tan·Da campaign. This activity combined walking with trash collection, emphasizing employees' eco-friendly practices and raising awareness of climate change.
 
An Aekyung Industry representative stated, “We will continue to promote a carbon-neutral culture in daily life through the A·Tan·Da campaign and will consistently pursue various activities to implement ESG management.”
