[Consumerwide_Hayoung Chang Reporter/Yohan Bok Reporter] Businesses are expanding ESG management through environmental steps, including improving environmental volunteer work and zero-waste campaigns. Here is the list of ESG activities and the hosting businesses: Hana Insurance and Hana Life Insurance: cleaning volunteer work in Changgyeonggung area; Novelis Korea: volunteer work to improve the environment in Cheonggaecheon area; Nexen Tyre: zero-waste campaign. This signifies that the activities of staff and executives can lead to a realistic level of social support while enhancing ESG recognition.

Hana Insurance and Hana Life Insurance announced that they have hosted a cultural heritage protection activity, which involved 50 staff and executives, including the CEO of both businesses, along with an activity of picking up rubbish and removing weed in the area of Seoul Changgeonggung. This was a part of the Plogging ESG campaign that they had begun last May, and they had decided to plan again due to positive feedback from staff. Hana Insurance and Hana Life Insurance are planning to continue cooperating on various social contributions.

Novelis Korea, one of the global aluminium recycling businesses, hosted a volunteer task to improve the environment of the Cheonggaecheon area in Seoul on the 11th. This was a part of the "Novelis month of volunteer work", which is hosted in global business locations during October annually. On the day of the event, 40 staff and executives, including Sachin Satpute, the CEO of Novelis Asia, participated. Novelis has been cooperating with Cheonggae-attie, which is a business and group network designed to preserve the ecology of Cheonggaecheon hosted by Seoul Facilities Corporation, in order to create a beautiful environment in the Cheonggaecheon area by changing old benches and participating in voluntary work.

Nexentire is hosting the "Zero Waste" campaign, which is an ESG campaign that encourages the reduction of rubbish and reuse of products for environmental protection. Staff and executives of Nexentire donate recyclable items, including clothes, books, and home appliances, and they are passed onto the Beautiful Store. Profits from the sales are used as a social contribution fund, which is designed to support local citizens in vulnerable conditions. Nexentire made the "Beautiful Forest", which is made of trees planted on land that is failing to be clean. The project was financed by donations from staff and executives and profits from the Beautiful Store sale through the Zero Waste campaign this year.
