[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] Lotte Chemical announced on the 3rd that Hwang Jin-gu, CEO of the Basic Materials Business, participated in the 'Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge' with employees at Lotte World Tower on the 1st.

The Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge is a campaign initiated last December by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. Participants share photos holding traffic safety signs that read "Stop at step 1, Look both ways at step 2, Wait for 3 seconds, Prevent 4 dangers," and nominate the next participant in a relay format.

Hwang, who joined the campaign upon the nomination of Jang Hee-gu, CEO of Kolon Industries, nominated Yoon Byung-seok, CEO of SK Gas, and Park Seung-duk, CEO of Hanwha Total Petrochemical, as the next participants.

Hwang said, "I hope this challenge serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about traffic safety for children, our future, and that Lotte Chemical employees will actively practice it as well."
