Homeplus Receives Green Store Certification Online as Well... "First in Korea to Obtain Certification Across All Channels"

On the 24th, a model is introducing Homeplus Online's 'Green Products Exclusive Section' at Homeplus Gangseo Branch in Deungchon-dong, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Homeplus announced on the 24th that it has become the first in Korea to obtain Green Store certification across all sales channels, including large discount stores, corporate supermarkets, and online malls.

The Green Store certification is a system designated by the Ministry of Environment since 2011 to encourage customers' eco-friendly consumption habits and promote the sale of green products. Following the certification of 52 large discount stores nationwide and one Homeplus Express store, Homeplus Online has now also been recognized as a Green Store.

Homeplus Online earned the Green Store certification through activities such as minimizing unnecessary packaging and prioritizing eco-friendly packaging materials when delivering customer orders, using mobile receipts, and establishing a dedicated green product section. Going forward, they plan to expand the use of mobile receipts, use water ice packs during delivery, and utilize mobile order statements to contribute to waste reduction.

To celebrate the acquisition of the Green Store certification for Homeplus Online, a discount event themed "Good Consumption Saving the Earth Online Green Store" will be held until the 3rd of next month. Customers who purchase more than 70,000 KRW on Homeplus Online will receive discount coupons worth up to 10,000 KRW, and customers who purchase eco-friendly shopping bags will be awarded 1,000 mileage points. Customers who purchase products from the dedicated green product section will receive a 10% mileage payback (up to 10,000 points).

A Homeplus representative said, "As more customers pursue eco-friendly consumption, we obtained the Green Store certification to contribute to environmental protection online as well," adding, "We will continue to evolve as an ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) leading company so that online customers can contribute to environmental protection."
