[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Hyosung TNS, a specialist company in automated teller machines (ATM), announced on the 23rd that CEO Son Hyunsik will participate in the Ministry of Environment's environmental protection campaign 'GoGo Challenge.'

The GoGo Challenge is an eco-friendly campaign started by the Ministry of Environment in January last year to reduce plastic use in daily life. It is a campaign that promises 'things not to do' and 'things that can be done' for environmental protection. CEO Son joined the challenge upon the nomination of Pyo Kyungwon, CEO of Aekyung Chemical.

Hyosung TNS held an internal contest and selected the slogan "Use disposable products non-face-to-face, use reusable products face-to-face" and pledged active practice. They plan to provide tumblers and eco-bags made from Hyosung's eco-friendly yarn to all employees to make the use of reusable items a daily habit. They also intend to reduce resource waste by creating an eco-friendly office environment, such as replacing unnecessary paper approvals with electronic approvals.

CEO Son said, "Various eco-friendly campaigns are underway within the company so that all employees of Hyosung TNS can actively participate in environmental protection," and added, "We will also focus on developing low-power ATMs to become a company that contributes to environmental protection."

CEO Son nominated Jang Jiho, CEO of KT Telecop, as the next participant.
