Utilizing Reusable Shopping Bags, Revitalizing Traditional Markets and Contributing to Carbon Neutrality

From 11th to 29th, Headquarters and 9 Regional Branches... Shopping at Traditional Markets

Korea National Oil Corporation (President Kim Dong-seop) conducted the ‘Go Green, Go Market’ campaign on the 22nd at Taehwa Market in Jung-gu, Ulsan, to revitalize traditional markets.

The ‘Go Green, Go Market’ campaign is an ESG activity carried out in nine regional stockpiling branches including the headquarters, where shoppers use eco-friendly reusable shopping bags at local traditional markets. The campaign aims to promote environmental conservation and foster win-win cooperation with local small business owners.

At the shopping event held this time at Taehwa Market in Jung-gu, employees and labor union members of the Oil Corporation, along with merchants belonging to Taehwa Market, participated and purchased local specialties, bringing vitality to the traditional market, which had somewhat shrunk with the arrival of winter.

Shin Seung-hoon, General Affairs Director of the Oil Corporation who hosted the event, said, “I hope today’s event will serve as an opportunity to revitalize the local economy even a little,” adding, “The Corporation will continue to play a role in contributing to the local community by harmonizing with local residents and small business owners.”

The Oil Corporation is conducting the ‘Go Green, Go Market’ campaign from the 11th to the 29th of this month at the headquarters and nine stockpiling branches. The campaign is taking place at nearby traditional markets such as Ulsan Taehwa Market, Geoje Okpo International Market, Yeosu Jinnam Market, Yongin Jungang Market, and Donghae Bukpyeong Folk Market.

In addition to this campaign, the Oil Corporation has held an event providing trash bags to customers purchasing at Banggu Market in Ulsan to revitalize traditional markets. It is also continuously carrying out social contribution activities such as providing agricultural and marine product packages to support vulnerable groups in the region and sharing love side dishes.
