The two companies announced on the 5th that they had signed a 'Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Establishing a Resource Circulation System for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment' with the Korea Environment Corporation at the Pangyo Research and Development (R&D) Center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.
Under this agreement, Hanwha Vision and Hanwha Semitec have committed to building a proper culture for disposing of waste electrical and electronic equipment, minimizing the use of disposable products, and establishing a paperless organizational culture.
As the first action under the agreement, the two companies conducted a 'Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Collection Campaign' for employees at the Pangyo R&D Center from December 1 to 3. A total of 920 kg was collected, resulting in a reduction of approximately 2,530 kg of greenhouse gas emissions. The collected items were gathered by the nonprofit public interest corporation E-Circulation Governance for recycling. Employees who participated in the campaign received coupons for cafes near the Pangyo R&D Center.
A Hanwha Vision representative stated, "We hope this campaign will help establish a proper disposal culture," adding, "We will continue our efforts to promote the spread of an ESG management culture aimed at sustainable growth."
