Ecosystem Conservation Activities
Solus Advanced Materials is actively engaged in ecosystem conservation and carbon neutrality activities.
At 10 a.m. on May 14, a “Plogging Challenge” event was held at the construction site of the OLED Hamyeol Plant, joined
by employees and construction site personnel.
“Plogging” is a term that combines the words “jogging” and “picking up litter,” and is an effort to protect the
environment. It was organized by our EHS Team.
The Plogging Challenge was a 30-minute program that started at the Hamyeol construction site, went through the
neighboring factory grounds, and then returned to the site.
This activity is expected to contribute to the creation of an eco-friendly workplace by enhancing employees'
environmental awareness.
It was also an opportunity for all employees to take responsibility for preserving the environment, and pledge to carry out eco-friendly activities at their work locations.
Solus Advanced Materials is expected to contribute to the creation of an eco-friendly workplace by enhancing employees'
environmental awareness.
