Participating this campaign, INNOPOLIS Foundation will plan to change its working environment such as reducing the use of disposable products at major meetings and events, and using recycled products first in public purchases.

 

INNOPOLIS Foundation chose and ran Plastic Free Challenge Campaign Week to promote the participation of all the members of INNOPOLIS Foundation, replace disposable items with mugs and tumblers, and use multi-purpose cups during the visit of civil petitioners.

 

 

“Our executives and staff members will work together to take the lead in solving environmental problems through this campaign, when public interest and concern are growing to such an extent that the government has declared fine dust as a disaster” said Yang Sung-kwang, Chairman of INNOPOLIS Foundation.

 

Meanwhile, INNOPOLIS Foundation has pointed out Kang Hoon, CEO of Korea Science and Technology Holder and Park Chan-koo, Chairman of Daedeok Innopolis Venture Association(Inc.) as next participating organizations in the campaign.
