[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] The Korean Ceramic Foundation has been selected as an outstanding institution in the environment division of the '2019 Gyeonggi Province Public Institution Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Performance Evaluation.'
Corporate social responsibility is defined as contributing to the public interest and the development of the community. Under the 'Ordinance on Support for Activation of CSR in Gyeonggi Province Public Institutions and Small and Medium Enterprises,' Gyeonggi Province has been evaluating performance in the governance, environment, and social sectors annually to promote activation of corporate social responsibility management in public institutions within the province and maximize the creation of social value.
The Gyeonggi Province Public Institution CSR Performance Evaluation was conducted by Gyeonggi Province targeting 20 out of 25 public institutions in the province through verification of diagnostic materials and on-site inspections. The Korean Ceramic Foundation was selected as an outstanding institution in the environment division.
Since last year, the Foundation has implemented single-use product restrictions by regulating the use of single-use products among its staff and promoting the use of ceramic tableware in offices. The Foundation also conducted environmental protection education for employees.
As part of environmental protection measures, the Foundation has held special events such as the 'Gyeonggi Ceramic Fair' to expand the use of ceramic tableware, and has concentrated efforts on environmental protection by distributing high-quality ceramic products at affordable prices to institutions and businesses.
Choi Yeon, Representative Director of the Korean Ceramic Foundation, said, "The Foundation has taken the lead in promoting the excellence of our ceramics and, from a social perspective, in promoting a lifestyle free of plastic and melamine for environmental protection." He added, "We will continue to make efforts to play a leading role in corporate social responsibility through expanding the use of ceramic tableware to eliminate single-use products."
