As ESG values take on increasing importance in business management, Moorim (CEO: Dogyun Lee), a leading Korean company for pulp, paper and new materials, has published its first ‘Sustainable Business Management Report’ on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the company.
Moorim has recently marked its 66 years in the business, offering a wide range of environment-friendly products including biodegradable paper, natural pulp molds and nano-cellulose materials. To mark the historic date, the company, one of the oldest in the industry in Korea, has once again re-affirmed its commitment to moving beyond simply selling products to contribute to the creation of sustainable values by bringing together the many achievements it has made over the years.
This latest report that captures the commitment of Moorim to ESG values-driven business management, is particularly ‘ethical’ not only due to its content, but also for using Moorim’s environment-friendly paper and printing methods. In particular, Moorim’s paper which has been certified to be low carbon and environment-friendly has been used, and soybean oil, plant-based oil that is known to have a less environmental impact, was used for printing. Moorim is the only company in the Korean paper manufacturing industry to have been certified for its low carbon products by the Ministry of Environment. The certification is given to products with outstanding contributions in their product category for greenhouse gas reductions.
As corporate social responsibility in environmental preservation is being more emphasized than ever, Moorim’s report also focuses on its many related initiatives and achievements, such as the development of ‘ethical paper’, environment-friendly business management and climate change response system. In fact, Moorim is the only company in Korea that re-uses the so-called ‘black liquor’ generated during the pulp production process to operate its plants, instead of fossil fuels, saving a whopping 870,000 tons of carbon per year that would have otherwise been emitted if fossil fuels were used. This is equivalent to the amount of carbon that would require approximately 130 million pine trees to be absorbed.
CEO of Moorim, Dogyun Lee commented, “The publication of the Sustainable Business Management Report marks a new start for Moorim in better communicating with its stakeholders. As a leader of the industry, Moorim will remain committed to creating sustainable values while promoting the almost infinite possibility of applying paper and pulp to various environmental-friendly initiatives."
The 2021 Sustainable Business Management Report is expected to be distributed to internal and external stakeholders of the company, including employees, customers and investors. It is also viewable on the official website of Moorim
