한국동서발전은 21∼22일 서울 코엑스에서 열린 '제3회 대한민국 사회적가치 페스타'에 참가해 폐플라스틱 자연순환 사업 및 환경·사회·지배구조(ESG) 협업 성과를 선보였다고 밝혔다.

동서발전은 행사에서 '새활용 연구소'와 협력해 폐플라스틱을 새활용 제품으로 재탄생시켜 탄소중립을 실현하는 '자원순환 사업'과 지역 어르신 일자리 제공을 통해 사회적 문제를 해결하는 '일자리 창출 사업' 등 공공기관 역할과 가능성을 알리고 친환경 가치 확산에 앞장서는 모습을 보여주었다.

특히 동서발전은 발전사 중 유일하게 3년 연속 참가해, 환경·사회·지배구조(ESG) 경영 실천에 대한 지속적 의지를 드러냈다.

행사에서는 동서발전 사업 추진 과정과 주요 성과를 소개하는 한편, 폐플라스틱을 활용해 제작한 블록 키링, 알파벳 키링 등 다양한 새활용 기념품을 관람객에게 나눠주며 자원순환 가치를 체험할 기회를 제공했다.

폐플라스틱이 버려지는 자원이 아닌 새로운 가치를 가진 제품으로 재탄생하는 과정을 보여줘, 일상 속 자원순환 실천 중요성을 알렸다.

권명호 한국동서발전 사장은 "3년 연속 대한민국 사회적가치 페스타에 참여하며 그동안 지역사회와 함께 만들어온 사회적가치 창출 사례를 국민과 공유할 수 있어 뜻깊다"며 "폐플라스틱 새활용과 같은 환경과 일자리를 연계한 사업을 확대해 지역사회와 함께 성장하는 사회적가치를 만들어 나가겠다"고 말했다.
