“Let’s learn how to save the ocean with marine environmental education and upcycling experience!”   •        In collaboration with the National Ocean Science Museum, Corio and TotalEnergies conducted a marine environmental education campaign, ‘Together with Ocean’, at Ulsan Okseo Elementary School. •        The campaign combined a lecture on marine environment preservation and an upcycling using marine debris. •         ‘We Protect You’ plogging kits were provided to the students to encourage their voluntary participation in beach clean-up activities. •        Corio and TotalEnergies said: “We will continue to work on activities that support future generations, the local community and the environment.”   [2022. 09. 26] Corio Generation, a portfolio company of the Green Investment Group (GIG), and TotalEnergies, a global multi-energy company, announced on September 26 that they conducted the campaign, titled ‘Together with Ocean,’ where students can learn the significance of marine environment, at Ulsan Okseo Elementary School in collaboration with the National Ocean Science Museum (Director Seo Jang-wu). The marine environmental education campaign ‘Together with Ocean (Subtitled: #We Promise You #We Protect You #We are With You),’ sponsored by Corio and TotalEnergies, the developers of the floating offshore wind projects located off the coast of Ulsan Metropolitan City, is a local ESG program designed in order for future generations including elementary school students to learn about waste circulation as well as the gravity of marine debris that threatens the ocean’s ecosystem. Comprised of two sessions, the ‘Together with Ocean’ campaign was held on September 22 and 23 for two classes of third graders at Okseo Elementary School, which was designated as the model elementary school for ‘Core School for Carbon-Neutrality’ in 2021by six ministries including the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Education. For the first session, the National Ocean Science Museum (KOSM), the only institution in Korea that offers education and exhibitions of marine science, conducted the ‘Marine Plastic ZERO’ class focused on enhancing the awareness of blue carbon and the importance of the ocean for carbon neutrality. The second session was a hands-on education program, titled ‘Upcycling the Ocean Waste’ and prepared by Corio and TotalEnergies, where the students enjoyed an upcycling experience by making their own unique magnets out of sea glass, the broken pieces of glass thrown in the ocean. Combining a lecture and a firsthand experience, the program boosted the students’ interest in marine conservation activities by having them recognize the significance of marine environment and perform an activity themselves to protect the ocean environment. In addition, the ‘We Protect You’ plogging kits were provided to the students to encourage their voluntary participation in the clean-up activities by the river or at the beach in their neighborhood, taking advantage of Ulsan’s location near the water. In a joint statement, Corio and TotalEnergies, the sponsors of the campaign, said: “We find it very meaningful that we were able to conduct this valuable campaign in collaboration with KOSM, which allowed us not only to promote the importance of marine environment conservation to future generations living in the era of climate crisis but also to think about the ways to preserve the marine ecosystem. We will continue to work on the ESG activities that enable us to help future generations, the local community, and the environment while communicating and growing together with the local society.” The lecturer from KOSM who participated in the campaign said: “Starting off with this campaign at Okseo Elementary School, the core school for carbon neutrality, we will actively work on expanding the education opportunities to enable the young generations, who are now faced with the species-wide challenge of carbon neutrality, to understand the value and significance of the ocean as soon as possible and to make progress towards carbon neutrality through marine environment preservation. We would like to thank Corio and TotalEnergies for providing us with a worthwhile opportunity.” Centering on Ulsan, Corio and TotalEnergies are continuously expanding ESG activities for a sustainable future and co-prospering development with the local community. Last May, they sponsored the eco-friendly program ‘Eco Mom! Happy Kids!’ operated by the Ulsan Nam-gu Community Welfare Center. Also in July, they sponsored the production of ChildFund Korea’s environmental education kit ‘Bag to the Green. Meanwhile, Corio and TotalEnergies are co-developing more than 2GW of offshore wind projects in Korea under the joint brand name of ‘BadaEnergy,’ and SK ecoplant recently joined as a new partner. BadaEnergy is currently promoting five offshore wind projects in the country, which include the floating offshore wind projects located off the coast of Ulsan (Project name: Gray Whale 1, 2, 3) with a total capacity of 1.5GW.Photo 1) In collaboration with the National Ocean Science Museum, Corio and TotalEnergies conducted a marine environmental education campaign, ‘Together with Ocean’, at Ulsan Okseo Elementary School on September 22 and 23.Photo 2) In collaboration with the National Ocean Science Museum, Corio and TotalEnergies conducted a marine environmental education campaign, ‘Together with Ocean’, at Ulsan Okseo Elementary School on September 22 and 23.Photo 3) In collaboration with the National Ocean Science Museum, Corio and TotalEnergies conducted a marine environmental education campaign, ‘Together with Ocean’, at Ulsan Okseo Elementary School on September 22 and 23.Photo 4) In collaboration with the National Ocean Science Museum, Corio and TotalEnergies conducted a marine environmental education campaign, ‘Together with Ocean’, at Ulsan Okseo Elementary School on September 22 and 23.

The kit also holds environmental significance in that it is made of upcycled materials. It consists of a reusable bag along with a game board, playing cards, dice, game pieces, and instructions. The kit allows kids to easily learn how to sort and recycle items that are commonly seen and used in daily life, which can be quite difficult for them to learn, while enjoying a game with family and friends.   The board of the 'Bag to the Green' is designed as a mat made of upcycled fabric printed with spaces that game pieces can move on. Accordingly, it can be used as a board for a game, and also as a mat in daily lives, letting people make better use of it. In addition, with a focus on environmental and social values, the kit includes a reusable bag that would help children voluntarily conduct plogging (collecting garbage from the ground or beach) anytime, anywhere with the bag.   "We came up with the 'Bag to the Green’ environmental education kit while seeking ways to enable children to participate and learn independently, getting out of the traditional way of conveying knowledge through books,” said Choi Un-jeong, Head of ChildFund’s 2nd Seoul Region Branch. “We sincerely thank Corio and TotalEnergies for showing deep interest in kids’ environment-related activities and actively supporting the production of the kit.”   The 'Bag to the Green' kit, produced with the support of Corio and TotalEnergies, will be delivered to child support institutions in Ulsan and Yeosu City and Jindo-gun in South Jeolla Province, including community children centers, group homes, and social welfare centers through ChildFund Korea. The kit will also be used as recycling and upcycling educational material for Ulsan Nam-gu Community Welfare Center’s local environmental activity program ‘Eco Mom! Happy Kids!,’ which was also supported by Corio and TotalEnergies last month.   “As developing an offshore wind farm is a long-term project that lasts more than 30 years in one area, we are paying attention to environmental protection activities to leave a safer and cleaner society for children who will grow up together during that time,” said Choi Woo-jin, Head of Corio Generation Korea, who attended the sponsorship ceremony. “We are delighted to be able to provide children in Ulsan and South Jeolla Province with opportunities through this sponsorship to take easy and fun environmental education in their daily lives. We will continue cooperating with the local community for the healthy growth of and a bright future for children.”   Meanwhile, Corio and TotalEnergies are co-developing more than 2GW of offshore wind farms in Ulsan and Geomundo and Maenggoldo islands in South Jeolla Province. Up to now, the 3 floating offshore wind projects off the coast of Ulsan (project name: Gray Whale I, II, III) and the Geomundo offshore wind project obtained electricity business licenses from the Electricity Regulatory Commission under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.Photo 1) Corio and TotalEnergies support the production of ‘Bag to the Green,’ ChildFund Korea’s environmental education kit. Photo 2) Corio and TotalEnergies support the production of ‘Bag to the Green,’ ChildFund Korea’s environmental education kit. 

•        Corio and TotalEnergies join hands with Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspection and certification, and its local partner KR to obtain project certification for the floating offshore wind farm in Ulsan.•        Project certification seeks to ensure that the floating offshore wind turbine design, and the consequent specific supplied units are manufactured, transported, installed and operated in compliance with certain requirements and are suitable for the specific site conditions.•        “We will secure the reliability and stability of the floating offshore wind project in Ulsan to ensure that it can be built stably in line with international standards, and furthermore, contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of Korea’s offshore wind technology industry,” Corio and TotalEnergies said. July 13, 2022 – Corio Generation(“Corio”), Green Investment Group’s new specialist offshore wind business, and TotalEnergies, a global multi-energy company, for the development of offshore wind projects in Korea, announced on July 13 that they have contracted with Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection and certification services, and its local partner Korean Register (KR) to achieve project certification of the Ulsan floating offshore wind farm. Project certification is the process of assessing the conformity of a product, system or service with the requirements and characteristics outlined in a standard, specification or regulation. These standards or specifications are published by recognized international bodies such as ISO, IEC, etc. and serve to provide proof that a product, system or service is safe and performs as promised. Unlike the certification of specific systems, such as wind turbines and marine units, certification is not a mandatory administrative requirement, but provides higher credibility by guaranteeing consistency of design and construction in the overall development of the floating offshore wind farm as well as the comprehensive certification of the project. This project certification applies to the floating offshore wind project of the coast of Ulsan. The projects were granted an electricity business license (EBL) by February this year from the Electricity Regulatory Commission under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and have begun the procedure for the preparation of the projects. Corio and TotalEnergies, private developers of this project, are developing a joint project for offshore wind farms with a total capacity of more than 2 gigawatts in Ulsan City and South Jeolla Province (Geomundo and Maenggoldo). A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Bureau Veritas and Korean Register in March 2022 aimed at cooperation and relations to enhance competences and capacity by sharing of technologies, information and experiences in the field of floating offshore wind farms in the East Sea of Korea. It is expected that the MoU will help improve the industry standard as well as ensure the stable design, construction, and operation of the project by combining the expertise of KR for various knowledge and experience in Korea with BV’s global network and credibility in the testing and certification sector. “We hope that the project certification that we plan to acquire in cooperation with Bureau Veritas and KR will help us carry out the floating offshore wind project in line with domestic and international standards so that we can secure the reliability and stability of the project, and furthermore, contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of Korea’s offshore wind technology industry by making the project as an example of best practice,” Corio and TotalEnergies said.   “We are pleased to contribute through the project certification process to enabling floating offshore wind power to become a clean energy with reliability, stability, and growth potential,” KR said. “We will focus our capability on securing a competitive edge that will allow us to lead the global offshore wind power market by actively utilizing the expertise of both companies and thereby successfully carrying out the project certification process.”  Photo 1) Corio and TotalEnergies have contracted with Bureau Veritas and its local partner Korean Register to achieve project certification of the Ulsan floating offshore wind farm.Photo 2) Corio and TotalEnergies have contracted with Bureau Veritas and its local partner Korean Register to achieve project certification of the Ulsan floating offshore wind farm.
