•        Corio and TotalEnergies, which are promoting offshore wind projects in Korea, support the production of ‘Bag to the Green,’ ChildFund Korea’s environmental education kit.

•        ‘Bag to the Green’ is a board game that teaches how to sort and recycle trash through fun games, with its upcycled materials adding environmental significance to the game.

•        The kit will be used as an environmental education material for children at community children centers and social welfare centers in Ulsan and South Jeolla Province.

•        Choi Woo-jin, Head of Corio Generation Korea, says, “I am delighted to be able to provide children with opportunities to take an easy and fun environmental education, and we will continue cooperating with the local community for the healthy growth of and a bright future for children.”

 

2022. 7. 18 – Corio Generation, Green Investment Group’s new specialist offshore wind business, and TotalEnergies, a global multi-energy company, announced on July 18 that they sponsored the production of ‘Bag to the Green,’ ChildFund Korea’s environmental education kit.

 

 

 

As part of their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts to pursue a sustainable environment and co-prosperity with local communities, Corio and TotalEnergies, which are jointly developing offshore wind projects in Ulsan City and Geomundo and Maenggoldo islands in South Jeolla Province, sponsored the production of the kit to provide an opportunity to the future generation of children to recognize and experience the importance of recycling resources and protecting the environment.

 

 

 

ChildFund Korea’s 'Bag to the Green' is an educational board game to teach children how to sort and recycle trash by adjusting the process to elementary school students’ level. 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 2^nd 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.
