Hanjin announced on the 2nd that it has begun to convert a gas station near Gimpo Airport into an electric vehicle charging station.
Hanjin explained that it made this decision to contribute to the expansion of domestic electric vehicle infrastructure and to practice environmentally friendly management.
Hanjin is adding electric vehicle charging stations to its business sites located in key areas nationwide, and as the Gimpo charging station is outside its establishment, it expects general consumers to also use the charging service.
The electric vehicle charging stations Hanjin has installed are located in 14 places nationwide, including Guro-gu and Gangseo-gu in Seoul, Gwangju, Jeju, Busan, and Jinju. These serve as charging hubs for the company's more than 500 eco-friendly vehicles.
Hanjin is also increasing its environmentally friendly business by establishing solar power generation facilities to produce and sell self-generated electricity. The solar power generation facilities within business sites were installed in Busan last year, starting from Wonju and Jinju in 2023, and plans are in place to set them up in Daejeon, Incheon, and Pohang this year.
A Hanjin official said that they are expanding efforts to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases to achieve net-zero and stated, "We plan to continue activities to create a sustainable society."
