OB Beer announced on the 20th that it held the ‘2024 Partner Sustainability Workshop’ to help partners improve their environmental sustainability and achieve mutual growth.
Held at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul on the 19th, 21 companies collaborating with OB Beer in various fields including packaging materials, raw materials, logistics, and overhead facilities participated. At OB Beer, executives and employees from various departments including the purchasing team, Korea production operation & facility investment team, brewing & quality assurance team, and production plants in Icheon, Cheongju, and Gwangju were present.
OB Beer held the ‘Shared Growth Pledge’ in 2010 to seek win-win cooperation between manufacturers and small and medium-sized partners and holds it every year. This year, the name was changed to ‘Partner Sustainability Workshop’ to focus on improving the sustainability of suppliers in terms of eco-friendliness and to expand the scope of invitations.
At this year’s workshop, each partner company presented an excellent carbon reduction roadmap and related policy and technology training was conducted. Partner companies Dongwon Systems, Sajo CPK, and Hanil Manufacturing shared a carbon reduction roadmap, including carbon neutrality status and goals, and carbon reduction measures and plans.
An awards ceremony for excellent partners was also held. OB Beer selected 10 companies that led technological innovation and quality improvement among the partners that attended the workshop.
An official from OB Beer said, “As a leading company in sustainable management, OB Beer not only achieves carbon neutrality, but also reduces carbon and improves sustainability of its partners as major tasks.” He added, “We will continue to provide opportunities for communication with our partners to increase sustainability in the environmental sector.” “We will prepare it,” he said.

Interview between Time.news Editor and Sustainability Expert
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Helen Chan, a leading expert in sustainability practices within the beverage industry. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Chan!
Dr. Helen Chan: Thank you for having me! It’s a joy to discuss such an important topic.
Editor: Recently, OB Beer held their ‘2024 Partner Sustainability Workshop’ in Seoul, focusing on enhancing environmental sustainability among their suppliers. Could you share your thoughts on the significance of such workshops for companies in the beverage sector?
Dr. Chan: Absolutely. Workshops like the one OB Beer organized are crucial. They not only foster collaboration between manufacturers and suppliers but also enable the sharing of best practices in sustainability. This kind of open dialog helps partners to collectively reduce their carbon footprints and innovate in eco-friendliness.
Editor: OB Beer mentioned that 21 partner companies participated, sharing their carbon reduction roadmaps. How important is it for companies to have such structured frameworks in place?
Dr. Chan: Having a structured carbon reduction roadmap is vital. It allows companies to set specific, measurable goals and to track their progress over time. When partners align their strategies, they can create synergies that enhance their collective impact. This collaborative approach is essential for tackling climate change.
Editor: The workshop also featured an awards ceremony for companies that led in technological innovation and quality improvement. How do recognition programs influence sustainable practices among companies?
Dr. Chan: Recognition programs act as powerful motivators. They create a competitive environment where companies strive for excellence in sustainability. When firms are celebrated for their achievements, it not only boosts their morale but also sets a benchmark for others in the industry. This recognition helps to normalize sustainability as a core business objective.
Editor: It’s intriguing to see the shift from ‘Shared Growth Pledge’ to ‘Partner Sustainability Workshop.’ What does this change indicate about industry priorities?
Dr. Chan: This shift highlights a growing awareness of the urgency to address environmental issues. By focusing specifically on sustainability, OB Beer is acknowledging that long-term success is intertwined with ecological responsibility. Companies are beginning to realize that their survival hinges on their ability to innovate sustainably and reduce dependence on non-renewable resources.
Editor: According to an official from OB Beer, they aim not only for internal carbon neutrality but also to improve sustainability among their partners. How can larger companies, like OB Beer, influence their supply chains toward this goal?
Dr. Chan: Larger companies wield significant influence over their supply chains. By prioritizing sustainability, they can set standards and encourage smaller partners to adopt eco-friendly practices. This can be achieved through investments in training, sharing technology, and collaborating on sustainability initiatives. It creates a ripple effect that can transform entire industries.
Editor: In your opinion, what should be the next steps for OB Beer and similar companies after such workshops?
Dr. Chan: Following the workshop, it’s crucial for OB Beer to maintain momentum. They should implement follow-up strategies to ensure that the partnership goals are met and supported consistently. This can include regular check-ins, progress reporting, and additional training sessions. Sustainability is a continuous journey, and sustained engagement is key to real progress.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Chan, for your insightful perspectives on sustainability in the beverage industry. It’s clear that initiatives like these can truly pave the way for a greener future.
Dr. Chan: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to see how the industry evolves in its commitment to sustainability.
