Arneg Korea Co., Ltd. announced it received the Eco-friendly Category Award at the '2024 Korea Industry Awards' ceremony, which was held on the 25th at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Hotel.
The '2024 Korea Industry Awards' is an event sponsored by the Dong-A Ilbo, with support from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and the Ministry of Science and ICT. It recognizes and awards companies that contribute significantly to advancing the nation's industry, sustainable future, and enhanced competitiveness.
Arneg Korea was honored with the Eco-friendly Category Award for its exceptional achievements in developing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient products that contribute to environmental protection and realize carbon neutrality.
Arneg Korea is a technological innovator offering a diverse product lineup emphasizing energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. The company aligns with the government's “2050 Carbon Neutrality Initiative” and “Carbon Neutral Technology Innovation Strategy,” providing various refrigeration systems tailored to the needs of coffee shops, convenience stores, and large retail outlets.
Particularly last year, the company was the first in domestic retail to install a trans-critical CO2 refrigeration system at Baekyangsa Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, receiving positive evaluations.
This CO2 refrigeration system applies an inverter system to all refrigeration, freezing, and parallel compressors, efficiently responding to load variations, thus reducing electricity costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, attaching doors to the showcases reduces the required load, enhancing energy savings and securing the freshness and safety of perishable goods, thereby leading efforts toward carbon neutrality and energy conservation.
Furthermore, Arneg Korea recently signed a 'Corporate Carbon Action' memorandum of understanding with the Gwangju Metropolitan City, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2045. By 2030, the company aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 11%. It continues to provide information on energy use and actively collaborates with the local community.
SungKyu Lee, CEO of Arneg Korea, stated, "Through environmentally responsible management, our company fulfills its social responsibilities and pursues sustainable growth. We will continue to conduct extensive research and development to provide our customers with more cost-effective and efficient products while offering businesses various solutions to contribute to carbon neutrality."
