SPC Sustainability Actions

B Corp certification achieved

SPC Global is listed as a Certified B Corporation, which means it has passed B Lab’s checks on social, environmental, and governance performance. The company’s B Corp score is 95.4, which is well above the usual pass mark of 80. This suggests the business has been assessed on how it treats workers, the environment, customers, and its wider governance. B Corp is a third-party certification, so it carries more weight than a self-made claim.

Packaging and waste changes

SPC Group has said it is changing packaging and store practices to cut waste. Reported examples include replacing a hard-to-recycle ink logo with a raised logo cup, offering disposable cutlery only when asked for, and switching some products to straw-free cup designs. The group also says its packaging arm, SPC Pack, developed eco-friendly packaging technology and received Green Technology and Green Product recognition, plus GRS (Global Recycled Standard, a rule set for recycled content) and FSSC 22000 food safety certification.

Support for farmers and local crops

SPC Group says it works with farmers through its “Happy Mutual Growth Project.” The project uses local crops such as potatoes, onions, carrots, strawberries, and ginseng in branded foods. One example given is Muan Onion Bread, with the company saying it buys more than 600 tons of onions a year from local farmers and has sold more than 12 million units in total. The aim is to give farmers a steadier market while keeping ingredients local.

Food donations and delivery support

SPC Group says it has donated food and logistics support to food banks and welfare groups for many years. A third-party article says cumulative food donations reached about KRW 327 billion by 2024, and that the company has also donated refrigerated trucks to help food banks move fresh food more safely. The reported goal is to improve delivery quality and reduce waste from old vehicles that break down often.

ESG management roadmap

A 2025 article says SPC Group has set a phased ESG roadmap running to 2030. It describes 2024 as a preparation year, 2025 to 2026 as an expansion phase, and 2027 to 2030 as a settlement phase with self-assessment. The plan is meant to make ESG work more measurable and more deeply built into the business, rather than treated as a side project.
