Sae-A Trading employees, FSC Korea representatives, and students from Ewha Womans University attended the Climate Fresk workshop held on February.
As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Sae-A Trading—a leading global apparel manufacturer under the Global Sae-A Group—recently took part in the Climate Fresk workshop, an interactive program designed to deepen understanding of climate change. Organized by Ecocert, a renowned international certification body, the event brought together Sae-A Trading’s ESG division and international sales team, as well as FSC Korea representatives and students from Ewha Womans University’s Department of Clothing & Textiles.
The Climate Fresk workshop, developed in France, transforms complex climate science into an engaging, interactive experience. Using a card-based system, participants mapped out the connections between human activities and environmental impact, uncovering key drivers of climate change. Belgian entertainer and sustainability advocate Julien Quintart facilitated the session, guiding discussions on both the challenges and solutions for achieving a more sustainable future.
Working in teams, attendees created visual diagrams illustrating how climate change affects industries, communities, and ecosystems. This collaborative approach encouraged dynamic discussions on corporate sustainability strategies and practical steps individuals can take, fostering a deeper understanding of collective responsibility.
