Among many environmental issues, climate change is undoubtedly one of the most pressing concerns today. In particular, researchers state that greenhouse gas emissions have a significant and negative impact on climate change.

SK Inc., an investment company of SK (i.e. South Korea's third-largest conglomerate), recently announced a groundbreaking investment: an investment with a vision to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

The company announced that it had invested more than a total of $100 million in vegan-friendly startups like Perfect Day, Nature's Fynd, and Meatless Farm. These eco-friendly companies share the goal of tackling greenhouse gas concerns through the production of meatless protein (e.g. alternative protein). SK Inc. stated that it resonated with the eco-friendly goal that the companies had and expressed hope that the investment would allow more advancement in bioengineering related to food production.

I found the investment meaningful and unique, especially because it was from a Korean company. I hope the investment becomes fruitful so that new food technologies could bring an end to extensive greenhouse gas emissions.

I also hope that other investors, especially in Asia as well, would follow in SK Inc.’s footsteps and make similar investments to prevent climate change from permanently corrupting our planet.
