Marking its 15th year this year, the "Citibank Global Community Contribution Day" event is observing government quarantine guidelines due to COVID-19 and ensuring the safety of participating employees by conducting various social contribution activities in small groups or non-face-to-face formats since early last month, instead of large-scale simultaneous gatherings. Citibank employees and their families participating in this activity pledged to carefully nurture the seedlings with the hope of creating a healthy urban forest and preserving the environment, even though they are growing the acorn seeds individually due to COVID-19.
