The Eco Tree Campaign is an event where the private sector, government, and military jointly plant trees to green army shooting ranges and training grounds. Tree planting in military units not only reduces fine dust and carbon emissions but also helps reduce noise around military training grounds and improves the surrounding environment.

Since 2018, it has been establishing windbreak forests and planting fruit trees in the desertification areas of Mongolia, a major source of fine dust. A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “We will continue to take the lead in eco-friendly activities for the transition to a carbon-neutral society by cooperating with various organizations.”
