Dongkuk Steel, Donates 1,539 Trees in Citizens' Names

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Dongkuk Steel has signed a 'Forest Ecological Function Restoration Forest Creation Partnership' agreement with Triple Planet Co., Ltd. and donated 1,539 trees in the names of citizens who participated in the green campaign.

This tree donation is part of the '2021 Dongkuk Steel Green Campaign.' Dongkuk Steel conducted an eight-day non-face-to-face mobile participation campaign starting from the 19th. Among the participants, 200 people were selected by lottery and given a 'Zero Waste Kit' made from 100% recycled or biodegradable materials. Dongkuk Steel donated the same number of trees as the number of citizens who participated in the campaign through Triple Planet.

Dongkuk Steel composed the trees mainly of evergreen species with excellent carbon dioxide absorption and oxygen emission capabilities. The donated 1,539 trees will be planted in areas in Gangwon-do where old trees are being replaced, to be used for restoring forest ecological functions. Dongkuk Steel installed a commemorative plaque with the names of the campaign participants at the forest entrance and named the forest 'DK Carbon Neutral Forest.'

Dongkuk Steel plans to continue mutual cooperation with Triple Planet in the future, not only to create forests that restore forest ecological functions but also to support successful operation without sparing any effort.

Dongkuk Steel, an electric arc furnace steelmaker that produces steel products by melting scrap metal, has been committed to environmental management through the development of low-carbon eco-friendly processes and continuous facility investment. In addition, to promote the eco-friendliness of steel, it has continuously held green campaigns since 2017.
