[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yudonggyun) signed a business agreement on the 27th with Hanssem (CEO Seungsu Kang) for the ‘One Company, One Park Maintenance’ project.

Starting with this, the district will actively promote the ‘One Company, One Park Maintenance’ project.

The ‘One Company, One Park Maintenance’ project matches companies with local parks on a 1:1 basis to plant trees or create theme parks linked to the companies. This initiative aims to encourage tree planting to go beyond a one-time corporate social responsibility activity and become a continuous effort.

This project is part of the district’s ‘5 Million Trees Planting’ campaign. To increase the number of trees planted, Mapo-gu is discovering and supporting tree planting projects through ongoing communication with residents and companies.

Hanssem, located in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, agreed with this purpose and joined the project. Going forward, they will cooperate with the district to play a role in park maintenance and tree planting.

At the signing ceremony held at Buongi Neighborhood Park, Mapo-gu Mayor Yudonggyun and Hanssem President Heungguk Ahn exchanged the agreement and conducted a commemorative tree planting.

On that day, Hanssem employees planted a total of 100 trees throughout the park, including 20 Cornus kousa, 10 Prunus mume, and 70 Euonymus alatus, enabling residents to enjoy the park in a more pleasant environment.

The 5 Million Trees Planting campaign, which will be carried out over ten years, aims to plant 5 million trees in Mapo-gu by 2027 so that residents can fully enjoy green welfare.

In particular, last year, the number of trees planted far exceeded the target of 470,000, reaching 810,000 trees, achieving 172% of the goal. In the first quarter of this year, 117,141 trees were planted, already reaching 27% of the 2021 target.

According to the district, this year, building on past achievements, they plan to further activate ‘private-led tree planting’ to foster a voluntary and continuous tree planting and maintenance atmosphere.

Mapo-gu Mayor Yudonggyun said, “Thanks to Hanssem’s interest in a green Mapo and participation in park maintenance and tree planting, Buongi Neighborhood Park will become a greener healing space. I am looking forward to it and grateful.” He added, “We will actively promote the ‘One Company, One Park Maintenance’ project to take a step closer to making Mapo a ‘Special Air Purification District.’”
