[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Hanwha General Insurance Volunteer Group announced that on the afternoon of the 16th, they held a tree-planting event to create an urban forest at Noeul Park located in Nanji-do, Mapo-gu, Seoul, in collaboration with the environmental education specialist organization Green Education Center.

Under the name "A Tree of Hope Planted on Earth," this event was organized with volunteer employees following COVID-19 prevention guidelines, including temperature checks and personal hygiene compliance.

The employees planted seedlings such as Mongolian oak, sawtooth oak, Korean oak, and chestnut oak, which are effective in reducing greenhouse gases, contributing not only to the restoration of the artificially created ecosystem of Noeul Park but also to environmental improvement.

A company representative said, "The tree-planting event was organized with the purpose of transforming Noeul Park, which was a landfill site for 15 years since 1978, into a healthy urban forest," adding, "To actively practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, we will strive to create social value by conducting sharing activities that employees can voluntarily participate in and practice in their daily lives."
