Mercury, Creation of 'Forest of Hope' to Reduce Fine Dust in Anyangcheon Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] The Export-Import Bank of Korea has created a 'Forest of Hope' to reduce fine dust in the Anyangcheon area.

On the 29th, the bank announced that it held the 'Forest of Hope, Anyangcheon Tree Planting' event attended by Executive Director Kwon Woo-seok, Co-Representative of Life's Forest Kim Seok-kwon, Deputy Mayor of Yangcheon-gu Kim Jeong-ho, and Director of the Community Chest of Korea Kim Kyung-hee.

Previously, in October last year, the bank donated 100 million won to the nonprofit organization Life's Forest to establish the Forest of Hope in Anyangcheon. Accordingly, considering biodiversity and fine dust absorption, the Forest of Hope planted about 2,000 trees, including Cheongdanpung (Korean maple) and ginkgo trees, in the Anyangcheon area of Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.

The bank stated, "As part of its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management, the bank is strengthening social contribution activities in eco-friendly fields such as creating a healthy urban ecosystem," adding, "The Forest of Hope was created as a place for citizens so that anyone can enjoy the value of the forest."
