[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee announced on the 29th that it has signed a business agreement with Seoul City and the Children and Future Foundation to carry out the 'Green Plus Urban Forest Project.' This project is part of the Mercedes-Benz Green Plus initiative launched last year to practice carbon neutrality and lead climate and environmental protection. It involves creating urban forests by planting trees in damaged or neglected green spaces in collaboration with the city.

Starting with Cheonwang Neighborhood Park in Guro-gu in the first half of this year, greening and maintenance projects will be sequentially carried out until the second half of the year at locations including Maljukgeori Urban Natural Park in Seocho-gu, Seoripul Urban Natural Park Zone in Bangbae-dong, and Myeongil Urban Natural Park Zone in Gangdong-gu. Thomas Klein, Chairman of the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee, said, "By cooperating with Seoul City, we have taken a step further toward achieving carbon neutrality and contributing to the provision of green spaces within the urban area."
