[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Hanwha TotalEnergies announced on the 18th that it donated 10 million KRW to the non-profit organization Blue Asia, an international environmental protection group, to create forests to prevent desertification.

The donation was made using points collected by Hanwha TotalEnergies employees through a carbon neutrality campaign. Employees earned points by performing activities such as living a day without paper cups and holding paperless meetings through the 'Climate Action 1.5℃' application launched by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Education, as well as by completing climate action quizzes.

The funds will be used to plant trees and restore ecosystems in areas like Mongolia, where desertification is progressing due to climate change, and to support the self-reliance of local residents.

Since last year, Hanwha TotalEnergies has been conducting social contribution activities to create forests using donations raised through employee-participated carbon reduction campaigns.

A Hanwha TotalEnergies official stated, "The carbon reduction social contribution activities carried out since last year have received very positive responses from employees and their families, as they can contribute to saving the global environment by participating in the campaign," adding, "We plan to carry out various environmental protection activities in line with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management."
