[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyoon] Doosan Fuel Cell announced on the 21st that it conducted an eco-friendly social contribution campaign called the ‘Green Walking Challenge’ and donated 10 million KRW to the civic group ‘Saengmyeong-ui Sup’ (Forest of Life). This fund will be used to create forests in aging parks, social welfare facilities, and areas affected by wildfires.

This campaign was organized to promote individual health by encouraging people to walk instead of using public transportation or vehicles for short distances, while also practicing carbon reduction in daily life and contributing to environmental protection.

About 320 participants, including Doosan Fuel Cell employees and their families, as well as employees of partner companies, took part in the campaign for two weeks starting from the 7th, achieving more than three times the initial goal of 10 million steps, reaching 31 million steps.

Through this campaign, Doosan Fuel Cell contributed to reducing a total of 484 kg of carbon emissions, which is equivalent to the amount of carbon absorbed in one year by 73 thirty-year-old pine trees.

A Doosan Fuel Cell representative said, “As a leading company in eco-friendly hydrogen fuel cells, all employees are striving to embed carbon neutrality into the organizational culture,” adding, “We will continue to plan various activities that contribute to the environment.”
