Jin Air Conducts Environmental Cleanup Volunteer Activity in Jeju

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Jeju Island announced on the 3rd that it conducted environmental cleanup volunteer activities to protect the island's beautiful nature.

The volunteer activity held on the 2nd involved about 50 participants, including Jin Air cabin crew and representatives from the Catholic Children and Youth Foundation, who carried out the removal of invasive plants to protect native species inhabiting Cheongsu Gotjawal. They also collected various waste and household trash along the coastal area of Suwolbong in Jeju.

Gotjawal is an irregular rocky area formed by lava flows during Jeju Island's volcanic activity, featuring diverse vegetation such as forests and shrubs, and is also called the "lungs of Jeju." It has very high conservation value culturally as well as for its groundwater recharge function, terrain and geological diversity, and biodiversity. In particular, Cheongsu Gotjawal, located in Hangyeong-myeon, Jeju City, is the largest habitat of the endangered species "Unmunsan Firefly."

Meanwhile, Jin Air has been conducting environmental cleanup activities to protect Jeju's environment and raise awareness of its importance since 2019. Starting this year, as part of its ESG management practices, Jin Air has been carrying out various activities including in-flight special events such as storytelling about environmental protection and providing recycled toy keyrings to child passengers, participating in Energy Day campaigns, and operating eco-friendly "Green Flight" campaigns.

Jin Air stated, "We will continue to fulfill our corporate social responsibility and carry out various activities to raise awareness of the importance of environmental protection in daily life."
