The "Healthy Forest, Comfortable Breath" campaign was planned to create healthy forests and lead environmental protection by having employees directly plant trees, as environmental issues such as climate change and fine dust have become serious recently. Since 2016, HK Innoen has conducted tree planting activities annually at Noeul Park in Mapo-gu, and this year marked the first time resuming in-person activities after COVID-19.

This campaign consisted of two activities: tree planting and seed growing. Through the tree planting activity, HK Innoen employees planted a total of 100 Hovenia dulcis trees in Noeul Park, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Hovenia dulcis is a "meliferous tree" that provides honey and pollen to bees, whose populations have sharply declined due to recent climate change. The forest creation is meaningful not only for preserving the natural ecosystem but also for helping address the climate crisis.

For employees who found it difficult to participate on-site, a non-face-to-face seed growing activity was also conducted. This activity involved growing acorn seeds in a Jipssitong (a log flowerpot for growing seeds at home) at home or office for 100 days, then transplanting them to Noeul Park as a non-face-to-face tree planting activity. A total of 50 employees participated in this seed growing activity, which was held for the first time this year.

An HK Innoen official said, "With the increasing importance of tree planting due to recent large-scale wildfire damages, we conducted this campaign to contribute to a sustainable environment. We will continue to operate eco-friendly campaigns that socially contribute and strive to practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management."
