The Citizen Participation Forest is a project promoted by Chungnam Province to achieve carbon neutrality. Celltrion plans to donate 20 million KRW through the Community Chest of Korea Chungnam Social Welfare Community Chest, the fundraising organization for this project. The donation will be used to plant 1,000 trees, including zelkova and maple trees, and to install convenience facilities.

Celltrion has been engaging in environmentally friendly corporate activities, including having its executives and employees directly participate in environmental protection activities every year to fulfill its social responsibility for environmental management. Last year, it was the main sponsor of the '2030 Busan World Expo Bid Blue Siren Ocean City Plogging' organized by Busan Metropolitan City, where volunteer employees participated in cleaning activities along the coastline and surrounding urban areas.

In addition, Celltrion is carrying out resource, environment, and energy improvement goals and tasks through acquiring the Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) certification established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Furthermore, it is taking action to address environmental issues by joining the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) supporters.

A Celltrion representative stated, "Celltrion deeply recognizes that responding to climate change and preserving the global environment are indispensable elements of corporate activities. By participating in this project, we aim to exert a positive influence on the future environment and continue to strive to become a comprehensive biotechnology company that realizes the value of promoting human health and welfare."
