GH, Ministry of Environment Receives 'Nature Environment Award'

GH's Gwangju Station Area Doram Neighborhood Park Environmental Ecological Restoration

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) received the Minister of Environment Award at the 'Natural Environment Awards' hosted by the Ministry of Environment.

On the 24th, GH announced that it won the grand prize, the Minister of Environment Award, at the 23rd Natural Environment Awards ceremony held on the 23rd, organized by the Korea Ecological Restoration Association and sponsored by the Ministry of Environment.

The Natural Environment Awards have been jointly hosted by the Ministry of Environment and the Korea Ecological Restoration Association since 2001 to discover outstanding cases of restoration and conservation of parks, green spaces, and damaged areas in response to the climate crisis and biodiversity loss, and to raise interest and participation in ecological restoration.

Since the commencement of landscaping work for the Gwangju Station area urban development project in June 2019, GH has continuously carried out ecological restoration activities, including registering a social contribution-type forest carbon offset project (2022), holding a birdhouse building event with students from Yeokdong Elementary School, and GH employees’ activities to remove invasive species (2023).

Kim Se-yong, President of GH, emphasized, "As the climate crisis and environmental changes have become global issues, the need for ESG management is increasing. Taking this award as an opportunity, GH will lead eco-friendly urban development, including carbon neutrality, rather than merely focusing on development projects."
