Upcycling is a compound word combining 'upgrade' and 'recycle,' meaning creating new products by utilizing discarded materials. A total of 136 Yuhan Corporation employees participated in this volunteer activity. The employees used their lunch breaks at their respective workplaces to engage in making upcycled dolls.

With the help of professional instructors, the employees stuffed cotton directly into doll exteriors shaped like the nationally protected spotted seal and killer whale, completing 136 dolls. They also personally wrote letters to the orphanage children receiving the dolls, raising awareness about the importance of the environment and the meaning of the dolls.

A Yuhan Corporation employee who participated in the volunteer activity expressed, “I am glad to use eco-friendly materials that help the environment and to give meaningful gifts to the children at the orphanage.”

In addition, Yuhan Corporation carries out various eco-friendly activities involving employees and their families, such as forest care at Noeul Park, willow life plogging, and wardrobe cleaning for the Earth, to promote a culture of volunteering among employees and establish an environmentally friendly corporate culture.
