On the 13th, Coway announced that it signed a business agreement with the Ministry of Environment at the ‘2024 Indoor Environment Improvement Business Agreement Ceremony for Vulnerable Groups’ held at the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute on the 12th, marking its seventh consecutive year participating in the environmental disease prevention project.

The environmental disease prevention project for vulnerable groups is a welfare initiative jointly conducted by the Ministry of Environment, the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute, and private companies, aimed at improving indoor environments for socially sensitive groups who are easily exposed to environmental hazards. Since 2018, Coway has annually signed a business agreement with the Ministry of Environment to support healthy indoor environments for socially vulnerable groups. The company provides air purifiers to households in need of indoor air quality improvement and offers free management services such as filter replacement for two years.

In recognition of these contributions, Coway received a commendation from the Minister of Environment at the ceremony.

In addition, Coway has contributed to improving community water welfare since 2015 through projects such as the Safe Groundwater Support Project for residents in groundwater-vulnerable areas in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment.

A Coway representative stated, “We plan to continue our support and maintain ongoing interest in marginalized neighbors and vulnerable groups so that all members of our society can enjoy the value of safe and clean water and air and live in a healthy environment.”
