The activity conducted on the 30th is part of the ‘Sejong City Specialized Garden Creation Plan’ aimed at creating landscapes in rural areas harmonized with garden cities. KISED participated to coexist with the local community and realize the value of environmental conservation. The KISED volunteer group ‘Startier’ directly planted about 200 moss phlox at Sangroksu Farm and carried out surrounding environmental cleanup activities to prepare for welcoming visitors.

Lee Jang-hoon, Head of the Scale-up Division at KISED, said, “We hope that the farm garden created today will become a comfortable resting place for local citizens,” adding, “We will continue to coexist and cooperate with the local community and become an institution leading ESG management in the public sector.”
