The Coway Ecological Forest project is a biodiversity conservation initiative that plants endangered species designated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Korea Forest Service in ecological forests to enhance biodiversity and create habitats for wildlife.

The first forest was established through social contribution activities involving employees and their families. A total of 1,750 native plants were planted in the flower beds of the outdoor park on the 3rd floor of the Seoul headquarters, including internationally endangered plants designated by the IUCN such as Dumebuchu, Mallihwa, Miseonamu, and Busan Kkoripul, domestically endangered and rare plants designated by the Korea Forest Service, and endemic plants native only to the Korean Peninsula. In addition, resting areas were created where various birds and insects can inhabit.

Coway plans to promote ecological education activities for employees and local residents in the ecological forest to communicate and raise awareness for ecological protection and conservation, as well as conduct environmental programs for children and adolescents to spread the value of biodiversity.

A Coway representative said, “As a company caring for customers' healthy lives, we established the first Coway Ecological Forest to contribute to biodiversity conservation in urban areas. We will continue to create ecological forests where endangered plants, rare plants, and wildlife can coexist and strive to protect biodiversity.”
