This campaign is a nationwide social initiative in which central government agencies, local governments, public institutions, and companies participate in a relay format to raise public awareness of population decline and aging issues and to seek solutions. Participants take photos holding placards with the campaign slogan, share them via social media or press releases, and nominate at least two organizations to join next.

President Byungjin Lee joined the campaign after being nominated by Lee Seongrim, President of the Busan Facilities Corporation, and nominated Bang Seongbin, President of BNK Busan Bank, and Han Suhwan, President of Dong-Eui University, as the next participants.

President Byungjin Lee of Busan Transportation Corporation stated, "Through this campaign, I hope to raise public interest in population issues and contribute to improving awareness for a sustainable local community," adding, "As a public enterprise fulfilling its social responsibilities, the corporation will continue to make practical efforts to address population issues."

Since being designated as a family-friendly certified company in 2011, Busan Transportation Corporation has maintained this certification for 14 consecutive years and is strengthening various childbirth and childcare support policies ahead of recertification in 2025.

In particular, the corporation plans to introduce a system that grants additional personnel evaluation points based on the number of children when an employee or their spouse gives birth or adopts, starting from the first quarter of 2026. In addition, the scope of childbirth congratulatory payments has been expanded to include spouses, and in response to an increase in younger employees, the number of available spots for one-year-old children at the workplace daycare center has been increased from 10 to 15, broadening enrollment opportunities.

Starting in April 2025, the corporation is introducing a joint workplace daycare center in collaboration with institutions that do not operate their own daycare centers. Currently, seven institutions under the Busan Metropolitan Government, including Busan Medical Center, are participating. Through this initiative, the corporation is creating a work environment where employees can better balance work and family life.
