This is the seventh case established as part of the 'Green Plus Urban Forest Project' agreement signed with the Seoul Metropolitan Government in 2022. The committee created an urban forest covering approximately 1,200 square meters within Boramae Park. A total of 3,127 trees, including species such as Abelia and Ligustrum, which contribute to carbon reduction, have been planted. In the center, a rest area has been installed to provide citizens with a space to relax.

At the opening ceremony of the Seoul International Garden Expo held on the 22nd, more than 300 people attended, including Seoul Mayor Oh Sehoon and Matthias Bechtler, Chairman of the Mercedes-Benz Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, to celebrate the launch of the event together.

Chairman Bechtler stated, "We are pleased to expand green spaces in the city in cooperation with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and to provide citizens with a meaningful place to rest amidst their busy daily lives through the urban forest." He added, "We will continue to lead the green transition through practical activities that contribute to carbon neutrality."

Meanwhile, since the launch of the 'Green Plus Urban Forest Project', the Mercedes-Benz Corporate Social Responsibility Committee has created a total of seven urban forests, including Guro Cheonwang Neighborhood Park, the walking trail in Seoripul Urban Nature Park Area, and now Boramae Park.
