The ESG Innovation Policy Awards evaluate and recognize sustainable ESG innovation policies implemented by companies and public institutions, based on criteria such as creative planning, execution efforts, and achievements and feedback.

The Korea Forest Welfare Institute was included in the list of award recipients in recognition of its leadership in achieving carbon neutrality in the public architecture sector with the tallest wooden building in Korea (seven stories), as well as its contributions to carbon absorption through the restoration of forest fire-damaged areas using virtual reality (metaverse) and the creation of barrier-free sharing (forest) trails.

Nam Taeheon, President of the Korea Forest Welfare Institute, stated, "The Korea Forest Welfare Institute will continue to lead innovation across all ESG fields through forest welfare in the future."
