This pilot project is a model that connects the social contribution activities of large corporations with small and medium-sized enterprises that have limited financial resources, supporting the replacement of outdated air pollution prevention facilities and aiming to improve air quality while promoting mutual growth among businesses. A total of 846 million won will be invested, with POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks contributing 423 million won, the national government and Gwangyang City each providing 170 million won, and small and medium-sized enterprises covering 85 million won.

Small and medium-sized enterprises can reduce their financial burden and proceed with facility improvements, while large corporations receive incentives such as recognition for emissions reduction achievements and the opportunity to share their environmental management expertise. Commissioner Kim Youngwoo stated, "We hope this will serve as a model case of large and small businesses working together to lead environmental improvement."
