The Best of Win-Win Management certification is awarded by the Korea Management Certification Institute, an independent third party, to organizations recognized for their systematic win-win management efforts and contributions to co-prosperity with local communities. Among public institutions under the Korea Forest Service, Hansujeong is the first to receive this certification.

Hansujeong was recognized for its efforts since 2019 to promote regional co-prosperity projects, contributing to the sustainable growth and economic independence of local farms.

Representative examples include the "Plant Industry Promotion Project," in which local farms produce and supply plants needed by the arboretum; the "Flea Market Co-Growth Project," which utilizes arboretum infrastructure to support small business owners and the socially disadvantaged; and the "Cultural Co-Prosperity Project," which hosts festivals featuring local talent and representing the region.

Simsangtaek, Chairman of Hansujeong, stated, "The Best of Win-Win Management certification is the result of the collective efforts of all our members over the past seven years to address the risk of local extinction." He added, "Hansujeong will continue its journey to connect communities through plants and to link arboreta, gardens, and people."
