Gangwon Land Launches 'Forest of Hope' Tree Planting...Continues ESG Initiatives to Address Climate Crisis

Gangwon Land announced on April 15 that it held a tree planting event to create the 'Gangwon Land Forest of Hope' in partnership with the Taebaeksan National Park Office as part of its commitment to carbon neutrality.

The event took place on a 4,567-square-meter site designated as the 'Forest of Hope' in the Taebaeksan National Park area. Over 90 participants, including Hankyu Nam, Acting CEO of Gangwon Land, employees, and officials from related organizations, took part in planting approximately 600 native and fruit trees, reaffirming their commitment to ecosystem restoration.

In particular, to fund the event, Gangwon Land delivered a total donation of 9.89 million won to the Taebaeksan National Park Office. The donation was raised through employee-led recycling campaigns involving item donations, proceeds from lost-and-found item sales at the resort, and the first Un-Tan Godo Wish Trail Trekking Event. The funds were used for the creation of the 'Forest of Hope.'

Acting CEO Nam commented, "The voluntary participation of employees is especially meaningful as it leads to tangible environmental improvements. As a public corporation, we will continue to actively support carbon neutrality policies and take the lead in creating sustainable environmental value through collaboration with the local community and stakeholders."

Meanwhile, Gangwon Land has also worked with the National Forest Management Team on wildfire prevention campaigns and tree planting events. In addition, the company continues to advance various ESG initiatives such as expanding resource circulation activities, promoting energy savings, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Going forward, Gangwon Land plans to uphold its social responsibility as a public corporation by continuing environmental preservation activities in partnership with the local community.
