According to HD Construction Machinery on April 17, the company held the 'Global Volunteer Day' for four days from April 14 to April 17, with participation from employees around the world. This event is a flagship social contribution program that has been conducted in partnership with HD Hyundai Site Solution and local communities since 2023.

Approximately 1,300 employees from 10 countries, including Korea, the United States, China, India, Brazil, Ghana, and the Czech Republic, took part in the event.

In Korea, cleanup activities such as the removal of algal blooms, sediment, and floating debris were carried out at the Sujin Wetland Ecological Garden in Seongnam. In addition, biodiversity conservation efforts were undertaken, including planting nectar plants and installing a 'Bee Hotel' to create habitats for wild bees.

Environmental preservation activities also took place near business sites across the country, including maintenance of drainage channels along the Uiryeong Trail in Bukhansan National Park, planting native plant species in Gyeongju National Park, collecting marine debris from the beaches of Gunsan and Incheon, and planting trees along the roadside forest in Soy-myeon, Eumseong-gun, North Chungcheong Province.

Overseas business sites also conducted activities tailored to local needs. The China subsidiary provided biodiversity protection education at 'Hope Primary School' in Yantai City and engaged in forest preservation and environmental cleanup in the Guoluo Temple Scenic Area of Fushan District. The India subsidiary installed bird feeders and water bowls and maintained drainage channels near the Chakan plant's bird habitat, while the Brazil subsidiary carried out environmental maintenance of trails and facility repairs in Itatiaia National Park.

A representative from HD Construction Machinery stated, "Preserving local ecosystems and harmonizing with communities are responsibilities that companies must continue to uphold," adding, "We will continue efforts toward ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation in the future."
