Gangwon Land, in collaboration with the Taebaeksan National Park Office, held a tree-planting ceremony to establish the "Gangwon Land Forest of Hope" as part of its carbon neutrality initiatives.

The event was held at the "Forest of Hope" site (4,567m²) within Taebaeksan National Park, where approximately 90 participants, including Nam Han-gyu (CEO), who is serving as the acting CEO of Gangwon Land, along with employees and representatives from related institutional investors, directly planted around 600 native and fruit-bearing trees, reflecting on the significance of ecosystem restoration.

In particular, Gangwon Land donated a total of 9.89 million won raised through a recycling campaign involving employee and staff donations of goods, proceeds from the sale of lost items at its resort, and donations collected from the first "Untan-godo Path of Wishes" trekking competition to the Taebaeksan National Park Office, which was used to establish the "Forest of Hope."

A Kangwon Land official, who spoke with this newspaper by phone, said, "It is significant that employees' voluntary participation has led to tangible environmental improvement results. We will take the lead in creating sustainable environmental value."
