KT&G signed a cooperation agreement with the Korea Forest Service and AFoCO (Asia Forest Partnership) on the 24th to strengthen domestic forest restoration and conservation as well as ESG management collaboration.
Through this agreement, KT&G plans to plant tree species suitable for local ecosystems and restore vegetation in national and public forests damaged by wildfires.
Furthermore, over the next five years, it intends to promote forest restoration covering 150,000 square meters, including planting a total of 75,000 trees. After planting, systematic post-management such as monitoring will be implemented to ensure the stability of afforestation and enhance effectiveness.
In addition, KT&G will also proceed with public-private partnership forest restoration through the "Imaginary Forest" creation project, in which employees directly participate. The Imaginary Forest is a forest creation program where employees and local communities participate together as part of KT&G's ESG management activities.
A KT&G official who spoke to this newspaper by phone said, "This agreement is significant because it marks cooperation among corporations, public institutions, and international organizations for forest restoration and environmental conservation."
