GS E&C Joins Korea National Arboretum, WWF for Hands-On Environmental Volunteer Event

GS E&C said Sunday it held a hands-on environmental volunteer program with the Korea National Arboretum and the World Wide Fund for Nature at the arboretum in Pocheon, Gyeonggi province. About 80 people, including CEO Heo Yun-hong and employees and their families, took part.
 
Participants attended a lecture by the arboretum’s director on forest ecosystems and the importance of protecting biodiversity. They also joined interactive programs including forest activities, creating a biotope and visiting the Forest Museum, the company said.
 
The program followed the arboretum’s ESG initiative, aiming to help companies and employees’ families learn about and spread the value of ecological conservation. It was also designed to move beyond donation-centered efforts and put into practice a “donate-participate-spread” approach through direct employee involvement. GS E&C said it also delivered a donation to WWF Korea late last year.
 
A GS E&C official said the event was organized to deepen understanding of biodiversity conservation and expand environmental ESG values within the organization. The official said the company will continue to carry out its social responsibility through ESG volunteer activities built around a “donate-participate-spread” cycle.
