Dongwha Enterprise joins forces to protect the local environment... Expands public-private ESG cooperation

[Financial News] Dongwha Enterprise is expanding its environmental conservation activities in partnership with local governments and businesses. It is strengthening its environmental, social and governance (ESG) management in collaboration with local communities, from cleaning up areas around its worksites to reducing waste and recycling resources.
 According to industry sources on the 11th, Dongwha Enterprise held an environmental cleanup activity involving employees around Seoknam Green Urban Forest Park in Incheon’s Seohae-gu.
 Employees from Dongwha Enterprise’s Incheon site and local company Forestco took part in the activity. For about two hours, participants walked around the park, collecting household litter and tidying the surrounding area.
 The event followed a memorandum of understanding on “mutually beneficial cooperation in the ESG environmental sector” signed last September by Incheon’s Seohae-gu and local businesses. The companies involved in the agreement are working together on initiatives including protecting local ecosystems, reducing pollutant emissions and waste, increasing recycling rates, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
 Alongside its environmental conservation work in local communities, Dongwha Enterprise is also pursuing eco-friendly management through the recycling of wood resources. A notable example is its production of particleboard (PB) using waste wood as a raw material. The approach improves resource-use efficiency and reduces waste by reusing discarded wood in manufacturing.
 The company is also pursuing a medium- to long-term strategy led by its dedicated environmental management organization. It has obtained certifications for the carbon storage effects of its key products, while also developing functional building materials and expanding its range of products that reduce hazardous substances. The aim is to strengthen both resource circulation and the competitiveness of its eco-friendly products.
 A Dongwha Enterprise representative said, “It is deeply meaningful that our employees can join forces and contribute to improving the environment in Seohae-gu,” adding, “We will continue working to contribute to the local community, including by holding environmental cleanup activities regularly.”
