Hanssem announced on November 3 that it conducted a volunteer activity called 'Hanssem Forest Care' with employees and their families.
According to Hanssem, the volunteer event took place on October 31 in the area around Geobuk Island in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province.
This initiative aims to contribute to environmental conservation in the local community through the ongoing management of the forest created by Hanssem, allowing employees and their families to experience the value of nature.
In 2024, Hanssem planted approximately 3,800 trees and over 700 Korean fir trees in Samcheok, Gangwon Province, establishing the 'Hanssem Forest No. 1.' In 2025, the company created 'Hanssem Forest No. 2' in Siheung, planting about 2,300 trees, including Korean red pines and Cornus officinalis. In April of this year, Hanssem established 'Hanssem Forest No. 3' in Andong, Gyeongbuk Province, which had suffered from a large forest fire. The recent volunteer activity was held at 'Hanssem Forest No. 2.'
About 30 employees and their families participated in the event, checking the growth status of the previously planted Korean red pines and applying fertilizer to promote the health of the forest. Experts from the Peace Forest also joined to assist with the management of the Korean red pines and to conduct tailored forest experience programs for the participating children. The children engaged in various nature activities, such as observing tree bark and searching for pine cones, while also participating in a plogging activity to help clean the surrounding environment.
A Hanssem representative stated, 'We hope this activity serves as a reminder of the importance of nature for our employees and their families, and we will continue our environmental conservation efforts for the local community and future generations.'
