BALARAJA – In time for World Environment Day, Korindo Group reaffirms its commitment to environmental preservation through the “Green Project: Ayo Menanam” program. This year’s host is Korindo Heavy Industry, which planted 2,000 perennial seedlings across six designated locations within its operational area.
“Green Project: Ayo Menanam” is part of an annual initiative that, since 2023, has demonstrated care for the environment and contributed to climate change mitigation. Built on collaboration and sustainability, this activity involved the participation of employees and other stakeholders.
At the ceremony, Korindo Foundation’s General Secretary Lee Sunghoon underlined the need to take greater responsibility and protect the surroundings. “We’ve been taking part in greening projects, which help enhance comfort and beauty in neighborhoods. [But I believe] all of us could be more socially aware and responsible for our [own] surroundings.”
Korindo Heavy Industry Director, Junho Song, shared a similar sentiment. He invited everyone to come together and ensure environmental longevity for a better, sustainable future.
“Let’s shoulder the responsibility to safeguard the environment. Any action, even if it’s small, can make a big difference for humanity. And this is not only our duty as individuals, [but as a company]… let this awareness motivate all sectors and industries. Keep the earth as part of our lives, so our children and next generations can enjoy a better future.”

Falling on June 5, the World Environment Day seeks to raise this awareness globally. It has encouraged governments, private sector companies, and citizens worldwide to address issues affecting their natural environment actively.
Korindo Group is among those taking action, with numerous programs focused on preservation. These include tree-planting ceremonies for World Environment Day, which this year involve company members and local communities in separate sessions (the second is slated for late November).
In this way, the global celebration reminds everyone of the bond humans share with nature while driving innovation and collaboration to create a more sustainable Earth. (PR)
