Bright Energy Partners said on the 21st that on the 17th, more than 100 employees and their family members held the "Honey Forest, Bee Forest Campaign" at Noeul Park in Mapo District, Seoul.
The event was part of Bright Energy Partners' ESG (environmental, social responsibility, and governance) management and was organized to expand urban carbon sinks and restore the bee ecosystem. Employees accompanied by their children took part, learning and practicing the value of the environment across generations.
The "Honey Forest, Bee Forest Campaign" is a project to plant nectar-bearing trees to restore bee habitats and to enhance fine dust reduction and carbon sequestration functions.
Honeybees are a keystone of the ecosystem, responsible for pollinating about 75% of plants worldwide, and their numbers are plummeting due to urbanization and environmental pollution. The campaign was created to raise awareness of the importance of restoring this ecological balance and to provide a place for action to revive ecosystems in the city.
Participants planted more than 200 nectar-bearing trees, and children joined a "Seed Bank" experience of planting seeds and a drawing activity. After the event, an awards ceremony for the children's works was held, sharing the meaning of the environment under the theme "The tree I planted, the forest we created."
Kim Hee-seong, chair of Bright Energy Partners, said, "Our work, which spans solar power and electric vehicles, is ultimately energy tree-planting," and added, "Through this, we aim to realize a sustainable future."
