Yuhan Corporation has launched a global cooperation project to prevent desertification in Mongolia and respond to the climate crisis.
The company said on the 14th that on the 30th of 4월 it attended a launching ceremony at the Mongolian National University practice forest management office in the Batsumber region of Mongolia for restoration of areas damaged by wildfires and a forest creation project in Mongolia. The event is a follow-up to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed 4월 in Seoul with the Mongolian government, the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO), and the local nongovernmental organization Billion Trees.
Before the launching ceremony, Yuhan Corporation met with Minister Batbaatar Bat of the Mongolian Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to discuss cooperation plans for forest restoration and responding to the climate crisis. The company will actively participate in the local forest creation project and, in cooperation with Mongolian National University, work to restore the ecosystems of areas damaged by wildfires.
The project aims to go beyond simple tree planting to establish a sustainable forest management system based on scientific surveys and community participation. It is expected to become a leading example of global ESG (environmental, social, and governance) cooperation that brings together corporations, governments, and international organizations.
Cho Min-cheol, head of ESG management at Yuhan Corporation, said, "The Mongolia forest creation project is a practical cooperation model for addressing the climate crisis across borders," and added, "As Yuhan Corporation approaches its 100th anniversary, we will continue to fulfill our social responsibility as corporations and do our best to build a sustainable future together with the Mongolian government and international organizations."
