Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province stated on September 6 that it had signed a "Business Agreement for the Creation of a Corporate Cooperation Garden" with APS Group at Dongtan District Office on the 4th. The signing ceremony was attended by Jeong Myunggeun, Mayor of Hwaseong Special City, and Kwon Youngchan, Vice Chairman of APS Co., Ltd., among others.

On that day, Mayor Jeong remarked, "This agreement is a meaningful collaboration in which companies and the local government jointly enhance the value of green spaces and share their benefits with citizens. I hope the corporate cooperation garden will become a space of relaxation and leisure in the everyday lives of our citizens."

He added, "With this agreement as a starting point, we will promote a garden culture in which businesses and the local community participate together," and continued, "In conjunction with 'Botanic Garden Hwaseong,' we aim to create unique green spaces that can only be found in Hwaseong."

This agreement was established to connect the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices of companies with the revitalization of local green spaces and to create garden spaces that benefit citizens.

Under the agreement, Hwaseong City will improve underutilized green areas within Dongtan Yeoul Park by transforming them into a corporate cooperation garden, enhancing both the landscape and the utility of the space. APS Group will participate in the creation of the garden, putting its ESG management into practice to grow in harmony with the local community.

Hwaseong City expects the corporate cooperation garden to not only provide a pleasant resting place for citizens but also become a public-private partnership model that boosts corporate social contribution activities.
