Jeju Air said on November 15 that it held the “Jeju Air ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Biodiversity Conservation Activity,” an urban ecosystem restoration project, at Jamsil Hangang Park in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on November 14, with the participation of the Environmental Action Association, company employees and their families.

The activity was organized to improve urban ecological environments and create spaces where people and nature can coexist, helping preserve ecosystem balance and biodiversity as urbanization and industrialization reduce green spaces in cities.

At the event, Jeju Air planted 10 golden rain trees, a rare plant designated by the Korea Forest Service, in an area spanning 1,200 square meters at Jamsil Hangang Park. The company contributed to improving ecosystem health through these and other urban ecosystem restoration efforts. According to the Environmental Action Association, one golden rain tree is known to absorb approximately 7 kilograms of carbon dioxide annually. The planting is expected to result in the absorption of approximately 70 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year.

Jeju Air has been working to protect the marine and coastal environments of Jeju Island since 2018. In particular, since signing an agreement with the Biodiversity Foundation in 2021 to support a sustainable future for Jeju's Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, the company has expanded its efforts to include campaigns to protect marine environments and raise awareness of biodiversity, as well as resource-circulation activities. In 2025, it joined the Business and Biodiversity Platform (BNBP), laying the groundwork for advancing its biodiversity conservation network and management system.

A Jeju Air representative said, “Biodiversity conservation is one of the important activities that support corporate sustainability. We will continue to expand the scope of our environmental management through cooperation with local communities and specialized organizations, while strengthening our biodiversity management system.”
