KB Insurance Creates 'Milwon Forest' with Multicultural Families

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] KB Insurance announced on the 5th that it held a 'Honey Source Forest Creation Event' on the 3rd at the InjaeNium Sacheon Training Center located in Gonyang-myeon, Sacheon-si, Gyeongnam.

On this day, KB Insurance, together with the Sacheon-si Family Center and the nonprofit organization Good Change, invited about 50 multicultural families with elementary and middle school children from the Sacheon area to the InjaeNium Sacheon Training Center to participate in various activities centered on the environment.

Along with education on climate change and biodiversity, participants planted chrysanthemum seedlings, a honey source plant favored by honeybees, and engaged in plogging activities around the InjaeNium Sacheon Training Center to reflect once again on the meaning and importance of the environment. Plogging refers to the exercise of picking up trash while jogging.

Additionally, KB Insurance purchased honey directly harvested from Jeongan Village in Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungbuk, a village partnered under the 1 Company 1 Village agreement that has continued for 11 years since 2012, and distributed it to the multicultural families participating in the event.

KB Insurance is creating a honey source forest by utilizing idle spaces within the InjaeNium Sacheon Training Center to secure habitats for honeybees and provide them with food.

A KB Insurance official stated, “This activity was planned to prepare habitats for the restoration of the honeybee ecosystem,” and added, “Not only this project but also in the future, KB Insurance will take the lead in ESG management through various practical activities to maintain interest in ecosystem restoration.”
