BYN Black Yak Group's social welfare foundation, Black Yak Kang Tae-sun Sharing Foundation, announced on the 28th that it has selected the 8th group of 'Black Yak Youth Sherpas' who will carry out various public interest campaigns and held an inauguration ceremony.
Black Yak Youth Sherpas is a project that the foundation has been running for eight years to jointly consider and solve domestic and international environmental and social issues. The newly selected 8th group consists of 35 members mainly from the 2030 generation. They plan to visit domestic island areas struggling with marine debris to conduct marine cleanup activities, while also engaging in domestic and international ecological garden creation activities to reduce carbon emissions and expand forests. Additionally, they will participate in eco-friendly activities that establish a new resource circulation system by recycling everyday plastic waste. Furthermore, they will actively take part in the foundation's public interest activities such as delivering 'Yak Hyo (孝) Boxes' containing Black Yak products and daily necessities to elderly people living alone nationwide, campaigns to find missing children, disaster area recovery efforts, briquette sharing volunteer work, and support for climate refugees.
The official inauguration ceremony was held on the 25th at the Black Yak Yangjae headquarters building in Seocho-gu, Seoul, with foundation and headquarters officials in attendance. At the ceremony, Chairman Kang Tae-sun said, "I am pleased that the Youth Sherpas can carry out even more meaningful activities together with the foundation, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year," adding, "We look forward to the Youth Sherpas' active role in amplifying the impact of the foundation's various activities aimed at enabling people and nature to live together, and we will spare no support."
