According to the county on the 27th, this event was organized as a meaningful occasion where the public and private sectors actively cooperated to practice Haenam-style ESG, which Haenam-gun is focusing on, and donated rice equivalent to the carbon footprint reduced through walking.

The Love Walk covered approximately 2 km from Haenam County Office to Geumganggol.

Along with walking, a plogging activity?picking up trash while jogging?was also conducted, and the participants’ 1 million footsteps were converted into 139 bags of rice donated by organizations and institutions, which were then given to neighbors in need and welfare facilities in the region.

Haenam-gun, as a leading local government that introduced ESG into administration through Haenam-style ESG, is expanding ESG practice through public-private cooperation with active participation from residents this year.

They have identified 191 tasks by department and are promoting policies such as the Haenam-style ESG monthly missions, the “If I’m with You” relay campaign, and the ESG eco-friendly good travel experience essay contest.

A county official stated, “This event has generated great response through the voluntary participation of residents in practicing Haenam-style ESG,” and added, “We will continue to strive to set an example for other local governments through proactive ESG practices.”
