Clean Country was highly praised for creating community-oriented gardens by utilizing idle spaces and public areas in downtown Seoul, expanding citizens' access to green spaces, and thereby enhancing the environmental value of the local community.

Based on its core value of "a virtuous cycle for a healthy and clean world," Clean Country has consistently carried out ESG activities through its flagship social contribution campaign, "Clean Cycle." As part of this initiative, the long-term green space project "Clean Garden" has been established in three locations to date: Baran Stream in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province; Uireung, one of the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty; and Osong Lake Park in Cheongju.

In particular, last year, Clean Country collaborated with the Seoul Metropolitan Government to present its fourth Clean Garden, "Popoland," in the corporate garden section of the Seoul International Garden Show, receiving an enthusiastic response from Seoul citizens. Named after "Popomong," Clean Country's pet-specialized brand, Popoland is an interactive garden designed to support healthy daily life for pets and their owners.

Popoland was created over approximately two months, from March to May last year, covering an area of about 400 square meters (121 pyeong), and was designed under the theme "Happy Footprints Left in Nature." The garden features curved walking paths and gentle mounds as its core design, and is planted with shrubs in colors and textures favored by pets, ensuring comfort and enjoyment for both pets and their owners.

A Clean Country representative stated, "This award is a meaningful result that officially recognizes the achievements of Clean Country's ongoing social responsibility and ESG activities," adding, "We will continue to expand positive change in the local community through various social contribution activities and actively contribute to creating a healthy and clean world."
