- Creation of ecological conservation zones and environmental clean-up along Seoul’s Jungnangcheon Stream
- Over 40 employees engaged in building otter habitats and removing invasive species
LX International conducted biodiversity conservation activities along Seoul’s Jungnangcheon Stream with more than 40 employees including members of its in-house volunteer group(LEXT).
The Jungnangcheon Stream, which originates in Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do and flows through central Seoul for about 34.6 kilometers, is a major tributary of the Han River and a vital habitat for birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
On September 23, LX International (CEO: Yoon Chun-sung) established habitats for otters—designated as a Class I Endangered Wildlife and Natural Monument No. 330—while also carrying out environmental clean-up activities in the area.
The company installed unmanned monitoring cameras to track otter distribution and movement, aiming to provide a healthier living environment. It also removed invasive species such as bur-cucumber (Sicyos angulatus) and humulus vines (Humulus japonicus), which hinder tree growth and cause dieback.
Since last year, LX International has been working with the Community Chest of Korea and the Social Cooperative Hangang to designate ecological conservation zones along Jungnangcheon Stream and to promote biodiversity protection. As a result, the presence of three otters and various other species has been confirmed. The company plans to continue these conservation activities for three years—including ecosystem preservation and habitat creation—and disclose progress annually in its Sustainability Report.
Lee Kwon-cheol, head of the in-house volunteer group, said, “Since last year, we have been carrying out biodiversity conservation efforts, and recent monitoring confirmed the presence of diverse species such as fish, plants, and mammals. Together with our employees, we will continue working to ensure that new life can flourish in Jungnangcheon Stream.”
Beyond Korea, LX International is implementing biodiversity and environmental protection initiatives at its overseas business sites as well. Through these efforts, the company aims to help build a “sustainable natural environment” for future generations. (end)
