Economic Daily, Planting and repairing trees on an uninhabited island that
destroys the environment... Samsung Heavy, environmental management
shines. (April 13)
SHI announced on the 13th that it has completed the `Gyuldo Ecological Environment Restoration Project` to maintain the area
around Gyuldo, an uninhabited island near the Geoje shipyard. The vegetation
environment of Gyuldo Island has been deteriorating due to bird droppings and
kudzu vines. In response, SHI has been planting sea pine, camellia,
and wild flowers since the beginning of this year to restore the green area
ratio and maintain habitats for birds such as egrets, and have been cleaning
the surrounding pollutants. In addition, SHI has been continuously carrying out
ecological protection and restoration activities since 2012, such as creating
habitats for an aquatic plant, in Sagok and Sadeung-ri and installing
artificial fish reefs in the waters of Sadudo Island. An official from SHI said, `We will do our best so
that all processes and activities performed within the shipyard do not harm the
environment.` and `We will carry out the 7 environmental management tasks without a
hitch toward 2050 Net Zero.`
