01 Coway River
PloggingIn 2022, Coway launched River Plogging, an eco-friendly campaign that combines jogging and picking up litter along waterways. The campaign aims to encourage the practice of environmental protection in people’s daily lives by promoting the collection of litter while jogging or taking a walk.
The campaign is open to anyone who wishes to participate by collecting litter near riversides, beaches, and valleys, and sharing a picture of their plogging experience on social media.
Coway plans to hold the River Plogging campaign annually to continue to raise awareness of the importance of water conservation and to encourage small but impactful actions such as plogging.

02 Coway Classroom
Forest ProjectCoway Classroom Forest Project is designed to help school children learn about biodiversity and aims to create social value. Coway donates air purifying plants to five schools each year to provide an opportunity for children to grow companion trees in their classrooms, which gives them an understanding of environmental protection.
Along with the donation of air-purifying plants, Coway conducts education programs that help children learn about the principles of air purification and the importance of clean air. For every count of plants donated in the classrooms, Coway plants trees in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province in South Korea, to make a forest.
By 2025, Coway plans to donate approximately 3,000 air-purifying plants to elementary schools and continue activities to reduce carbon emissions and protect our ecosystem.
