Kakao Games Corp. announced on October 19 that it conducted a Han River otter conservation program with around 30 employees and their family members at the Jungnangcheon Environment Center in Nowon-gu, Seoul, on October 18.
This event was part of 'Dagachi Green Day,' an employee-participatory eco-friendly campaign operated since 2022. Following last year's Black-faced Spoonbill Conservation Trip, this year's program was arranged as 'Dagachi Green Day – Han River Otter Conservation Trip with Family.' Aimed at raising awareness of the importance of biodiversity conservation and contributing to the habitat protection of the endangered otter, key executives including new CEO Tae-hwan Kim, employees, and their children participated together.
Participants received education on otters and the Han River ecosystem from experts at the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Jungnangcheon Environment Center. The program combined education and hands-on activities so that children of various ages could take an interest in otter protection. They made seed balls to help purple loosestrife and reed seeds take root in the soil, and also participated in activities painting otter-themed designs on mood lights.
Kakao Games has also been continuing player-participatory, game-linked donation events since 2023. After carrying out donation activities for habitat conservation for polar bears in 2023, honeybees in 2024, and black-faced spoonbills in 2025, the company held an otter-themed event this year and delivered 30 million won to the World Wide Fund for Nature.
Jeong-yeon Jo, Head of the ESG/Value Enhancement Office at Kakao Games, said, "It is meaningful that employees and their families could reflect on the value of biodiversity conservation together through an experiential program that combines environmental education and volunteer work." She added, "We will continue to strengthen our ESG management by carrying out various eco-friendly campaigns, including unique experiential activities."
