[December 2020 / 11th Artificial Ground Greening Awards]
Changjowon won both the Grand Prize (Minister of Environment Award) and the Popularity Award at the 11th Artificial Ground Greening Awards in 2020. The decisive case for the prize was the wall greening of Daewoo E&C's new HQ, the 'Euljiro Twin Tower' — wall greening installed on the podium's south exterior wall was one of the key elements behind the 'Energy Efficiency Grade 1' and 'Top Green Building Certification' simultaneously awarded to the building.
Comprehensive Evaluation Items
- Design-patented 'Garden Block' modular wall-greening system — installable on any wall (curved, straight, columns), with detachable individual blocks for easy replacement and management
- Maintenance guidelines incorporating environmental education — QR-code instructional videos and regular care guidelines
- Circulating irrigation system (about 30L per 10㎡ once a week) — minimizing water consumption
- Wide-ranging projects including 80+ Innisfree stores nationwide, Daewoo E&C Euljiro Twin Tower, Baekdudaegan National Arboretum, and many school campuses
- Social-value initiatives such as hiring care-leavers (50% of workforce)
CEO Park Chang-il said, "We will continue to expand environmental value as a company that saves people and saves nature."
