Sleep care company Evezary is drawing attention for a series of public interest activities rooted in its focus on environmental management.

The company is building a corporate garden this year as part of the Gyeonggi Garden Culture Expo, an event led by Gyeonggi Province and Yangpyeong-gun. The garden will be unveiled at the expo, which runs Oct. 16-19 at Semiwon and the Dumulmeori area in Yangpyeong-gun.

The garden reflects the company's environmental philosophy, featuring plants chosen for their calming, sleep-friendly qualities and a design that emphasizes rest in nature. It will remain open to the public as a space anyone can visit even after the expo ends.

Evezary, the first company in South Korea to receive forest carbon offset certification, earlier built a carbon-reduction forest at Dumulmeori in Yangpyeong. It partnered with the Han River Basin Environmental Office in March 2024 to mark World Water Day (March 22). The company planted and maintained 2,000 trees on a 6,076-square-meter site. It has also been cultivating a 231,400-square-meter corporate forest in Yangpyeong.

Last year, Evezary signed an agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and took part in the Seoul International Garden Expo, where it built the corporate garden "Saerok Saenok." The project has been credited with expanding carbon sinks and green space while supporting local communities.

Yangpyeong-gun County Governor Jeon Jin-sun said, "We will carefully develop the space being created at Dumulmeori through this expo so that it offers an opportunity to experience a new garden culture."

Evezary recently donated carbon credits to the 2026 Seoul International Environmental Film Festival, organized by the Korea Green Foundation. The credits will be used to offset all carbon emissions generated by the festival, including those from guest invitations and screen operations. Last year, the company fully offset 209 tons of carbon emitted during the festival using its carbon credit holdings, contributing to a carbon-neutral outcome.

Evezary has also participated in the Korea Forest Service's forest carbon offset program since 2013. Through efforts such as building corporate forests, it has received a cumulative 1,924 tons of carbon credits to date.

Evezary CEO Yoon Jong-woong said, "We are focusing on environmental management to share the intangible asset of rest and healing with local communities. We hope our corporate forests and gardens can become good resting places for local residents."
