This plogging event, Toss Peace’s first local environmental cleanup activity, was organized to reflect on the value of forests and raise awareness about the importance of environmental protection in honor of the International Day of Forests. After the activity, participants shared their thoughts, saying, “I realized that even small efforts can contribute to protecting nature,” and “I’m determined to develop habits that reduce waste and prioritize environmental care.” A Toss representative said, “Moving forward, Toss Peace will continue to engage in various activities beyond environmental protection efforts.”
Toss Peace is an in-house volunteer group composed of Toss employees who participate voluntarily. The name ‘Toss Peace’ combines the brand name ‘Toss’ with ‘Peace.’ Since its establishment in June 2023, Toss Peace has actively volunteered at ‘Purme Social Farm,’ under the Purme Foundation, and ‘Hansarang Village,’ a facility for individuals with severe disabilities.
