I sincerely welcome you to the Korea Forest Welfare Institute(FoWI).

Under our mission “Elevate the quality of life to provide forest welfare services” we have provided forest welfare services to 970,000 citizens over the last five years. We hope to eliminate forest welfare blind spots so as to ensure that all citizens have access to forest welfare. Our forest welfare programs have contributed to improving citizens’ health and well-being. We provide these programs to citizens who are experiencing prevalent social and environmental issues, such as depression, job stress, behavioral addictions on gambling and smartphones, as well as environmental diseases. FoWI is through fair and transparent management that we show our commitments on achieving sustainable development and growth.

Our customized forest welfare service provides equal opportunities for all citizens to appreciate the benefits of forest welfare.

It is our goal to build a content workplace for our employees.

Third, FoWI practices shared growth and cooperation to create the forest welfare industry ecosystem.
To achieve sustainable growth as a public organization, we are committed to fulfilling our social responsibilities that are required and expected by stakeholders in addition to the economic activities.
