The target business establishments are those that began operation before May 3, 2022.
Businesses wishing to participate in the project should refer to the announcement and submit an application for project participation and related documents to the Environmental Management Division of Seo-gu Office from December 23, 2020 to January 15, 2025.
The business sites that have been accepted will undergo document review and on-site evaluation.

A Western official said, “We will actively support small businesses to ease their financial burden and allow them to operate their facilities stably,” adding, “We will do our best to create a sustainable environment where businesses and the environment coexist through thorough aftercare for the supported facilities for three years.”
