On 13th February 2025, SPG Co., Ltd. and the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) held a pivotal meeting at the EAAFP Secretariat Office. This meeting marked the beginning of an exciting collaboration focused on supporting the mitigation of biodiversity loss through the conservation of migratory waterbirds and their habitats.
The meeting represented a significant step towards establishing a long-term partnership between the two organisations, with SPG’s increased commitment as a corporate sponsor taking centre stage. As part of this partnership, SPG will contribute 8 million Korean won annually from 2025 to support EAAFP’s vital conservation efforts.
During the meeting, EAAFP emphasised the critical importance of conserving the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and wetlands, highlighting the organisation’s role in safeguarding these ecosystems. EAAFP shared its key sponsorship programmes, including the EAAFP Corporate Champion Programme, which encourages corporate participation in the conservation of migratory waterbirds. EAAFP also underscored the alignment of bird conservation with broader environmental sustainability goals, an approach that closely mirrors SPG’s own commitment to ESG (environmental, social, and governance) strategies.
