Kakao is marking World Environment Day with both online and offline environmental campaigns. The company said it is running an online initiative to raise awareness of resource circulation through its KakaoTogether social contribution platform. Users can join by clicking a button, triggering a 1,000 won donation from Kakao once per account. Offline, Kakao plans a volunteer activity on June 6 involving about 100 employees and family members to protect the Unjungcheon stream ecosystem in Seongnam.

Kakao Pay will waive Kakao Pay Money payment fees in full for newly signed offline merchants that are small and medium-sized businesses through the end of this year. The program applies to businesses with annual sales of 500 million won or less that complete sign-up and screening from May 18 to June 30. Kakao Pay will also provide a marketing package, free payment kits, support for local currency and policy subsidy payments, and foreign tourist payments.
