Donates 1 billion won, to be distributed and deposited across regional branches nationwide
Continues social contribution activities such as ‘Saetteul Village’ and ‘Ondongne Sup-euro’
KCC (CEO Chung Mong-jin) has donated 1 billion won in neighborly love funds to the Community Chest of Korea, joining the ‘Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign.’
KCC held a donation ceremony on January 12 at the Community Chest of Korea building located in Jung-gu, Seoul. Attending the ceremony were KCC Director Kim Sang-jun and Community Chest of Korea Secretary General Kim Sang-gyun, among others.
This donation was arranged as part of KCC's efforts to fulfill its corporate social responsibility (CSR). In particular, by distributing and depositing the funds across the Community Chest of Korea's regional branches nationwide—including Ulsan, Jeonbuk, and Chungnam, where KCC's major business sites are located—the company ensured that support benefits would be evenly distributed to areas in need.
The donated funds will in turn be designated and deposited with each regional local government to be provided as living and medical expenses to low-income families and neighbors facing economic hardship. Through this, KCC works together with local governments and the Community Chest to ensure that funds for helping those in need are used efficiently, and it aims to build a society that lives together with the local community.
A KCC official stated, “As concerns grow that the hardships facing low-income families are greater than ever due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we hope this donation will provide even a little help to neighbors in difficulty,” adding, “Going forward, we will demonstrate KCC's commitment to mutual prosperity with local communities by steadily continuing not only fund donations but also sustained and sincere social contribution activities.”
Meanwhile, as part of its social contribution activities, KCC has been continuously promoting projects such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's ‘Saetteul Village’ aging-housing improvement project, the Seoul Metropolitan Government's ‘Ondongne Sup-euro’ low-rise residential improvement project, and Seocho-gu's ‘Bandidbul House’ residential environment improvement project. Through these efforts to realize KCC's own social contribution catchphrase, ‘A Better World We Make Together,’ the company is devoting its energy to ESG management.
