[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] Eugene Group announced on the 2nd that Chairman Yoo Kyung-sun and executives greeted employees arriving at the Seoul Yeouido headquarters, marking the first start of the new year.

Chairman Yoo and the executives came out early in the morning to personally shake hands and exchange well-wishes with all employees arriving for work. Additionally, the group donated 300 million KRW to the 'Hope 2020 Sharing Campaign' organized by the Community Chest of Korea to support neighbors in need.

Instead of a solemn and formal opening ceremony where everyone gathers to listen to a New Year's address, Eugene Group has been holding an event every year where executives and employees exchange New Year's greetings and start the new year energetically.

This year, the group plans to strengthen social contribution activities utilizing its diverse business infrastructure, including building materials and distribution, finance, logistics and IT, leisure, and entertainment. Centered on the Hope Sharing Committee, the group's social contribution council, the group will establish the direction and overall system for social contribution activities, select social issues, and promote company-wide implementation plans.

A Eugene Group official said, "We donated funds to share the values of hope and sharing with our employees at the start of the new year," adding, "We plan to carry out support activities that provide practical help through social contribution programs that leverage our business expertise."
