Hyundai Engineering Selected as '2019 Outstanding Volunteer Group at National Seoul National Cemetery'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Engineering announced on the 22nd that it received a plaque of appreciation on the 21st at the National Seoul National Cemetery in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, as an 'Outstanding Volunteer Group at the 2019 National Seoul National Cemetery.'

Yang Seop, the director of the Seoul National Cemetery, presented the plaque of appreciation to Eom Hong-seok, head of Hyundai Engineering's Communications Office, expressing gratitude for the volunteer activities Hyundai Engineering has carried out at the cemetery for over five years.

Hyundai Engineering first established a sisterhood relationship with 650 graves in Section 42 of the National Seoul National Cemetery in 2015, and in early 2019, added a partnership with 1,013 graves in Section 48. Currently, they conduct volunteer activities such as flower offerings, cemetery maintenance, and tombstone management across a total of 1,663 graves in two sections.

From 2015 to 2019, they conducted cemetery cleaning volunteer activities twice a year, totaling 10 sessions, with 145 employees and their families, totaling 502 participants.

Since 2019, the number of volunteers per session has been expanded from about 40 to around 80, contributing not only to cemetery management but also providing more people the opportunity to visit the cemetery, listen to expert explanations about the cemetery sections, and reflect on their gratitude toward the enshrined patriotic martyrs.

A Hyundai Engineering official stated, "The National Cemetery Family Volunteer Group is a meaningful social contribution program where employees and their entire families can feel the rewards of volunteering and appreciate the patriotic martyrs enshrined at the cemetery, from parents to young children. We will strive to further strengthen Hyundai Engineering’s corporate culture of fulfilling social responsibility through this plaque of appreciation."
