[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] Kolon Group on the 25th donated 500 blood donation certificates voluntarily contributed by its employees to the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation.


Kolon employees collected blood donation certificates from nationwide workplaces through two in-house blood donation campaigns held last summer and winter. The accumulated blood donation certificates were delivered to the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation to be used for children with leukemia and pediatric cancer who need transfusions.


Kim Seung-il, Head of Kolon CSR Office (Vice President), said, "It is said that the number of blood donors has sharply decreased recently due to the impact of COVID-19," adding, "We will continue to actively share warm love especially during difficult times."


Since 2013, Kolon has been participating in solving the social problem of declining blood donors by conducting campaigns called 'Donate Blood and Take a Vacation' and 'Donate Blood and Have a Year-end Party' at nationwide workplaces during the summer vacation season and winter when blood supply sharply decreases.



Including the blood donation certificates donated this year, a total of about 5,000 blood donation certificates have been donated to pediatric cancer patients so far.
