Hankook Tire Implements Support Worth 1 Billion KRW for Dealerships to Respond to COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hankook Tire & Technology (hereinafter Hankook Tire) announced on the 9th that it will provide its dealerships with COVID-19 prevention supplies and response support funds worth a total of 1 billion KRW.

This support measure was prepared to promote mutual growth with dealership owners by providing the costs and supplies necessary to improve store hygiene environments, amid the difficulties faced by most small business owners due to reduced consumer activity and sales decline following the spread of COVID-19.

Major Hankook Tire dealerships, including T Station, The Tire Shop, and TBX, will receive funds for purchasing COVID-19 prevention and quarantine supplies. Additionally, hand sanitizers and disinfectants will be provided to create a store environment where consumers can visit with confidence.

Meanwhile, Hankook Tire is undertaking various efforts to prevent the spread and minimize damage amid the national crisis as COVID-19 shows signs of nationwide spread. To protect the health and safety of employees, preventive measures such as remote work arrangements for vulnerable staff, distribution of quarantine and hygiene supplies, and staggered commuting hours to reduce infection risks from close contact on public transportation are being systematically and proactively implemented. Furthermore, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and minimize damage among vulnerable groups, Hankook Tire donated 500 million KRW to the Community Chest of Korea, also known as Sarangui Yeolmae Social Welfare Community Chest.
