Kolon Conducts Temperature Sharing Campaign to Overcome COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Kolon Group has launched an employee blood donation campaign to support overcoming the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Starting from the Gumi plant in Gyeongbuk on the 31st of last month, the campaign will be held sequentially at seven business sites nationwide, including Kolon One&Only Tower in Magok, Seoul, Gwacheon, Gangnam, and Songdo, until the 23rd.

The Kolon Social Service Group decided to participate in blood donation as the number of donors sharply decreased and blood supplies for transfusions became insufficient due to the recent spread of COVID-19. Since 2013, Kolon employees have consistently participated in blood donation campaigns twice a year during the unstable blood supply periods in summer and winter, donating a total of about 5,000 blood donation certificates up to early this year. The blood donation certificates donated by employees are delivered to the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation to be used for children suffering from pediatric cancer.

This blood donation campaign is an extension of the company-wide 'Add, Multiply, and Share' campaign that has been ongoing since last month to help neighbors facing difficulties due to COVID-19. Kolon conducted the 'Adding Hearts' program, gifting masks to low-income children with employee donations; the 'Multiplying Wisdom' program, providing lifestyle guides for COVID-19 prevention; and the '12,438 Helping Hands Multiplying' program, promoting local small business owners.

Previously, Kolon Group actively engaged in external donation activities utilizing the group's unique capabilities to overcome COVID-19. This included providing free support for the construction of a 24-bed modular negative pressure ward at Seoul National University Hospital Talent Center in Mungyeong, Gyeongbuk; supplying MB (Melt Blown) filters, a key material for masks, free of charge; donating Onnuri gift certificates to support local small business owners; and providing clothing and health supplements for medical staff, supporting essential facilities and supplies during the COVID-19 crisis.
