SH Corporation Opens Mobile Platform for Communication... "Actively Gathering Citizens' Opinions"

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH Corporation) announced on the 14th that it has launched and is operating the 'SH Citizen Shareholders Mobile Platform' due to difficulties in direct communication with citizens caused by social distancing measures. The SH Citizen Shareholders is SH Corporation's official citizen communication body.

Last month, SH Corporation used this platform to receive 65 citizen shareholder opinions on two agenda items: the roles SH Corporation should undertake after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ways to generate revenue and create jobs using resources within rental housing complexes.

Among these, SH Corporation selected the proposals ‘Providing employment opportunities to livelihood crisis groups such as those unemployed due to COVID-19 in SH Corporation’s construction site labor positions’ and ‘Preventing SH Corporation project delays through additional and supplementary non-face-to-face systems’ as excellent opinions. The proposal to ‘Operate flea markets quarterly or on specific days each month’ was also selected as an excellent opinion.

SH Corporation plans to review the excellent opinions internally and decide whether to reflect them in the corporation’s projects.

Kim Seyong, President of SH Corporation, stated, “As a smart citizen enterprise, SH Corporation is listening to citizens’ voices and striving to overcome the crisis together even amid the COVID-19 crisis,” adding, “Such efforts by SH will continue in the future.”

Meanwhile, SH Corporation declared itself a ‘citizen shareholder enterprise’ at its vision proclamation ceremony in January last year and launched the SH Citizen Shareholders, composed of 100 citizen shareholders, in October of the same year.
