Hugel Participates in Poverty Alleviation Meeting Hosted by China's National Medical Products Administration

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Hugel, a global total medical aesthetic specialist company, announced on the 12th that it participated in the 'Poverty Alleviation Meeting' hosted by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on the 9th.

At this event attended by senior officials including the Deputy Director of the China National Medical Products Administration, related organizations, and companies, the current status and past achievements of the 'Poverty Relief Campaign' led by the China National Medical Products Administration were shared. This was followed by presentations and discussions on future business plans for continuous poverty problem resolution.

As a leading Korean bio company, Hugel attended this event alongside over 50 prominent companies including local Chinese firms such as Alibaba, Tencent, Huayun, Guoyao, JD.com, and global companies like P&G, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), AstraZeneca, Novartis, and L’Oreal.

During the event, Hugel introduced the company and its flagship products such as botulinum toxin and HA fillers. Furthermore, Hugel expressed its intention to actively participate in solving China’s poverty issues by donating 100,000 yuan (approximately 17 million KRW) and committing to continuous relief activities in the future.

Meanwhile, prior to attending this meeting, Hugel has consistently carried out social contribution activities in the domestic market. A representative example is the 'Sharing Love Briquette Event' that has been ongoing since 2013. Hugel employees have volunteered every December to provide briquettes for energy-vulnerable groups in the Gangwon region. Through this briquette sharing volunteer work, which has continued for seven years until last year, a total of 14,200 briquettes were delivered to 59 households.

Hugel is also conducting the 'Real ME' campaign through its cosmetic brand 'Wellage.' Starting with the donation of about 50,000 Wellage products to the Korea Single Mothers Support Network in November last year, Hugel continues active material support activities for marginalized women such as single mothers and domestic migrant women. In addition, Hugel carries out various activities to help neighbors in need, including 'Life Sharing Blood Donation Volunteer Service.'

A Hugel representative said, “As a leading medical aesthetic company in Korea, Hugel has carried out various social contribution activities to fulfill its social responsibility. Aiming to become a global company beyond Korea, we plan to actively expand sharing activities in more regions and countries.”
