[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Hyundai L&C, a comprehensive building materials company affiliated with Hyundai Department Store Group, announced on the 25th that it signed a business agreement to support flooring and wallpaper products worth approximately 200 million KRW at the business agreement ceremony for the 'Environmental Disease Prevention Project' for socially vulnerable groups held at the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul.

The Environmental Disease Prevention Project is an environmental welfare service project in which environmental health professionals directly visit about 1,700 vulnerable households, including low-income families, people with disabilities, and elderly living alone, to diagnose indoor air quality. The Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Environmental Technology Institute) has been conducting this project since 2009.

Hyundai L&C has been steadily participating in the Environmental Disease Prevention Project since 2013, and this year plans to donate flooring and wallpaper products worth about 200 million KRW, including the eco-friendly flooring 'Myeongga' and wallpaper 'Cutie,' to improve the living environment of socially vulnerable groups and contribute to the prevention of environmental diseases.

The Myeongga flooring to be donated by Hyundai L&C is the first eco-friendly flooring in Korea made from pure raw materials without using phthalate-based plasticizers or heavy metals. It is known as a safe flooring with excellent antibacterial and antifungal functions, free from allergy concerns. Cutie wallpaper is certified with an environmental label, made by layering paper, non-toxic, and characterized by breathability that allows moisture control.

Ryu Ki-hyun, General Manager of Hyundai L&C Total Interior Business Division, said, "We are proud to be able to participate in this meaningful project promoted by the Environmental Technology Institute," adding, "We hope our small help will contribute to improving the environment and protecting the health of vulnerable groups, and we will continue to pay attention and strive to support this cause."
