[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Min Kyung-jun, CEO of POSCO Chemical, along with employees, participated in the ‘Thanks to You Challenge’ to express gratitude to medical staff dedicated to combating the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The ‘Thanks to You Challenge’ is a participatory campaign initiated by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters to encourage medical personnel who are putting their utmost effort into preventing the spread of COVID-19 and treating patients. Participants post photos and messages showing sign language gestures symbolizing ‘respect’ and ‘pride’ on social media, then nominate the next participants in a relay format.

CEO Min Kyung-jun joined the campaign after being nominated by Kim Kyo-young, CEO of Air Products Korea. Employees from POSCO Chemical’s nationwide sites in Pohang, Gumi, Gwangyang, and Sejong also took part, expressing their gratitude and support to the medical staff. Subsequently, the next challengers nominated were Lee Geum-ok, CEO of Chosun Refractories, Yang Heung-yeol, CEO of Pohang Steelers, and Kim Dong-won, CEO of PMC Tech.

Meanwhile, POSCO Chemical is also carrying out various support activities to overcome COVID-19. They held sales campaigns for local specialty products such as spinach and chives to support regional farms, and provided masks and food supplies to medical staff and vulnerable groups near their workplaces. Additionally, they donated 200 million KRW through the National Disaster Relief Association for COVID-19 prevention and quarantine activities, taking the lead in coexistence with the local community.
