EY Hanyoung Supports Flower Farmers Affected by COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] EY Han Young announced on the 3rd that it has supported a total of 20 million KRW to flower farms hit hard by COVID-19 through its in-house ‘Thank You Smile Campaign.’

The Thank You Smile Campaign is an internal EY Han Young campaign that sends flowers to family, friends, and colleagues who have helped overcome COVID-19 or shown courageous and warm-hearted behavior. It was conducted to prevent the spread of ‘Corona Blue’ caused by COVID-19 and to deliver warm support and encouragement messages to those around who have gone through difficult times.

When EY Han Young employees nominated colleagues, family, or friends, the company’s in-house social contribution group ‘Hanmaeum Nanumi’ delivered flowers to the recipients. By purchasing flowers directly from flower farms, they supported farms weakened by COVID-19. Additionally, EY Han Young held a ‘Certification Shot’ event where participants who submitted photos of the gifted flowers along with their impressions received Onnuri gift certificates.

The total amount delivered to flower farms and paid out as Onnuri gift certificates through this campaign reached 20 million KRW. EY Han Young employees wrote their own stories and gifted flowers to acquaintances to whom they had not been able to express their gratitude. Employee Seungjin Baek said, “My wife works in the pediatric emergency room of a large hospital,” adding, “I applied for a flower gift for my wife who is fighting on the front lines of COVID-19 even at this moment.”

Previously, EY Han Young’s Hanmaeum Nanumi donated 110 million KRW to the Daegu region after the spread of COVID-19 and delivered masks worth 10 million KRW to low-income youth, migrant workers, and medical staff. They also donated 7.5 million KRW as sponsorship funds for low-income youth, making efforts to support overcoming the crisis.

Park Yonggeun, CEO of EY Han Young, said, “As the campaign name includes ‘Smile,’ I hope this event brings smiles not only to EY Han Young employees and their acquaintances but also to flower farmers and traditional market vendors,” adding, “EY Han Young will continue to strive to create a better world with warm hands.”
