Renault Samsung Motors Labor and Management Donate Vehicles Worth 1 Billion KRW Through Community Chest of Korea

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Renault Samsung Motors labor and management announced on the 19th that they donated vehicles worth approximately 1 billion KRW, including Twizy and Master buses, through the Busan Community Chest of Korea to help the local community struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This donation is to fulfill the agreement made in April when Renault Samsung Motors labor and management concluded the 2019 wage agreement, stating that "a joint social contribution fund will be established under the joint name of labor and management to share the difficulties faced by the local community due to COVID-19."

To this end, Renault Samsung Motors designated and deposited 963.88 million KRW to the Busan Community Chest of Korea on the 15th. The Busan Community Chest of Korea plans to use this donation to support vehicle provision projects for social welfare institutions and social economy organizations in the Busan area, providing vehicles such as the ultra-compact electric car Twizy and Master buses.

The ultra-compact electric car Renault Twizy is very useful for commuting, delivery, security, and facility management in congested urban areas due to its compact size. Social welfare institutions already using Twizy in local welfare facility projects evaluate that Twizy is highly practical for visiting consultations and meal deliveries to socially vulnerable groups such as the disabled and elderly living alone, as it can move more safely and quickly through narrow alleys and hilly roads.

Dominique Signora, President of Renault Samsung Motors, said, "Labor and management have united to make this donation to revitalize the local economy and civil society, which have been depressed due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "We hope everyone will overcome these difficult times together, and Renault Samsung Motors will continue to strive in various ways to fulfill its corporate social responsibility."
