Hankook Tire Employees Participate Together in Untact Volunteer Activities

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hankook Tire & Technology (hereinafter Hankook Tire) announced on the 19th that it will carry out an untact volunteer activity by December in cooperation with the Milal Welfare Foundation and World Share, delivering more than 5,000 solar lanterns and corn sock doll kits, directly made by employees, to children in developing countries.

This untact volunteer activity was planned to continuously convey warm hearts to places in need without stopping sharing activities, despite the restrictions on face-to-face volunteer work due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The solar lanterns, which use solar power to charge batteries during the day and can be used as lighting at night, will be provided to developing countries with low electricity supply rates such as Nepal, Liberia, Malawi, Myanmar, and Ethiopia, and will be used to improve the educational environment for children in those countries. The eco-friendly corn fiber sock doll, Conidoll, will be delivered as an attachment doll to support the emotional well-being of children in developing countries such as Tanzania, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Kyrgyzstan.

Meanwhile, Hankook Tire has been carrying out various activities to end COVID-19 early and prevent its spread. It donated 500 million KRW to the Community Chest of Korea, 70 million KRW to local governments in the Chungcheong region including Daedeok-gu, Daejeon, to prevent the spread among vulnerable groups, and the volunteer group including the labor union directly participated in emergency disinfection volunteer activities at multi-use facilities around Sintanjin Market and Sintanjin Station in Daedeok-gu, Daejeon.

In addition, to coexist with small business owners and dealers struggling due to reduced consumption, it provided preventive supplies and response support funds worth a total of 1 billion KRW, and participated in the ‘Love Sharing Blood Donation Campaign’ to help with the difficult blood supply situation caused by COVID-19, sharing warmth and love.
