Hyundai Engineering Collects '500 Million Steps' to Support Supplies for Ssokbangchon
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Hyundai Engineering and the Partner Companies Council participated in helping neighbors in need have a warm winter.
On the 19th, Hyundai Engineering announced on the 20th that, together with its partner companies, it donated 1,140 winter clothing items, 212 electric mats, and 5 tons of mixed grains rice to five shantytown areas in Seoul: Donuidong, Changsin-dong, Namdaemun, Seoul Station, and Yeongdeungpo.
The delivery ceremony held at the Seoul Metropolitan Donuidong Shantytown Counseling Center was attended by Heo Seung-hyun, Head of Purchasing at Hyundai Engineering; Lim Seung-jae, Head of Strategic Planning and Business Division; Kim Seok-hoe, Chairman of Hyundai Engineering Partner Companies Council (CEO of Borim Construction); Kang Jae-shin, Director of Seoul City Self-Support Division; and Choi Young-min, Director of Donuidong Shantytown Counseling Center, among other officials.
This harsh winter goods donation was the result of the "Exciting Steps 2" campaign conducted by Hyundai Engineering last month, which involved step donations. About 8,900 Hyundai Engineering employees and the general public donated over 500 million steps, exceeding the goal of 300 million steps.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Hyundai Engineering purchasing headquarters employees and Partner Companies Council officials visited the Jongno Comprehensive Social Welfare Center to deliver kimchi and rice, and also visited the childcare facility Seondeokwon to provide home appliances such as vacuum cleaners, freezers, and dryers that help improve the children's living conditions.
