[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Ssangyong Cement donated a total of 5,000 briquettes and 300 kg of kimchi to vulnerable groups with difficult living conditions at the Jeongneung 3-dong Community Center in Seoul on the 25th.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, briquette sharing activities have decreased compared to previous years, and with social distancing measures strengthened to level 2, instead of the usual participation events where briquettes are delivered directly to each household, Ssangyong Cement donated briquettes through the community center to help neighbors in need, such as elderly living alone and grandparent-grandchild families, who must endure a colder winter than ever, to have a warm winter.

The love briquettes and kimchi donated that day were prepared through a matching grant method, where Ssangyong Cement headquarters employees voluntarily raised funds from their monthly salaries and the company added sponsorship funds.

Lee Hyun-jun, CEO, who attended the love briquette donation, expressed regret that they could not deliver the love briquettes directly to each household due to COVID-19, saying, “I hope that even a small warmth will be delivered so that our neighbors can spend a warm winter. We will continue to look after our neighbors and society, actively practice a life of sharing, and devote more interest and effort to fulfilling corporate social responsibility.”

Ssangyong Cement has also carried out love briquette delivery volunteer activities in the Donghae and Yeongwol areas, where its production plants are located.
