Especially this year, it actively engaged in social contribution volunteer activities to overcome COVID-19 together, including supporting disinfection activities at traditional markets, delivering disinfection supplies to emergency care schools, and the ‘Hand in Hand’ campaign, which purchases products from social economy enterprises and delivers them to neighbors in need in the community.

Moreover, a total of 1,482 executives and employees participated in volunteer activities throughout 2020, including 597 employees who made masks and newborn focus books through non-face-to-face home volunteering and delivered them to low-income families, reflecting on the meaning of sharing.
