Kumho Petrochemical Gifts Hanwoo Beef to Employees: 'Let's All Stay Strong'

Encouraging Employees to Join COVID-19 Overcoming Efforts and Supporting Struggling Hanwoo Farmers
Company-Wide Shutdown Starting After Work on the 24th Until New Year as a 'Proactive Social Distancing Measure'

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Kumho Petrochemical announced on the 21st that it held the 'Let's All Cheer Up' event, gifting Korean beef to all employees to support overcoming the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

This year, Kumho Petrochemical decided to use the welfare budget, which was unused due to reduced corporate activities caused by COVID-19, to support livestock farmers struggling with the sluggish Korean beef consumption. Kumho Petrochemical purchased and procured approximately 400 million KRW worth of 1++ grade Korean beef through the Hoengseong Livestock Cooperative (Hoengseong Chukhyup), and the beef will be delivered to the homes of about 1,300 Kumho Petrochemical Group employees from the 21st to the 24th, before the Christmas holiday.

Moon Dong-jun, President of Kumho Petrochemical, conveyed a message of hope, saying, "This year-end, let's refrain from external gatherings and share good food with family at home," and "Let's overcome difficulties and meet again next year with renewed strength." Kumho Petrochemical will enter a company-wide holiday from Christmas through the New Year to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19.

Meanwhile, in April, Kumho Petrochemical supported the local economy affected by COVID-19 by giving a 1 million KRW encouragement bonus to all group employees and donating 100 million KRW to a regional hospital in Nepal under lockdown through Yonsei Medical Center, participating in overcoming the national crisis.
