Kolon Industries Conducts Emergency Volunteer Activities for Elderly Living Alone Struggling Due to Cold Wave

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] Kolon Industries has recently engaged in emergency volunteer activities to help neighbors struggling due to the record-breaking cold wave.

On the 12th, Kolon Industries employees collaborated with the Senior Welfare Center in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, to deliver food items worth about 100,000 KRW per household, including rice, kimchi, and ready-to-eat meals, to elderly individuals living alone who have difficulty moving due to the cold wave. They also provided hand sanitizers for COVID-19 prevention and masks equipped with MB filters produced directly by Kolon Industries.

In particular, about 30 employees who voluntarily participated personally prepared the boxes of supplies and visited some households to deliver the boxes, conveying warm support. The home visits were conducted with minimal volunteer numbers, following strict quarantine measures such as prior disinfection, mask-wearing, and delivery at the door.

Kolon Industries actively participated in solving social issues last year by donating 2 million MB (Melt Blown) filters, a key material for masks, free of charge to help overcome COVID-19, and by donating Onnuri gift certificates to support local small business owners. The Kolon Group also declared 'We Together 2021,' a commitment to grow together with society, in its 2021 New Year's address, expressing its intention to actively propose creative solutions to public problems. With differentiated technology and capabilities, the company plans to lead efforts to fulfill social responsibility by supporting where it is most needed.
