Duol Supports Surgery Costs for Children with Pediatric Cancer... Expanding the 'DUAL for children' Campaign

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] DUAL, a global automotive interior materials specialist, announced on the 28th that it has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association and will expand its social contribution activities called ‘DUAL for Children’ to help children in difficult circumstances.

At the signing ceremony held at the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul, DUAL promised regular sponsorship for treatment expenses for children suffering from pediatric cancer. The sponsorship funds will be used annually for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation surgery costs for appropriately selected patients.

Attending the ceremony were Jae-yeol Jeong, CEO of DUAL, and In-young Heo, Secretary General of the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the number of on-site visitors was minimized and quarantine guidelines were strictly followed.

The company explained, “In the case of regular sponsorship, support is provided by matching patients in need of surgery expenses on a one-to-one basis. Since pediatric cancer has a high survival rate when detected and treated early, it is especially rewarding as it can directly contribute to the children regaining their health.”

Last year, DUAL also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dongbang Social Welfare Society and started a project to support medical expenses for children under institutional care due to reasons such as hunger, abuse, or parental abandonment, with the cooperation of its employees.

Jae-yeol Jeong, CEO of DUAL, said, “Since declaring ethical management last year, we have established an ethical management office directly under the CEO and are continuously considering ways to fulfill corporate social responsibility. We are planning various social contribution activities to practice sharing, such as supporting surgery costs for children with incurable diseases and donating hygiene products to single-mother families.”
