SK Chemicals and Gas, On(tact) Project... Stopping by Seongnam and Andong

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] SK Chemicals announced on the 1st that it will carry out the 'One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project (hereinafter referred to as the Ontact Project)' together with its affiliates SK Gas, SK Bioscience, and SK Plasma.

The Ontact Project is an activity that SK has been implementing since early January to support vulnerable groups in meal services who are suffering due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, with each SK affiliate participating in the project in a relay format.

SK Chemicals and SK Gas have decided to support approximately 24,000 meals at the Sujeong Central Senior Welfare Center and Jungwon Senior Welfare Center located in Seongnam City, where their business sites are located. Each welfare center plans to purchase additional meal menus from small merchants in Seongnam and Andong and deliver them to vulnerable groups such as the elderly through free meals and lunchboxes.

SK Bioscience and SK Plasma, which operate vaccine and blood product business sites in Andong City, also plan to separately support about 10,000 meals at the Andong City Comprehensive Welfare Center.

Park Jonghyun, Head of Management Support Division at SK Chemicals, said, "We hope to deliver a warm meal of kindness to local residents who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and added, "We will continue to consider various win-win measures in collaboration with several local institutions in Seongnam, Andong, and other areas to alleviate the various difficulties of the local community."

The Ontact Project has previously involved SK Materials (Yeongju, Gyeongbuk), SK and SK Biopharm (Seongnam, Gyeonggi), SK Networks Walkerhill Hotel & Resort (Gwangjin, Seoul), and SK Broadband (Suwon, Gyeonggi).
