[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] SPC Group announced on the 10th that it carried out social contribution activities such as delivering products to welfare institutions near its nationwide business sites in celebration of the Lunar New Year holiday.

This activity was conducted targeting 15 welfare institutions near 9 business sites nationwide of SPC Group affiliates including Paris Croissant, SPC Samlip, and BR Korea.

First, employees of SPC Group's Yangjae-dong headquarters sent New Year's greetings to 300 local senior citizens through a video they filmed themselves, in cooperation with the Seocho-gu Yangjae Senior Welfare Center. They supported 3,000 steamed buns (Hoppang) to be delivered to the elderly at a non-face-to-face holiday event prepared independently by the Yangjae Senior Welfare Center. In addition, gift sets consisting of Samlip Hoppang, udon, and Dunkin' Donuts coffee were sponsored for 65 low-income elderly households.

Paris Croissant sponsored 120 bags of 10kg rice for the ‘2021 Seongnam City Lunar New Year Love Food Sharing Event’ held by Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, which supports about 30 welfare facilities for children, the elderly, and the disabled. They also delivered products such as Paris Baguette roll cakes to Seongnam Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, Yeoksam Senior Welfare Center, and Hasang Disabled Welfare Center.

BR Korea delivered holiday gift sets to low-income households through the Eumseong-gun Senior Welfare Center. SPC Samlip supported Samlip bread products to local welfare centers and child institutions in Siheung, Seocheon, and Gwangju.

An SPC Group official said, “We carried out various social contribution activities for local communities and marginalized groups suffering from COVID-19 during the Lunar New Year holiday,” adding, “SPC Group will continue activities that help neighbors based on the philosophy that ‘sharing is the mission of a company.’”

Meanwhile, SPC Group has been conducting holiday sponsorships through nearby welfare centers since 2003 to participate in improving local community welfare and win-win activities, and has sponsored products and cash worth a total of 1.2 billion KRW to date.
