Hyundai Engineering to Conduct 500 Million Steps Donation Campaign Until the 20th

Through the 'Exciting Steps Campaign 3', Daily Necessities Donations Planned for Ssokbang Residents to Prepare for the Heatwave

[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Hyundai Engineering will donate daily necessities to residents of jjokbang (small rooms) to prepare for the summer heat through a donation of 500 million steps in the first half of this year.

Hyundai Engineering announced on the 3rd that it is conducting the non-face-to-face step donation social contribution activity "Exciting Steps Campaign 3" in the first half of this year in collaboration with the social enterprise Big Walk.

The "Exciting Steps Campaign" works by installing the "Big Walk" application on a smartphone, selecting and registering for the Hyundai Engineering campaign, and then every step taken in daily life is automatically recorded for Hyundai Engineering's campaign and connected to actual donations. Participants can check the step donation status and achievement rate in real time through the mobile application, allowing them to gain both interest and health while helping neighbors in need.

The campaign, which runs for about a month from the 24th of last month to the 20th of this month, is an open campaign that allows participation not only from Hyundai Engineering employees but also their families and the general public. The target donation step count is set at 500 million steps. The steps collected from Hyundai Engineering employees and general participants will be delivered as various daily necessities to residents of jjokbang in five areas of Seoul, in cooperation with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, to help them spend a safer and healthier summer heat season.

The "Exciting Steps Campaign," first held in the first half of last year, saw a total of about 10,450 participants including the general public, donating approximately 730 million steps last year alone, achieving meaningful results amid the enthusiastic atmosphere of employees and general participants wishing to help the local community.

Hyundai Engineering is actively promoting non-face-to-face social contribution activities as the COVID-19 situation prolongs this year. In addition to the "Exciting Steps Campaign," it donated over 8,600 items in April this year to the social enterprise "Goodwill Store Milal Ilsan Branch," which creates jobs for the disabled through unmanned item collection, and is also conducting the "Growing Seeds at Home in Logs (Jibssi-tong)" activity, which plants acorns in flowerpots made by recycling wood and plants them in forests.

In the second half of the year, following last year, Hyundai Engineering plans to conduct non-face-to-face "Pro Bono" activities by running an "Online Job Mentoring Program" for young people interested in engineering/construction, led by experts from various fields within Hyundai Engineering.

A Hyundai Engineering official said, "In the COVID-19 situation, we are conducting various non-face-to-face social contribution activities so that employees can help neighbors in need in a safer environment," adding, "Our company will continue social contribution activities that lead the resolution of community issues and create greater 'social value' through selection and concentration, collaboration, and strengthening partnerships."
