[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hankook Tire & Technology is strengthening its ESG competitiveness by carrying out various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects.
Notably, reflecting its core business characteristic of ‘Mobility,’ the company is leading the realization of social value through sharing activities such as ‘Vehicle Sharing,’ which provides vehicles to social welfare organizations, and ‘Tire Sharing,’ which replaces worn-out tires. Since starting the vehicle sharing project in 2008, Hankook Tire has supported a total of over 550 vehicles to social welfare organizations nationwide as of last year, and since 2010, it has provided more than 24,000 tires through tire sharing.
Additionally, to promote biodiversity and restore ecosystems, Hankook Tire is conducting a project to save endangered species in the Daejeon area through Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with six institutions. Furthermore, it is engaged in community activities such as the ‘Warm Social Housing Project’ to alleviate housing instability among vulnerable groups, and ‘Dream With,’ which supports community members in directly solving local issues. In particular, Hankook Tire continuously shares its vision for sustainability with employees through seven CSR committees specialized in different internal areas, steadily enhancing the company-wide CSR level.
