[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Ssangyong C&E delivered 5,000 COVID-19 self-test diagnostic kits on the 14th to the Donghae, Samcheok, and Yeongwol areas in Gangwon Province, where its production plants are located.

The self-diagnostic kits delivered to Donghae City, Samcheok City, and Yeongwol County will be actively used for quarantine efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the region by enabling early detection of confirmed cases through proactive testing and blocking further infection transmission.

A Ssangyong C&E official stated, "As a company representing the region, we delivered self-test diagnostic kits to contribute to strengthening local quarantine measures and minimizing infectious disease outbreaks amid the COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "We will continue to develop various measures to fulfill our corporate social responsibility and achieve mutual growth with the community in accordance with our ESG management principles."

Last year, Ssangyong C&E upgraded its existing social contribution team to the External Cooperation Office and became the first in the domestic cement industry to introduce ESG management by establishing and operating an ESG Management Committee chaired by the Chief Executive Officer.
