SBC, Participates in 'Goodwill Donation' Campaign... Contributing to Job Preservation for Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 10th that it participated in the 'Goodwill Donation' campaign to preserve jobs for socially vulnerable groups. About 200 employees of the institution participated in this campaign, and approximately 400 donated items collected were delivered to the Milal Welfare Foundation's 'Goodwill Store.'

The Goodwill Store is a social economy enterprise that receives items donated by individuals or companies, refurbishes them, and sells them at affordable prices. It provides jobs to 262 people with developmental disabilities across 12 stores nationwide.

Through the virtuous cycle of resources donated by the Service, it has become possible to practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management in public institutions and support vocational rehabilitation training for socially vulnerable groups.

The 'Job Independence Fund for People with Disabilities,' calculated based on the total value of the items donated by the Service, was also automatically donated to support the employment retention of 60 disabled employees at the Goodwill Store, who are facing a job crisis due to decreased sales.

Cho Bong-hwan, Director of the Small Enterprise and Market Service, said, "I am pleased to contribute to preserving jobs for socially vulnerable groups and to reflect on the meaning of resource circulation through goodwill donations," adding that they will continue to strengthen ESG management along with environmental conservation activities.
