[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 10th at 10 a.m. that it will carry out social contribution activities together with the National Health Insurance Service Daejeon Jungbu Branch and the Daejeon Metropolitan City Social Service Center at Daejeon Jungang Market.

This activity is part of a joint collaboration project discovered by the three organizations, including the Small Enterprise and Market Service, for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management. The three organizations will jointly conduct an ice pack donation event and a traditional market shopping event.

The ice pack donation event was organized to reduce microplastics. Employees of the three organizations, including the Small Enterprise and Market Service, voluntarily donated about 1,000 ice packs to designated collection boxes from March this year until the end of last month. The Small Enterprise and Market Service and others will deliver the washed and sorted ice packs to the Daejeon Merchants Association on this day. These ice packs will be provided to merchants in Daejeon who need ice packs ahead of Chuseok.

The traditional market shopping event was prepared to help traditional market merchants who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. The three organizations raised funds and held a shopping event using Onnuri gift certificates at Daejeon Jungang Market. The Small Enterprise and Market Service plans to deliver the agricultural products and daily necessities purchased on this day to the Daejeon City Hall South Gate Square Screening Clinic and the Daejeon Jung-gu Public Health Center medical staff.

Cho Bonghwan, Director of the Small Enterprise and Market Service, said, "Public institutions in the Daejeon area came together to organize this event to contribute to the local community," adding, "We will continue to expand ESG management in cooperation with public institutions in the region and continuously fulfill the social responsibilities of public institutions."
