[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Kyobo Securities announced on the 15th that it conducted a non-face-to-face social contribution activity called the ‘Walking & Home Training Challenge’ to overcome COVID-19 and help underprivileged groups.

The activity, involving employees and their families, was held over a total of four weeks starting from August 16. The method was to accumulate 1,000 KRW for every 10,000 steps walked or 10,000 KRW for every 100 home training exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, squats, etc.). The activity was verified through photos from walking apps and videos of home training, resulting in a total accumulation of 14 million KRW.

The accumulated donations were delivered to 14 welfare organizations including Seongrowon Baby House, Yosep Angel’s House, Dongmyeong Child Welfare Center, and Eunpyeong Senior Welfare Center. The donations will be used by each welfare organization to provide meals and purchase gifts for underprivileged children and elderly people during the Chuseok holiday.

CEO Seokgi Lee said, “We conducted a small daily challenge program involving employees and their families to create a society where we live together with neighbors in need,” and added, “We will continue to carry out social contribution activities that bring hope where it is needed and strive to be a company that fulfills its social responsibilities.”

Earlier, in June, Kyobo Securities donated 10 million KRW accumulated from the ‘100,000 Jump Rope Challenge with Families’ to the international relief organization Food for the Hungry to help underprivileged children grow up healthily.
