[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Yuhan-Kimberly announced on the 6th that it donated 60,000 of its hygiene and safety products to medical staff at COVID-19 screening clinics who are dedicated to protecting the safety and health of the public amid the prolonged pandemic.

The donated items include three types: Kleenex hand sanitizers, Green Finger hand sanitizing wet wipes, and lotion. These were provided to screening clinics nationwide with the cooperation of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Community Chest of Korea, and the Korean Nurses Association. Additionally, warming supplies prepared through a consumer donation campaign conducted on Naver Happy Bean will be delivered to medical staff as well.

Last year, when masks became scarce due to COVID-19, Yuhan-Kimberly provided 1 million Kleenex health masks and employee donations to medical staff and underprivileged groups in the Daegu region instead of holding the “50th Anniversary Company-wide Tree Planting” event. The company also contributed to stabilizing mask supply by developing its own filters and expanding supply.

A Yuhan-Kimberly official said, “Since the donated items were selected based on prior on-site surveys of needs, we hope they will be of some help to the hardworking medical staff.”

Yuhan-Kimberly continues its efforts to grow together with society through campaigns such as the “Our Mountains Green and Greener” campaign to respond to climate change, expanding sustainable products, donating 1 million sanitary pads annually, providing “First Menstrual Underwear” for girls with developmental disabilities, and donating ultra-small diapers and masks for premature babies.
