(SNNC Co., Ltd.) Donates Winter Supplies to Sarangnanum Welfare Foundation

Donation of Winter Supplies Worth 3 Million KRW for Children

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] POSCO affiliate SNNC (President Kim Junhyung) conducted a future generation living environment improvement project (worth 3 million KRW) at Dodam Group Home from October 26 to November 24, and on the 25th at 10 a.m., held a sharing ceremony to deliver winter protection supplies for children at Dodam Group Home, handing them over to the Gwangyang City Love Sharing Welfare Foundation (Chairman Kim Jaekyung).

This future generation living environment improvement project, jointly carried out by SNNC labor and management, involved the SNNC One Heart Council, the labor union, and the Gwangyang Steelworks Evergreen Mural Volunteer Group.

While SNNC and the Gwangyang Steelworks Evergreen Mural Volunteer Group were painting murals in the alley of the group home, they received a story from the group home, which led to the implementation of this project.

In particular, the group home was in a deteriorated living environment situation due to roof leakage caused by the demolition of rooftop structures and lacked lighting in the surrounding area, making improvement urgent.

The project was carried out after work on weekdays and on weekends, with employees from the One Heart Council, SNNC labor union, SNNC mural and electrical volunteer groups, and the Gwangyang Steelworks Evergreen Mural Volunteer Group sharing the urgent needs of the child welfare facility and working hard to improve it.

The employees, wishing for the children to grow brightly and diligently like the group home's name Dodam, carried out alley mural painting, lighting installation at the house entrance and exterior, and roof waterproofing work.

Additionally, to help the children spend a warm winter, winter protection supplies (wool hats, gloves, scarves, etc.) were purchased and delivered together to Dodam Group Home.

SNNC President Kim Junhyung said, “We hope our children grow up with dreams and hopes, strong and healthy.” He added, “SNNC will actively participate in the growth of children through future generation education and living environment improvement, and will continue to carry out sincere and continuous ESG activities to spread a culture of sharing as a corporate citizen pursuing coexistence and co-prosperity with the local community.”

Kim Jeomhyeon, Secretary General of the Love Sharing Welfare Foundation, said, “Due to COVID-19, children have spent more time at home, making living environment improvement more necessary than anything else. We sincerely thank the SNNC employees who supported the necessary parts and everyone who participated in the volunteer activities.” He added, “We will also ensure that the winter protection supplies reach the children who need them to overcome the cold winter.”

Meanwhile, an SNNC official stated, “Since last year, we have been supporting psychological treatment for abused children in the area and educational and arts programs at local children’s centers. Starting with this living environment improvement, we will expand corporate citizenship activities themed on energy-saving practices such as cool roof installation targeting group facilities with high energy consumption in the region, including local children’s centers and nearby village halls.”
