[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] Hanwha Systems announced on the 17th that it has supported a total of 663 households of food-insecure children and elderly living alone in the Seoul, Yongin, and Gumi areas, where its business sites are located, with kimchi for kimjang and heating supplies worth approximately 70 million KRW.

From last month until the third week of this month, Hanwha Systems sponsored finished kimchi products to 210 households of food-insecure children and elderly living alone in the Seoul area, and provided kimjang ingredients for 100 households of food-insecure children and elderly living alone at the Namsa-eup Administrative Welfare Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. In addition, it sponsored finished kimchi products to 225 households of national merit recipients, elderly living alone, and single-parent families in Gumi, Gyeongbuk Province, and delivered briquettes and heating oil to 48 households of national merit recipients, elderly living alone, and single-parent families in Gumi. It also supported heating costs for three months and delivered blankets and other heating supplies to 80 elderly living alone in Dongjak-gu, Seoul.

Since 2004, Hanwha Systems employees have personally made kimchi for kimjang every December and shared it with marginalized neighbors. Considering the COVID-19 situation since last year, the kimchi for kimjang has been delivered as finished products, and consolation goods are delivered through a non-face-to-face safe delivery method.

Uh Seong-cheol, CEO of Hanwha Systems, said, "Hanwha Systems will continue to fulfill its corporate social responsibility by providing practical help and warmth to marginalized neighbors in the local community."
