[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] POSCO Pohang Steelworks distributed gift packages to underprivileged children in the region.

On the 17th, 'Happiness Kits' were delivered to Pohang City. The packages contained thermal clothing to help children keep warm during the winter.

At the delivery ceremony, Mayor Lee Kang-deok of Pohang and Nam Soo-hee, head of POSCO Pohang Steelworks, warmly greeted each other. Seven people, including steelworks executives and Moon Hee-young, head of the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation Gyeongbuk Regional Headquarters, attended and exchanged Happiness Kits worth 130 million won. These packages will be distributed to 1,428 children using 64 local children's centers in Pohang City. Additionally, 1,000 employee blood donation certificates were also handed over.

The Happiness Kit is one of the social contribution activities of the POSCO 1% Sharing Foundation. It is a sharing project that supports vulnerable children with necessary items during the winter season.

This time, the Happiness Kits were prepared by recycling discarded PET bottles in accordance with POSCO's ESG management policy. The thermal clothing is made from environmentally friendly fibers that reduce raw material and energy consumption as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

Mayor Lee Kang-deok said, "I am grateful for the warm hearts of Nam Soo-hee, head of POSCO Pohang Steelworks, and the employees who continue their sponsorship activities despite COVID-19 and the difficult economic environment."

He also stated, "Pohang City will also strive to improve welfare so that future generations can happily nurture their dreams."
