The inaugural 'Korea Good Donor Awards' is hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and organized by the Korea Council of Foundations. It was held to reward outstanding donation organizations and donors in line with one of the key government policy tasks for the second half of this year, 'Promotion of Donation and Sharing Culture.'

Since 2012, SPC Group has been recognized for fulfilling its corporate social responsibility by continuously and systematically operating 14 programs across three major areas?talent development, sharing and coexistence, and support for the independence of people with disabilities?centered on the SPC Happy Foundation. As a result, it was selected as the recipient company of the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award.

The group received high praise for operating programs that support independence beyond simple sponsorships, such as the 'My Dream is to be a Patissier' project. Now in its 10th year, the 'My Dream is to be a Patissier' project targets children and adolescents from low-income families who aspire to become baking and pastry experts. The project offers experiences in baking and pastry, scholarship grants, entrepreneurship education, and employment linkage. So far, over 600 children and adolescents have participated, with a cumulative project budget of approximately 450 million KRW. There have been achievements such as students who have participated steadily since 2016 being hired by SPC Group this year.

An SPC Group official stated, “It is especially meaningful to be selected as the first award-winning company at this event held to promote a culture of sharing and donation,” and added, “We will use this award as an opportunity to accelerate not only the activation of donation and sharing but also ESG management that fulfills corporate responsibility.”
