[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Mackiss Company received the Minister of Health and Welfare Award in the material sharing category at the '2021 Korea Sharing National Awards.'

The Sharing National Awards are jointly hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, KBS, and the Community Chest of Korea. Established in 2012, this award has continued for 10 years this year. Its purpose is to discover and reward individuals and outstanding organizations that have become social role models through sharing practices.

Mackiss Company was recognized for its contribution to creating economic and social value in the local community through the activation of a sharing culture, including the creation and management of the 'Gyejoksan Hwangto Trail,' hosting the 'Gyejoksan Barefoot Festival,' the 'Daejeon Bare Body Marathon,' organizing 'Visiting Healing Concerts,' and implementing the 'Local Love Scholarship Campaign.'

In particular, since the creation of the Gyejoksan Hwangto Trail in 2006, Mackiss Company has provided a healing space through 16 years of consistent management and free concerts, and has worked to enhance economic and social value by fostering local tourism resources through the Gyejoksan Barefoot Festival and the Daejeon Bare Body Marathon.

Additionally, as a hometown company, it actively participates in revitalizing the local sharing culture by implementing the 'Local Love Scholarship Campaign,' which supports talent development in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungnam regions by allocating a portion of the sales proceeds from its product 'Ijeurin.'

Chairman Cho Woong-rae of Mackiss Company said, “The award was an opportunity to be recognized for our efforts in creating shared value (CSV) in the local community based on the corporate philosophy of 'coexistence' between people,” and added, “Mackiss Company will continue to strive to realize community values through steady sharing and coexistence activities.”
