On the 27th, Seven Eleven held a blood donation sharing event in front of its headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, with employees participating.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Seven Eleven announced on the 28th that it held a ‘Blood Donation Campaign Sharing Life’ in collaboration with the Korean Red Cross, conducting a blood donation sharing event with its executives and employees.

This blood donation event was held for the fourth time following February, June, and October of this year, with 30 employees participating at the headquarters alone. Executives and employees from 13 branches nationwide, besides the Seoul headquarters, will participate in relay through local blood donation centers until the end of this month. All blood donors receive a fortune cookie containing a lucky New Year message, and employees who participated in all four blood donation activities this year will be given red wine as a separate commemorative gift. The blood donation certificates collected this year will be delivered along with snacks to children in need of blood supply through the Korea Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Seven Eleven is expanding its blood donation campaign from 1-2 times a year to 4 times a year starting this year to help alleviate the blood supply shortage caused by COVID-19. The Seven Eleven blood donation campaign is a representative social contribution activity of ‘Angel7,’ which creates social value as part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities. It first started in 2008, and the cumulative number of participants over 14 years has reached about 800.

A Seven Eleven official said, “Blood donation is the greatest practice and joy of neighborly love that shares precious life,” adding, “We will also take the lead in activities to widely promote the importance of blood donation in our society.”
