[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] SK Hynix announced on the 25th that it has donated 2.16 billion KRW from the 2022 Happiness Sharing Fund to the Community Chest of Korea.

The event held the previous day at the Gyeonggi Icheon Campus was attended by SK Hynix CEO Lee Seok-hee, External Cooperation President Kim Dong-seop, CR Strategy Vice President Park Yong-geun, Icheon Labor Union Chairman Kim Hae-ju, Cheongju Labor Union Chairman Kang Guk-mo, and Community Chest of Korea Chairman Jo Heung-sik. At this event, four outstanding donors who have participated in the fund for over 10 years were awarded the Happiness Sharing Practice Award.

SK Hynix CEO Lee Seok-hee said, "I am grateful to the Community Chest of Korea and our members who have joined to make the Happiness Sharing Fund a proud culture of SK Hynix," adding, "We will continue to do our best to share happiness with society."

The Happiness Sharing Fund is a fund established by SK Hynix since 2011 to support vulnerable groups in the region. It operates on a matching grant basis, where the company donates an amount equal to the employees' contributions. Marking its 12th year this year, the cumulative donation amount of the Happiness Sharing Fund totals 27.5 billion KRW, benefiting 65,500 people.

The Happiness Sharing Fund is utilized across six areas, including projects addressing social issues such as 'Happiness GPS' and 'Silver Friend,' as well as future talent development projects like 'Heinstein' and 'Happiness IT Zone.'
