[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Park] KG Group (Chairman Kwak Jae-seon) donated 300 million KRW to the Korean Red Cross (Chairman Shin Hee-young) on Monday the 7th to provide emergency relief for the Ukrainian people suffering from the crisis.

The donation ceremony held at the Korean Red Cross Seoul Office was attended by Kwak Jae-seon, Chairman of KG Group, Shin Hee-young, Chairman of the Korean Red Cross, and officials from both organizations.

Ukraine is facing a humanitarian crisis as civilian facilities such as electricity, water supply, roads, bridges, and housing have been destroyed, and cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Kherson are severely affected. In particular, there is an urgent need for humanitarian aid due to shortages of evacuation shelters, emergency medical services, medicines, and drinking water.

Since the Korean Red Cross recently appealed for emergency support worth 2 billion KRW for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, KG Group has actively joined to share this cause.

Kwak Jae-seon, Chairman of KG Group, stated, “We have decided to participate in humanitarian support to help Ukraine, which is going through difficulties. We sincerely hope peace will come soon, and KG Group will continue to engage in acts of sharing and love.”

Shin Hee-young, Chairman of the Korean Red Cross, said, “We deeply appreciate KG Group’s humanitarian support for the Ukrainian people suffering from the recent humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.” She added, “The donation from KG Group, filled with meaningful intentions, will be used to support emergency relief activities on the ground in Ukraine.”

KG Group regularly conducts the ‘Love Blood Donation Campaign’ at its affiliated business sites nationwide and actively practices ESG management through various social contribution activities, including stabilizing blood supply during the difficult COVID-19 period.
