[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Kumho Petrochemical employees announced on the 15th that they held a 'Life Sharing Blood Donation' event together with employees in front of their headquarters in Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul.

This blood donation event was organized to overcome the difficulty in blood supply caused by the decrease in blood donations due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Kumho Petrochemical's participation in blood donation with the Korean Red Cross has continued since 2012. While Kumho Petrochemical used to hold the blood donation event once a year, last year they increased the frequency to twice a year and encouraged employee participation by providing separate commemorative gifts from the company in addition to the official gifts from the Red Cross. This year, they plan to increase the number of blood donation activities to three times to more actively improve blood supply.

A Kumho Petrochemical official said, "We hope this will help even a little in overcoming the blood supply shortage crisis caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "Kumho Petrochemical will continue efforts to create a warm society, including customized assistive device donations for people with severe disabilities, production of white canes for the visually impaired, and window replacement projects for facilities for the disabled, in addition to annual blood donations."
