[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Daesang announced on the 27th that it produced 500 boxes of Jongga Jip Kimchi sets worth approximately 35 million KRW and donated them to Jongno-gu, Seoul.

The Jongga Jip Kimchi sets delivered this time consist of a total of five types of Jongga Jip Kimchi: ▲Pogi Kimchi 3.7kg ▲Baek Kimchi 1kg ▲Yeolmu Kimchi 1.5kg ▲Nabak Kimchi 1.2kg ▲Bokkeum Kimchi 190g. These will be directly delivered to 500 vulnerable households in Jongno-gu through the neighborhood community centers in each dong of Jongno-gu. In particular, Daesang entrusted the production of the Jongga Jip Kimchi sets to the social enterprise ‘Cheongmil,’ thereby contributing to job creation for vulnerable groups such as the disabled and the elderly, adding more meaning to its social contribution.

Daesang relocated its headquarters from Sinseol-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul to Inui-dong, Jongno-gu in November last year and has been promoting community-linked social contribution activities with Jongno-gu. This donation of Jongga Jip Kimchi sets is the first community-linked social contribution activity in collaboration with Jongno-gu.

Na Gwangju, Head of Daesang ESG Management Office, said, “Ahead of May, the month of family, we prepared the Jongga Jip Kimchi sharing event to support the healthy and happy dietary life of vulnerable neighbors in the community,” and added, “We will continue to discover various social contribution activities to contribute to the development of the local community and fulfill the company’s social responsibility.”
