[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] KT Alpha and the KT Alpha Labor Union announced on the 14th that they delivered summer heatwave relief supplies worth approximately 20 million KRW, including air conditioners and summer blankets, to underprivileged families in welfare blind spots within the local community.

Since 2014, KT Alpha has actively practiced ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management by carrying out various social contribution activities such as sponsoring children and youth in Seoul group homes who need care in cooperation with local welfare centers, and plogging in Dongjak-gu for environmental protection. This year, anticipating a hotter summer than usual, KT Alpha Shopping Media Center planned a companion project for underprivileged groups in the Yangcheon-gu area where it is located.

On the 13th, KT Alpha, together with the KT Group Hope Sharing Foundation and the Sinjeong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center in Yangcheon-gu, supported 350 households of elderly living alone and low-income families residing in Yangcheon-gu with heatwave preparedness items such as portable air conditioners, fans, summer blankets, shade tents, and white kimchi.

Going forward, as part of the companion project, KT Alpha plans to continue spreading a culture of sharing and regional coexistence by delivering samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) for Chobok (the first of the three hottest days), kimchi for kimjang, and Chuseok gifts to underprivileged groups in the community.

Jung Kiho, CEO of KT Alpha, stated, “We will continue to strengthen sustainable management by expanding social contribution activities linked to our business, such as KT Alpha Shopping, to improve community welfare and realize social value in areas like Dongjak-gu and Yangcheon-gu.”
