[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Asia Cement and Halla Cement announced on the 22nd that they participated in the Korea Habitat 'HeyHome (Habitat Mobile Housing)' house-building volunteer work over two days on the 21st and 22nd. Thirty new employees from both companies took part in this volunteer activity held at the Habitat School located in Mokcheon-eup, Cheonan City.

This volunteer activity is part of the 'Building Hope' project sponsorship agreement signed last month between Asia Cement, Halla Cement, and Korea Habitat. Since 2001, Halla Cement and Asia Cement have annually sponsored all cement and dry mortar used in construction and have also participated in on-site house-building volunteer work with employees and their families.

Construction volunteer work, which was suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, resumed this year after three years. However, considering the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the scale of participation was reduced to 30 people in agreement with Habitat.

The Habitat School located in Mokcheon-eup, Cheonan City, is a workshop that builds 'HeyHome,' mobile wooden houses for families affected by disasters or those living in poor housing conditions. Over the two days, employees were divided into two groups and participated in making decks and walls necessary for house assembly. Despite the continuous heatwave, all employees actively carried out their tasks, contributing to sharing hope for neighbors in vulnerable housing environments.

A representative from Asia Cement and Halla Cement stated, "Supporting Korea Habitat is especially meaningful as it is a social contribution activity in which both the company and employees participate with united hearts," adding, "Since it aligns with the development direction for realizing ESG management of both companies, we plan to continue this effort steadily in the future."
