[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] GS25 announced on the 26th that it will sponsor the ‘815 Run,’ which has been held since 2020 by the nonprofit housing welfare organization Korea Habitat and singer Sean.

The 815 Run is a charity marathon held annually on Liberation Day, and the funds raised through individual participation fees and corporate sponsorships are used to improve the living conditions of descendants of independence activists.

On the 25th, GS Shop donated miscellaneous goods such as clothing and shoes worth 110 million KRW to Beautiful Store through logistics centers located in Icheon and Gunpo, Gyeonggi Province. The donated items consist of last year’s hit products and refurbished goods equivalent to nine large trucks from GS Shop. These items are sold at discounted prices compared to market prices through bazaars held by Beautiful Store, and the proceeds are used to support marginalized neighbors facing difficulties due to COVID-19 and other challenges.

A GS Retail official said, “Through cooperation with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), we can expand our social contribution activities,” adding, “We plan to continue to grow activities that help marginalized neighbors, including patriotic marketing and eco-friendly initiatives.”
