[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS Retail announced on the 23rd that it will donate 100 million KRW to the nonprofit organization Good Neighbors to support the recovery of low-income abused children and their families.

The donation will be used for psychological testing of abused children, treatment activities for abused children, and capacity-building support activities for their families. GS Retail decided to participate in the donation because the GS25 Child Safety Keeper campaign, which has been promoted since 2008, is linked to the projects run by Good Neighbors, and there has been a recent increase in cases of abused children.

GS Retail plans to strengthen ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management by playing a broad social public interest role related to child safety. Currently, through more than 16,000 offline platforms nationwide, it serves as an emergency shelter for abused children in local communities, and has established a reporting and rescue system including emergency POS reporting linked with police stations and a rapid response service.

A GS Retail official said, “This donation is meaningful in that it goes beyond our role as local child safety keepers to support the actual recovery of abused children,” adding, “Protecting the rights and recovery of children, who are the future generation, is very important for the sustainable growth of our society, so we hope for continued participation and interest.”
