Sojinkong Launches Chuseok Social Contribution Activities... Ice Pack Distribution Event Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Minjae] The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 5th that it will carry out social contribution activities at Daejeon Jungang Market together with the National Health Insurance Service Daejeon Jungbu Branch and the Daejeon Metropolitan City Social Service Center.

This social contribution activity is part of a joint collaboration project discovered by the three organizations for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management. Following last year, an ice pack sharing event was held again this year.

The ice pack donation event was organized to reduce microplastics. From January this year until the end of last month, ice packs were voluntarily collected from employees of the three organizations and submitted in collection boxes.

The collected reusable ice packs were cleaned and sorted before being delivered to the Daejeon Merchants Association. The ice packs are scheduled to be distributed to merchants within Daejeon ahead of Chuseok.

Additionally, to revitalize the traditional market in celebration of the Chuseok holiday, the Small Enterprise and Market Service will hold a shopping event at Daejeon Jungang Market using Onnuri gift certificates. The fresh agricultural products and daily necessities purchased on this day will be delivered to children at Jahyewon (a childcare center located in Dong-gu, Daejeon).

Park Seonghyo, Director of the Small Enterprise and Market Service, said, “I am honored to be able to carry out social contribution activities with several public institutions again this year following last year,” and added, “We will continue to maintain mutual cooperation with public institutions in the region to fulfill environmental preservation and social responsibilities.”
