[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Hanwha General Insurance announced on the 7th that it will sponsor 'fire safety education kits' to 119 elementary schools nationwide, focusing on schools prioritized for educational welfare, in line with the start of the second semester.

From the end of June for one month, over 800 Hanwha General Insurance employees participated in a step donation event aimed at carbon neutrality as well as preventing fire accidents among children.

The participating employees recorded approximately 130 million steps, exceeding the target of 50 million steps. Converted into distance, this amounts to 67,700 km, which is equivalent to the carbon reduction effect of planting 405 30-year-old pine trees.

The fire safety education kits prepared through the employees' step donations consist of a toxic gas blocking rescue mask, fire suppression spray extinguisher, fire escape fire blanket, fire alarm rescue cloth, and breathing cloth.

Homeroom teachers plan to use the kits to educate students on early action guidelines to respond safely and skillfully in case of fire accidents.

A Hanwha General Insurance official stated, “It is important to prevent risks in advance through systematic safety experience education and to practice correct safety habits,” adding, “Our employees will continue to make efforts with diverse perspectives to contribute to creating a safety culture in the local community as well as the environment.”
