SPC Group Gains Attention for Various Social Contributions Including Food Bank Initiatives

SPC Group continues to engage in various social contribution activities through the social welfare foundation ‘SPC Happy Foundation’.

According to SPC Group on the 26th, the cumulative performance of the 'Food Bank' project, which donates bread and food products produced by affiliates such as Paris Baguette, SPC Samlip, and BR Korea to social welfare facilities nationwide, has reached 95.1 billion KRW. This is the largest donation amount by a single company since the establishment of the Korea National Council on Social Welfare's nationwide Food Bank.

SPC Group is also actively providing relief supplies in the event of disasters and accidents, following Chairman Heo Young-in’s philosophy of sharing and coexistence. To this end, they have established a permanent cooperation system with the Korean Red Cross to deliver emergency relief supplies and support recovery in areas affected by natural disasters.

Recently, emergency relief supplies were delivered to Pohang City in Gyeongbuk, which was damaged by Typhoon Hin Nam No, as well as to the Seoul metropolitan area including Seoul and Incheon, and the Gangwon and Chungnam regions, which suffered from heavy rain damage. In March 2022, they supported bread, bottled water, and quarantine supplies at the wildfire sites in Uljin and Samcheok, Gyeongbuk, the COVID-19 response sites in Daegu and Gyeongbuk in 2020, and families of Afghan special contributors in 2021.

In addition, SPC Group operates the ‘Happy Bakery & Cafe’ project in collaboration with Seoul City and the Purme Foundation to create jobs for people with disabilities, as well as the ‘SPC Happy Scholarship’ program that supports tuition fees for part-time university students working at SPC Group affiliate brand stores, partner companies, or recommended by external welfare organizations.

Furthermore, activities such as the ‘SPC Happy Fund’ supporting children with disabilities from low-income families, the ‘SPC Happy Bread Sharing Vehicle’ that visits social welfare facilities nationwide to share fresh bread, and the ‘SPC Happy Point Support Project’ that provides meal expenses to children at risk of missing meals during school vacation seasons without school meals are also ongoing.
