[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Minjae] The Small Enterprise and Market Service (SEMAS) announced on the 13th that it will launch company-wide activities from the second half of this year to address local community issues and support marginalized groups.

On the 7th, SEMAS organized a "Love Blood Donation" campaign to alleviate the blood supply shortage caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to raise awareness about the necessity of blood donation. The campaign saw participation from tenant companies in SEMAS headquarters and 77 regional centers nationwide, contributing to the promotion of blood donation.

Starting this month, SEMAS will provide support project guidance materials translated into 13 languages for multicultural small business owners facing language barriers. It will also actively implement a barrier-free campaign to remove physical and institutional obstacles such as stairs and thresholds that cause inconvenience to people with mobility difficulties.

Additionally, SEMAS operates a "Love Sharing Bazaar" and a "Love Meal Truck" for marginalized neighbors, and annually carries out activities delivering groceries and daily necessities directly during holidays and year-end seasons.

Furthermore, SEMAS is taking the lead in solving local community issues such as natural disaster recovery, labor shortages in rural areas, and support for youth preparing for independence.

Park Seonghyo, Director of SEMAS, said, "I hope the various social contribution activities promoted by the agency will be helpful to local communities," adding, "We will continue to expand ESG management activities that can provide practical support to local communities through ongoing communication and collaboration."
