This year, a winter warmth kit consisting of electric blankets, thermos bottles, and nutritional porridge was created to help vulnerable elderly in Namdaemun get through the winter. KOTRA employees practiced walking in their daily lives for one month starting last month through a mobile application, recording about 50 million steps, more than twice the campaign goal of 20 million steps. Through this walking donation, employees took care of their health while reducing carbon emissions, and furthermore, the promised fund of 4.31 million KRW upon achieving the goal was donated to support winter protection supplies for the elderly.
