[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Sampyo Group announced on the 5th that it conducted a nationwide 'relay social contribution activity' involving employees from all its affiliates throughout November to celebrate its 56th anniversary.

This relay social contribution activity was held by designating November as a '30-day Warm Companionship' period in commemoration of the group's founding anniversary on December 1, supporting vulnerable groups to get through the winter.

On the 28th of last month, Sampyo Group employees volunteered to serve seaweed soup to low-income elderly residents at the Seongbuk Senior Welfare Center in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. The employees arrived early in the morning, wore aprons and gloves, and served warm seaweed soup, desserts, and rice cakes to 250 neighbors. After the serving activity, they also personally delivered kimchi made through kimjang to 104 low-income households in the Seongbuk-gu area.

Earlier, on the 2nd of last month, a barrier-free film screening was held in Naju, Jeollanam-do for people with visual and hearing impairments. Barrier-free films refer to movies enhanced with audio descriptions or subtitles to allow viewing without restrictions caused by disabilities.

On the 11th, they donated toys worth 2 million won to the Pohang City Childcare Support Center in Gyeongbuk for local infants and toddlers and conducted a volunteer activity to disinfect old toys. Additionally, on the 15th and 23rd, they delivered local specialty products worth 4 million won to low-income families through the Heungdeok District Office in Cheongju and the Samcheok General Social Welfare Center in Samcheok.

This relay social contribution activity was meaningful in that it carried out sharing activities targeting various groups in the community. Sampyo Group plans to continue discovering and strengthening social contribution programs that reflect regional characteristics, focusing on mutual growth and coexistence with local communities.

A Sampyo Group official said, "We hope this nationwide relay social contribution activity provides some support to marginalized neighbors in the region," adding, "We will continue to carry out various sharing activities that can be done together with the local community."
