[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyoon] Hyundai Heavy Industries employees transformed into one-day Santas, bringing happiness to children from low-income families in Dong-gu, Ulsan.

On the 15th, the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group 1% Sharing Foundation held the "Green Umbrella Santa Expedition with Hyundai Heavy Industries" event at the Ulsan Hwajeong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center.

At the event, about 10 Hyundai Heavy Industries employees participating in the 1% salary sharing program surprised everyone by dressing as Santas and helped prepare gifts for the children.

They packed gift packages worth approximately 15 million KRW, including backpacks and school supplies for 120 children to use in the new semester, and personally visited six welfare facilities, including the Dong-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, to deliver the gifts, actively participating in the entire volunteer process, adding significance to the event.

A Hyundai Heavy Industries official said, "Hyundai Heavy Industries employees willingly became Santas, thinking of the children who would be happy to receive Christmas presents. We hope the children grow up healthy and strong, undeterred by their home environments," adding, "Hyundai Heavy Industries will continue to share the joy of giving with the local community through various social contribution activities."

Meanwhile, this event was conducted as part of the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group 1% Sharing Foundation donor proposal project. It resumed after four years since 2018 due to COVID-19.
