[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Daesun Public Interest Foundation, established by Daesun Juzo of BN Group, a local company in Busan, held the ‘17th Daesun Social Worker Awards 2022’ ceremony on the 16th.

The award ceremony, held at the BN Group conference room in Guseo-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan, was attended by Chairman Jo Seong-je of Daesun Public Interest Foundation, CEO Jo Woo-hyun of Daesun Juzo, and foundation officials, and was conducted as a non-face-to-face event to prevent COVID-19.

This year, a total of 56 social workers were selected for the Daesun Social Worker Awards: 35 from the Busan area, 15 from the Ulsan area, and 6 from the Gyeongnam area. Awardees will receive plaques along with special benefits of an overseas training program in Hokkaido, Japan, worth a total of 100 million KRW.

The Daesun Social Worker Awards is a social contribution program jointly conducted by the Daesun Public Interest Foundation and the social workers’ associations of Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam since 2007.

The Daesun Social Worker Awards were established to encourage social workers who are devoted to vulnerable groups and the public interest in the region and to contribute to providing improved welfare services.

Chairman Jo Seong-je of Daesun Public Interest Foundation said, “At this very moment, I support all social workers in Korea who are quietly working to create a happy local community,” and added, “We will continue activities that empower social workers who brighten our society.”

Daesun Public Interest Foundation is the first private public interest foundation in Busan, established in 2005 as part of ESG management by Daesun Juzo, a local company celebrating its 92nd anniversary this year, to fulfill social responsibility.

Since 2007, the foundation has selected 708 social workers from Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam and has supported them with a total of approximately 1.23 billion KRW.

In addition, it has been steadily carrying out social contribution activities in various welfare, education, and cultural fields, such as free meal services for the underprivileged in the local community and scholarships for university students majoring in social welfare.
