HMM Conducts Social Contribution Activities Supporting Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] HMM announced on the 20th that it is practicing ESG management through various social contribution activities involving its executives and employees to mark the end of the year.

From late November to early December, HMM held a donation campaign called "Areumdahum (HMM)" for its executives and employees. Over 200 items were voluntarily donated by the staff. Some of these items were sold through a bazaar. The proceeds from the sales, along with the donated items and additional donations prepared by the company, were delivered to the nonprofit public interest organization "Areumdawoon Gage" (Beautiful Store).

The female employee group within the company, "Supyeongseonhoe," recently held a social contribution program supporting vulnerable girls in collaboration with the global child rights NGO "Good Neighbors." Members of "Supyeongseonhoe" personally packed 500 boxes of feminine products to be delivered to vulnerable girls. They also added donations collected through the "Employees' Spare Change Collection" campaign to convey their heartfelt support to "Good Neighbors."

Meanwhile, HMM has been actively engaged in marine environment improvement and global social contribution activities this year.

First, to clean the marine environment, which is the operational stage of the shipping industry, HMM is conducting beach cleaning campaigns called beachcombing and recycling projects for waste PET bottles generated from ships. Additionally, HMM supports transportation for domestic NGOs sending aid supplies overseas and has expanded its one-on-one sponsorship campaign for overseas children to include domestic beneficiaries this year.

An HMM official stated, "Social contribution activities are essential prerequisites for becoming a company that fulfills its social responsibilities," adding, "We plan to continue working with local communities through various programs involving our executives and employees."
