The salary rounding-up donation campaign has been conducted for 12 years since 2010, with cumulative donations reaching about 3.8 billion KRW, which have been used to support underprivileged groups both domestically and internationally.

Overseas, projects included providing hygiene and health kits to underprivileged groups in the Philippines and supporting IT classrooms in Georgia. Domestically, high-efficiency LED lighting replacement projects and solar power facility installations were carried out for social welfare facilities and vulnerable households.

Additionally, since last year, Hyundai Engineering & Construction has actively promoted the ‘H-Green Saving’ project, a social contribution initiative linked to acquiring carbon emission credits and improving energy efficiency. Through this, a total of 522 high-efficiency LED lights were replaced in six social welfare facilities in Seoul, and solar power generation facilities were installed in the idle spaces of two social welfare facilities.

A Hyundai Engineering & Construction official stated, “Despite the difficult times both internally and externally, the voluntary participation of employees in sharing activities shone brightly this year. We will continue to lead community returns for neighbors in need in our local communities and persistently pursue social contribution activities that address social issues such as the environment and safety.”
