This campaign is an eco-friendly sharing initiative where employees donate clothes they no longer wear or used items to Goodwill Store to practice recycling and support the independence of people with disabilities. It started on the 3rd of last month and was conducted to allow donations of unused items while organizing homes during the seasonal change. A total of 293 people participated, donating over 13,000 items.

To encourage employee participation in the campaign, Yuhan Corporation installed collection boxes at its headquarters, central research center, Ochang factory, and branches nationwide, and made it easy to donate via courier from home. In particular, for courier donations, the company covered the shipping costs regardless of the quantity.

The donated items collected through this campaign go through product processing by employees with disabilities affiliated with Goodwill Store and are resold to customers at stores nationwide. The proceeds are used to support the independence of people with disabilities.

Since starting collaboration with Goodwill Store through a year-end bazaar in 2019, Yuhan Corporation has continuously engaged in eco-friendly activities contributing to the welfare of people with disabilities, including conducting the closet cleaning campaign again in September last year. Yuhan Corporation and Goodwill Store plan to regularize the closet cleaning campaign once a year, alternating between spring and autumn.

A Yuhan Corporation representative said, "We will continue to promote eco-friendly management linked to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), including fostering an eco-friendly culture within the company through resource circulation campaigns, as well as energy saving and improving the environmental aspects of products."
