Since 2010, POSCO Group has been conducting the special volunteer activity week called 'Global Model Citizen Week' every year. This year, about 600 employees from five regional business sites nationwide, including Pohang, Gwangyang, Sejong, Gumi, and Seoul, are participating in activities such as environmental cleanup, helping with farm work, donating children's books, and sharing bread of love.


The theme of this year's Global Model Citizen Week, held from the 9th to the 16th, is 'On-go-ji-shin (溫故知新), For a Better World 2.0.' It signifies inheriting and further developing a beautiful culture of sharing.


Employees working in Gwangyang visited Se-seung Village in Gwangyang on the 9th to support the harvest of plums at farms suffering from labor shortages. On the same day, employees in Sejong also donated various books for children in Jeonui Village and conducted environmental cleanup activities near business sites such as Jeonui Station on the Gyeongbu Line.


On the 13th, environmental cleanup activities were carried out along rivers and roadsides near the business site in the Gumi area, and employees in Seoul volunteered to make bread to be delivered to welfare facilities.


Then, on the 15th, about 250 employees in the Pohang area collected marine debris at Cheongnim Beach in Pohang and conducted environmental cleanup activities to create a clean and pleasant tourist site along the Oeosa Dullegil trail in Pohang. On the same day, employees working at the Seoul office plan to visit nearby parks such as Tancheon to carry out environmental cleanup activities.



POSCO Future M operates a 'Food Charging Station' near its business sites to provide daily necessities and food supplies to elderly living alone and basic livelihood security recipients. In May last year, it signed a 'Youth Self-Reliance Support Business Agreement' with Pohang Sunrin Childcare Center and Jeonnam Child Independence Support Institutions to provide employment education programs for youth who have aged out of protection.
