Daesang Donates 100 Million KRW in Employee Contributions to Flood-Affected Areas

Daesang announced on the 1st that it donated 100 million KRW to the National Disaster Relief Association to support the recovery of areas recently affected by heavy rains.

Daesang raised a total of 100 million KRW by combining the payroll rounding-up donations voluntarily collected by its employees with a matching grant fund provided by the company. The donation will be used for facility restoration and support for disaster victims in the affected areas.

Earlier in July, Daesang delivered over 8,000 items including Jongga canned kimchi, cup rice noodles, cup nurungji, and sweet potato chews to the National Disaster Relief Association to support flood victims and recovery workers in Yecheon-gun, Gyeongbuk Province.

Meanwhile, Daesang signed an agreement last year with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the National Disaster Relief Association to establish an emergency disaster relief system, committing a total of 300 million KRW over three years. In the event of natural disasters such as wildfires, floods, and typhoons, as well as social disasters, Daesang promptly donates relief supplies through the National Disaster Relief Association, which, as a legally designated relief organization, distributes the donated supplies to disaster victims and others in need.

Kim Kyung-sook, Head of Daesang’s ESG Management Office, stated, “In emergency situations caused by national disasters, we aim to support disaster victims in quickly restoring their daily lives through swift and systematic assistance,” adding, “Daesang will continue to actively participate in support activities for emergency disaster relief.”
