HK Innoen announced on the 10th that it held a scholarship award ceremony on the 9th at the Community Chest of Korea (Sarangui Yeolmae) Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul, and donated 50 million KRW in scholarships to the Community Chest of Korea (Sarangui Yeolmae). The donated scholarships will be used to support the education of children struggling with pediatric obesity. The ceremony was attended by HK Innoen CEO Kwak Dal-won, Sarangui Yeolmae Secretary General Hwang In-sik, and other officials.

From June 19 for one month, HK Innoen conducted the step donation campaign Georeumen Innoen Season 4 in collaboration with the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity and Sarangui Yeolmae. This campaign was planned under the slogan 'Lighten Korea' to create social consensus that 'obesity is a disease that requires treatment' and to spread correct and healthy walking habits among participants.

A total of about 15,000 people, including HK Innoen employees and the general public, participated in Georeumen Innoen Season 4. The campaign achieved a total of 750 million steps, exceeding the target of 500 million steps by 150%. This has the carbon reduction effect equivalent to planting up to 16,000 pine trees.

HK Innoen CEO Kwak Dal-won said, "Georeumen Innoen has established itself as a representative social contribution program of our company in that anyone can easily practice environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in daily life through walking," adding, "We will continue to fulfill our corporate social responsibility through various activities supporting the future of children and adolescents, including Georeumen Innoen."

Through this donation, HK Innoen became the 378th member of Sarangui Yeolmae Sharing Distinguished Companies, a group of high-value donors from medium and small enterprises.

Meanwhile, HK Innoen is conducting various activities to support children and adolescents. In May, it signed a business agreement with Cheongju City for 'Dream Start' and delivered sponsorship funds to support the education of vulnerable children and adolescents in the Cheongju area. It also participated in the Korean Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association's 'Family Month Support Campaign,' donating products such as cosmetics to pediatric cancer patients and their families.
