Support for '2023 815 Run' Helping Independence Activists' Descendants and Beneficiaries

Social Contribution Activities to Improve Housing Conditions for Descendants of Independence Patriots

Daesang announced on the 11th that it will sponsor the ‘2023 815 Run,’ held to support the descendants of independence activists in commemoration of the 78th Liberation Day.

The 815 Run is a charity marathon organized since 2020 by the housing welfare nonprofit Korea Habitat and singer Sean. Individual participants and sponsoring companies of the 815 Run reflect on the meaning of Liberation Day, which marks the country’s return to the light, and express gratitude to the independence activists who protected our present, delivering a positive message: “It will be all right, Republic of Korea!”

In this marathon, Daesang will donate sponsorship funds embodying the spirit of the 815 Run and provide participants with snacks of Cheongjeongwon’s ‘Chueun Real Sweet Potato Chew.’ The funds raised from individual entry fees and corporate donations for the 815 Run will be fully used for improving the housing conditions of the descendants of independence activists.

Daesang decided to sponsor this event to remember the dedication and sacrifice of independence activists and to offer 815 Run participants an opportunity to join in social interest and support for the descendants of independence activists.

Kim Kyung-sook, Head of Daesang’s ESG Management Office, stated, “Daesang developed the first domestically produced seasoning in 1956 with purely domestic capital and technology, pushing out Japanese seasonings that dominated our tables at the time and achieving ‘independence of taste.’ It is especially meaningful to support the 815 Run, which honors the spirit of independence activists who called for Korea’s independence, and to practice Daesang’s ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) management.”
