The Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service sets up a social service fund by deducting a portion from employees' monthly salaries. The Green Steps Donation Campaign allows employees to donate their steps through a step donation platform for five weeks, and if the donated steps reach the target number, the organization donates 10 million won from the social service fund to Save the Children.

This campaign was themed "Hope Donation to Children in Grandparent-Headed Households with 335.5 Million Collected Steps." The target number of steps was set at 335.5 million steps. In particular, the campaign combined plogging activities?picking up trash while donating steps?to further practice ESG management pursued by the organization.

As a result of the company-wide campaign, 2,018 employees participated, recording a total of 353,333,948 donated steps. With the collected steps achieving 105% of the target, the donated 10 million won will be used to support the livelihood of children in low-income grandparent-headed households.

Park Jong-gil, Director of the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service, expressed his joy, saying, "Through the active and voluntary participation of employees in the donation campaign, we were able to support not only health and environmental protection but also the healthy lives of children from low-income families."

Director Park added, "We will continue to fulfill the social responsibility of a public institution through various social contribution activities that involve employees and consider the environment."
