Since 2020, Ecopro has been carrying out the Mother Box support project mainly in regions where its business sites are located, such as Gyeongsangbuk-do and Chungcheongbuk-do, to alleviate the burden of childbirth and childcare for low-income families. On the 2nd of last month, 110 sets of Mother Boxes were also delivered in Pohang. To date, a total of 850 Mother Boxes have been distributed to local communities, amounting to 200 million KRW in value.

Ecopro explained that the support project for childbirth families in the regions where its business sites are located reflects the will of founder Dongchae Lee. At an executive meeting in 2020, Founder Lee stated, "Low birth rates are a bigger problem in local areas than in Seoul and the metropolitan area because regional extinction due to low birth rates is accelerating," and added, "As a company operating in the region, shouldn’t we take some responsible role? If the birth rate increases, the regions where our business sites are located will become better places to live, and we can feel pride as a representative local company." He personally proposed the childcare product support project.

Hojoon Song, CEO of Ecopro, said, "We prepared childcare products to celebrate healthy childbirth in our local families and to support the challenging task of childcare. We hope this support helps children grow up bright and healthy."
