Gwangyang Steelworks, as a representative company of the local community, is carrying out various activities to promote seafood consumption in order to alleviate the growing concerns of local residents regarding seafood.

On the 26th of last month, ahead of the Chuseok holiday, employees of Gwangyang Steelworks visited Gwangyang 5-Day Market, the largest traditional market in the region, to purchase local seafood and encourage seafood consumption.

The business agreement ceremony was held to reaffirm the commitment to promote such local seafood purchasing activities and contribute to the revitalization of the local economy.

In particular, by signing a joint business agreement with the local fisheries cooperative, Gwangyang Steelworks, a representative company in the Gwangyang area, has taken the lead in promoting seafood consumption together with local small business owners, which is expected to demonstrate a new model of coexistence between companies and the local community.

At the ceremony, Kim Kwang-yong, Director of Yeosu Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, said, “Amid concerns about the contraction of seafood consumption and the expected damage to local small business owners, we appreciate Gwangyang Steelworks’ proactive efforts to revitalize consumption,” and added, “We hope to continue building an organic cooperative system to create a precedent of coexistence between representative local companies and the community.”

Lee Jin-su, Head of Gwangyang Steelworks, said, “This business agreement was made to prevent concerns about seafood from leading to damage to local small business owners,” and added, “We will continue to devise various measures to alleviate the difficulties faced by local small business owners.”

Meanwhile, Gwangyang Steelworks plans to continue supporting the revitalization of seafood consumption by encouraging employees to purchase local seafood and expanding special menu items using seafood in the company cafeteria.
