Support for 10 Vehicles Next Year as Well

The Daegu Community Chest of Korea received nine eco-friendly LPG vehicles worth 315 million KRW from the SL Seobong Foundation at the ‘SL’ Jinryang factory on the afternoon of the 29th. The event was attended by Lee Chung-gon, Chairman of SL, Kim Su-hak, Chairman of the Daegu Community Chest of Korea, and representatives and officials from nine social welfare organizations in the Daegu area.

A ceremony is being held for the donation of 9 eco-friendly vehicles by the SL Seobong Foundation to the Daegu Community Chest.

Established in 2006 with a personal donation of 30 billion KRW from Chairman Lee Chung-gon, the SL Seobong Foundation has been conducting various social contribution projects related to vulnerable groups and welfare facilities over the past 17 years. These include scholarship programs for nurturing talents in science and engineering fields, emergency support projects for low-income families, and support for toy libraries.

Additionally, the foundation supports the purchase of transportation means and safe operation to enable effective welfare service delivery by social welfare organizations in the Daegu region. Through this support, nine eco-friendly LPG vehicles were provided to nine social welfare organizations serving youth, the elderly, and other sectors, making it easier for welfare recipients to secure transportation rights.

The SL Seobong Foundation announced plans to support an additional 10 eco-friendly vehicles, including electric cars, next year, continuing its commitment to ESG management support projects.

Chairman Lee Chung-gon conveyed a message of sharing, stating, “SL will continue to be a leading local company that promotes ESG management and regional development, and we will not cease our efforts to work together with the local community.”

Kim Su-hak, Chairman of the Daegu Community Chest of Korea, expressed gratitude for the valuable donation from the SL Seobong Foundation, which will serve as the “two feet” for social welfare organizations, and said, “I hope more warm local companies will continuously practice sharing like this.”
