First, on the 16th, to celebrate the 20th anniversary, BPA labor and management officials jointly donated 10,000 briquettes through the Busan Briquette Bank to support vulnerable groups near Busan Port.

On that day, to help local neighbors in need have a warm winter, BPA President Kang Jun-seok, union members, and about 30 others carried 700 briquettes on their backs and personally delivered them to the homes of elderly residents.

On the 17th, symbolizing BPA’s 20th anniversary in 2024, a total of 40,480 rolls (2024 × 20 years) of toilet paper were delivered to vulnerable groups in various locations near the port through the BPA Hope Pantry.

The delivered toilet paper included about 2,700 rolls made from recycled materials such as shredded paper and milk cartons, produced through cooperation among BPA, the National Health Insurance Service Busan Ulsan Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, Busan Port Facility Management Center, and Dongshin Paper.

On that day, about 20 BPA employees visited 18 low-income elderly households in Yeongdo-gu, where BPA Hope Pantry Branch No. 7 is located, and personally delivered around 360 rolls of toilet paper. The remaining 40,000 rolls will be distributed to vulnerable groups through BPA Hope Pantries across the region.

BPA Union Chairman Park Shin-ho said, “Our employees spent a meaningful time sharing warm affection by visiting the homes of elderly residents directly,” adding, “We hope that the support of daily necessities has eased their difficulties even a little and warmed their hearts as well.”

BPA President Kang Jun-seok stated, “To mark the 20th anniversary, we are continuously carrying out various social contribution activities such as sharing briquettes and daily necessities to fulfill the social responsibility of a public institution,” and added, “Having grown together with local residents over the past 20 years, we will strive to discover and promote more projects that resonate with the community in the future.”
