Practicing UN SDGs and ESG Locally and Globally

Pukyong National University (President Jang Youngsoo) held an inauguration ceremony for the PKNU Student Volunteer Corps on the 16th, which carries out various volunteer activities both domestically and internationally to implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) and ESG practices.

On the 16th, Pukyong National University held the inauguration ceremony for the PKNU Student Volunteer Group.

On this day, a total of 93 student volunteers, including 60 members of the local community volunteer group "Social Contribution Volunteer Division" and 33 members of the student peace volunteer group "UN Peace Volunteer Division," officially launched their activities at the ceremony.

The Social Contribution Volunteer Division conducts a variety of volunteer activities to support vulnerable groups in the community and address local issues, including home repair services for neighbors, sorting recyclables, plogging environmental cleanups, and volunteering at animal shelters.

In addition, by collaborating with organizations such as the local Youth Recovery Center, Alloysiogiji1968, Nam-gu Office, and Seo-gu Office, they support the self-reliance of vulnerable and protected youth through mentoring and experiential activities.

The UN Peace Volunteer Division conducts peace and veterans volunteer activities, such as personally visiting surviving Korean War veterans and their families both in Korea and abroad to express gratitude for their service.

They visit the UN Memorial Cemetery near the university to lay flowers and pay respects, support various national veterans events such as Turn Toward Busan, and plan and implement UN-SDGs volunteer activities to achieve various UN values such as responding to abnormal climate, environmental protection, and poverty alleviation.

Kim Taegyu, Dean of Student Affairs, said, "I hope this will be an opportunity for students not only to grow into well-rounded individuals with a spirit of service, but also to develop the capabilities to become transnational global leaders in the future society."
