The Community Contribution Recognition System (CSR in the Community) is a program jointly organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea National Council on Social Welfare to discover and acknowledge companies and institutions that have consistently engaged in community contribution activities through collaboration with nonprofit organizations in the local community. The corporation was recognized for its continuous fulfillment of social responsibilities as a public enterprise and its contributions to the local community, receiving the Community Contribution Recognition for two consecutive years as well as the Minister of Health and Welfare Award.

In particular, the corporation received high praise for launching the first social value brand among local public enterprises called ‘Gachi Plus＋’ through the establishment of an ESG management system, forming a community contribution cooperation network, and promoting specialized social contribution projects that contribute to improving the quality of life of local residents and revitalizing the local community.

Lee Jae-woong, President of Gumi Urban Corporation, said, “The Minister of Health and Welfare Award at this year’s ‘Community Contribution Recognition Day’ is very meaningful as it acknowledges the various community contribution activities the corporation has carried out under the social value brand ‘Gachi Plus＋.’ We will continue to thoughtfully engage in social contribution activities and expand beyond simple contributions to solving local social issues, fulfilling our social responsibilities as a public institution.”
