On the 2nd, the Gyeonggi-do Social Economy Center received the Community Contribution Recognition Plaque at the ‘Gyeonggi-do Community Contribution Recognition Day’ event held in Ansan.

The Community Contribution Recognition Plaque is an award presented to companies or institutions that have established partnerships with non-profit organizations and consistently contributed to the local community. It is organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea National Council on Social Welfare. The main evaluation criteria include the systematic nature of social contribution activities, sustainability of outcomes, community cooperation, and impact.

The Gyeonggi-do Social Economy Center was selected as a recognized institution for community contribution due to its high evaluation for contributing to the development of social economy organizations and the local community through various projects.

Major projects this year include the ‘Social Performance Measurement Project’ to enhance the social value creation capacity of social economy organizations, and the ‘Social and Environmental Problem Solving Support Project’ in collaboration with large corporations, non-profit organizations, and public institutions.

Among the Social and Environmental Problem Solving Support Projects is the ‘Gyeonggi-do Reusable Cup Circulation Model Establishment Project,’ carried out in cooperation with the Gyeonggi Regional Self-Sufficiency Center, Lala Wash, and Oyster Able. The Gyeonggi Regional Self-Sufficiency Center linked jobs for vulnerable groups in reusable container cleaning, while Oyster Able laid the foundation for addressing the climate crisis and employment issues for vulnerable groups by installing 10 Lala Wash reusable cup and collection devices at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and the Gyeonggi Provincial Council.

Yoo Hoon, President of the Gyeonggi-do Social Economy Center, stated, "Being selected for the Community Contribution Recognition Program acknowledges the efforts of the Gyeonggi-do Social Economy Center toward the sustainable growth of the local community. We will continue to cooperate with social economy organizations and various stakeholders to realize social value and do our best to solve local issues."
