Since 2011, EcoPro has been fostering a culture of voluntary donations among its employees by collecting 1% of the salary from members who wish to donate to support neighbors in need. As of this year, the cumulative number of participants is 11,245, with total donations amounting to 823 million KRW.

The donations will be used for various support activities for marginalized groups in the Pohang area, including children from single-parent families, elderly living alone, and people with disabilities.

Earlier, EcoPro participated in the 'Hope 2025 Sharing Campaign' organized by Chungcheongbuk-do and the Chungbuk Social Welfare Community Chest. A total of 607 employees from five family companies working at the Ochang headquarters raised and delivered donations worth approximately 70 million KRW.
