Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, First Selection for 'Rural ESG Practice Recognition System'
Medical Social Contribution Activities Supporting Medically Vulnerable Groups in Rural Areas
The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service (Director Park Jong-gil) was selected as the first recognized institution under the Rural ESG Practice Recognition System, jointly hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, and the Foundation for Cooperation between Large, Small and Medium Enterprises and Agriculture and Fisheries, and received a recognition plaque on the 16th.
The Rural ESG Practice Recognition System selects institutions that practice ESG management such as win-win cooperation for the sustainable development of agriculture, fisheries, and rural areas by utilizing their human and material resources. A total of 52 public institutions and private companies nationwide were selected.
Last year, the Service established a nursing hospital in Taebaek City, a medically vulnerable area, and promoted the health rights of residents by upgrading the Donghae Hospital, a directly managed hospital of the Service in Donghae City, to a general hospital. In addition, through medical social contribution activities, a visiting medical volunteer service, it contributed to resolving medical gaps in rural areas.
Furthermore, it was recognized for efforts to revitalize the rural economy through sisterhood ties between affiliated institutions and rural areas, including volunteer activities such as painting murals in fishing villages, helping with farm work in rural areas, delivering side dishes, donating goods, and collective purchasing of local specialties.
