POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks launched the Talent Volunteer Corps in 2014 with the aim of leveraging the knowledge, skills, and experience of its employees to provide diverse support to the local community, thereby spreading happiness to neighbors.

Over the past 12 years, the volunteer corps has expanded its scale, and now 48 teams are active in various fields such as medical care, beauty and grooming, improvement of living environments, environmental protection, and production of daily necessities.

At this inauguration event, a brief lecture was delivered on the theme of 'The Role of Volunteer Leaders' to help deliver more effective volunteer services to the community, in line with the corps' broad engagement in local volunteer activities. In addition, the direction for joint volunteer activities in 2025 was explained.
