Shinsegae Group Donates 500 Million KRW for Wildfire Relief... Also Supports Relief Supplies

Recovery of Affected Areas and Support for Disaster Victims

Shinsegae Group announced on the 25th that it will donate 500 million KRW to aid in the recovery of communities affected by the wildfires.

Along with the donation, relief supplies will also be provided. Shinsegae Group affiliates such as E-Mart and E-Mart 24 have supplied daily necessities, hygiene products, and clothing to areas in need through local governments and relief associations due to wildfire damage.

Through E-Mart, Shinsegae Group quickly delivered emergency relief supplies to wildfire-affected areas on the 23rd. In February last year, E-Mart donated 100 million KRW to the Korean Red Cross to prepare for wildfire and heavy rain damage, assembling over 1,000 emergency relief kits, of which emergency kits for 250 households (worth approximately 25 million KRW) were distributed.

If additional supply requests are made by local governments, further support will be promptly provided through nearby stores.

On the 24th, E-Mart 24, together with the Korea Disaster Relief Association, delivered relief items such as masks, beverages, and energy bars for about 600 people to Uiseong-gun in Gyeongbuk and Sancheong-gun in Gyeongnam.

A Shinsegae Group representative said, “We decided to provide recovery funds and daily necessities to offer even a small amount of support to those affected by the wildfires,” adding, “We hope this will help disaster victims and contribute to the recovery of the local communities.”
