Since 2018, Korea Zinc has donated between 60 million and 80 million won annually to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation. These funds have been used to purchase books that children at local children's centers in Ulsan want to read.

Since last year, Korea Zinc has been providing annual support of about 80 million won for local cultural and historical experience programs and career exploration programs for approximately 80 children with migrant backgrounds in Ulsan.

The Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation uses the donations to conduct more than six cultural and career exploration programs each year for children with migrant backgrounds. In the first session, held at the end of last month, participants visited the Ulsan Onggi Museum and explored the history and tradition of Ulsan's Onggi culture. In June, in recognition of Patriots and Veterans Month, the children will learn about Ulsan's independence activists.

In addition, programs covering topics such as climate change and carbon neutrality, traditional woodworking, amusement parks, figures and history of the Silla era, and the history of Ulsan will be held through mid-October. Afterwards, a results-sharing event is scheduled for November.

A representative from Korea Zinc stated, "We hope that children with migrant backgrounds in the Ulsan area will be able to settle and grow as members of our society through cultural and career exploration programs," adding, "Korea Zinc Onsan Refinery will continue to carry out a variety of social contribution activities for children with migrant backgrounds as well as for children in the local community."
