HJ Heavy Industries organized an event where employees voluntarily raised funds and packed 1,000 gift sets of daily necessities to share warmth with marginalized neighbors in the community.

The event was attended by local leaders, including Cho Seunghwan, National Assembly member for Yeongdo-gu; Ahn Seongmin, Chairman of the Busan Metropolitan Council; Kim Kijae, Mayor of Yeongdo-gu; Park Youngmi, Head of the Democratic Party of Korea's Jung-Yeongdo District Committee; Choi Chanhoon, Chairman of the Yeongdo-gu Council; and Lee Sutae, Chairman of the Busan Community Chest of Korea. Around 200 executives and employees, including Yoo Sangcheol, CEO of HJ Heavy Industries, and Kim Hadong, Chairman of the labor union, participated and spent meaningful time sharing warmth with those in need.

The gift packages packed by the participants were filled with essential daily items such as rice, doenjang, soy sauce, cooking oil, ramen, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, detergent, and rubber gloves.

The prepared gift packages were delivered to 1,000 low-income households in welfare blind spots, including elderly people living alone and child-headed households, through the Yeongdo-gu Office and seven local social welfare centers in Yeongdo.

Yoo Sangcheol, CEO of HJ Heavy Industries, stated, "Our employees raised funds and carefully prepared these gift packages to look after and share warmth with our marginalized neighbors. We will continue to strive to care for those in need around us and to grow together with the local community."

HJ Heavy Industries is actively engaged in social contribution activities to practice human-centered sharing management, including the "Love Account No. 1" campaign, which is part of its employee fundraising activities, the construction of welfare centers for people with disabilities, scholarship programs, volunteer work, talent donation, and support for cultural projects.

For over 30 years, employees have continued various community-focused social contribution activities such as donations, briquette deliveries, free meal support, kimchi sharing, providing blankets during the cold season, and gift package sharing. Last year, the company was recognized as a "The Best Good Workplace" by the Community Chest of Korea.

An HJ Heavy Industries representative stated, "We plan to continue a variety of sharing activities to become a model company that cares for marginalized and socially vulnerable groups as a corporate citizen."
