This initiative focused on delivering both cool comfort and warm care to local seniors during the hot summer season.

This volunteer activity was made even more meaningful as it was funded by the POSCO 1% Sharing Foundation, which operates through donations from employees of POSCO Group and its partner companies, along with a company matching grant.

In particular, the event was held in collaboration with Pohang Briquette Bank under the theme "Creating a World Filled with Cool Breezes and Warmth."

On this day, Pohang Steelworks employees worked in teams of two, putting in great effort. They personally assembled electric fans, which are essential for seniors, and kindly explained how to use them.

They also delivered water and daily necessities, engaging in warm conversations to bring companionship and comfort to the seniors' daily lives.

One participating employee shared, "As a donor to the POSCO 1% Sharing Foundation, this was my first time taking part in volunteer work myself, and I feel very proud. Although we are all citizens of Pohang, it was meaningful to visit seniors in nearby neighborhoods and have heartfelt conversations with them."

Yoo Hobum, head of Pohang Briquette Bank, said, "I am happy that through this volunteer activity, we were able to give the gift of a cool summer to seniors living alone in the Pohang area."

Including this event, POSCO Pohang Steelworks plans to carry out a total of 11 volunteer projects this year in cooperation with the POSCO 1% Sharing Foundation.
