Now in its third year, the goods donation campaign is a charitable event jointly organized by Kwangdong Pharmaceutical and the social enterprise Goodwill Store. Employees collect a variety of reusable items from their homes, such as household goods, clothing, and electronic appliances, and donate them to Goodwill Store. More than 200 employees have participated in the campaign to date, donating approximately 10,000 items. The donated goods go through a merchandising process at Goodwill Store and are then sold, with the proceeds used to create jobs for people with disabilities.


To make participation more convenient for employees, Kwangdong Pharmaceutical enabled donations not only through on-site drop-off but also via courier delivery. In addition, employees who participate in the campaign receive tax deductions based on the value of their donated items, and are awarded online welfare points equivalent to 50% of the donation amount as an incentive to participate.


A Kwangdong Pharmaceutical representative stated, "As awareness of resource circulation continues to spread, both the number of participating employees and the amount of donated goods have increased year after year." The representative added, "We will continue to engage in activities that realize the value of public interest in partnership with the local community."



Meanwhile, Kwangdong Pharmaceutical began its partnership with Goodwill Store in 2021 through beverage donations. Goodwill Store is a nonprofit social welfare organization that operates under the slogan "Not Charity, But Opportunity," sharing the values of job creation for people with disabilities and environmental protection. Through resource recycling, the organization secures workplaces for people with disabilities and supports their financial independence.
