The Korea IT Welfare Promotion Agency, a non-profit organization, operates an eco-friendly program in which it refurbishes unused PCs and IT assets donated by companies, organizations, and individuals, and then distributes them free of charge to information-vulnerable and marginalized groups.

The "Korea Zinc and Affiliates IT Sharing for Hope" donation ceremony was held in the main conference room at Korea Zinc’s headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the same day. The event was attended by Kijoon Kim, Head of the Sustainability Management Division (Vice President) at Korea Zinc, Changsoo Park, Vice President of the Korea IT Welfare Promotion Agency, Seokhyun Moon, Executive Director of Seorin Information Technology, and about 10 other key stakeholders.

On this occasion, Korea Zinc and its affiliates, Seorin Information Technology and KG Trading, collectively donated IT assets that had reached the end of their service life, including laptops, desktops, printers, monitors, servers, and other equipment previously used by employees. Instead of simply discarding these IT assets, they were recycled, which contributed to environmental protection and was highly regarded for significantly helping to bridge the digital divide faced by information-vulnerable groups in the local community.

Vice President Kijoon Kim stated, "We are grateful that this donation allows us to protect the environment while also providing at least some support to our neighbors in marginalized groups," adding, "Korea Zinc will continue, together with its affiliates, to provide various forms of support needed by vulnerable groups in the local community."
