Full-Scale Launch of Group-Wide Social Contribution Activities

Hankook & Company Group officially launched its integrated ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) brand, "Driving Forward, Together," and announced on October 14 that it will begin full-scale, group-wide integrated social contribution activities.

Cho Hyunbum, Chairman of Hankook & Company Group, has consistently stated, "A company that grows together with society is truly a sustainable enterprise," emphasizing, "Our ESG philosophy goes beyond simple donations or support; it is about creating a society where everyone moves forward, grows, and shares together."

The group explained that Chairman Cho's management philosophy is reflected in the integrated ESG brand. In fact, the integrated ESG brand's BI (Brand Identity) symbolizes growth potential and positive values.

Hankook & Company Group has carried out various social contribution activities for the socially disadvantaged. One of the most notable initiatives is its vehicle donation program. Since launching this program in 2008, Hankook & Company Group has delivered a total of 642 vehicles (worth approximately 20 billion won) to underprivileged individuals and welfare facilities.

Additionally, the group is promoting a battery support program for electric mobility aids for people with disabilities and the elderly, contributing to the guarantee of mobility rights.

In particular, in line with Chairman Cho's philosophy of "coexistence," Hankook Donggureumi Partners, established in 2015, has been leading the way in the social integration of people with disabilities through sports by hosting national disabled badminton tournaments in cooperation with the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities and the Korea Disabled Badminton Association.
