This campaign is an expanded life sharing social contribution (ESG) program, building on existing blood donation-centered initiatives. The scope of participation has been broadened to include not only Korea Zinc employees but also affiliates and partner companies, aiming to spread a culture of life sharing based on mutual growth.

During the campaign held at the Onsan Smelter on May 18, employees participated in group blood donations, signed up as potential hematopoietic stem cell donors, and donated blood donation certificates. The company expressed its gratitude by providing local gift certificates to participating employees.

At the event, the blood donation bus donated by Korea Zinc to the Korean Red Cross in 2023 was also in operation. This bus is used to visit industrial sites and other locations to help ensure a stable blood supply and to encourage more participation in blood donation throughout the region.

Additionally, Korea Zinc's Onsan Smelter and the Ulsan Blood Center of the Korean Red Cross signed a life sharing MOU on the same day, agreeing to continue campaigns aimed at stabilizing the local blood supply and expanding the culture of blood donation in the community.

Since first participating in group blood donations in 2012, a total of 204 Korea Zinc Onsan Smelter employees have taken part in blood donation activities, contributing to the stability of the regional blood supply.

A representative from Korea Zinc's Onsan Smelter stated, "We will continue to engage in ongoing life sharing activities together with affiliates, partner companies, and various other stakeholders."
