Additionally, on the 19th, Koscom supported 12,000 briquettes to 40 low-income households in Yeongdeungpo-gu and other areas of Seoul in collaboration with the nonprofit Warm Korean Peninsula Love Briquette Sharing Movement. Some employees personally visited households to carry out briquette sharing volunteer activities while maintaining social distancing.
President Jeong Ji-seok said, "As winter approaches amid COVID-19, the cold and difficulties felt by low-income groups are expected to increase. We will steadily fulfill our corporate social responsibility, however small, so that marginalized neighbors can spend the winter warmly."
Meanwhile, the Anyang City Hall in Gyeonggi Province presented a plaque of appreciation on the 15th, stating that Koscom's active social contribution activities greatly helped overcome the crisis of marginalized groups in the local community. Koscom has established and operates a data backup center in Anyang City.
