[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Hanwha Investment & Securities employees directly made masks, T-shirts, and other comfort items and donated them to local children.

Hanwha Investment & Securities announced on the 21st that it had conducted this kind of 'non-face-to-face (untact)' social contribution from the end of last year until the 20th of this month.

The event was conducted by having employees directly produce and donate the items. Considering that face-to-face activities became difficult due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the voluntary social contribution activities previously conducted by employees were converted to a non-face-to-face format.

Hanwha Investment & Securities prepared a total of 10 programs including bookshelves, solar lanterns, masks and mask necklaces, eco bags, and T-shirts, allowing employees to choose voluntarily. About 120 employees watched production videos at home and made the selected donation items themselves. These items will be delivered to local children's centers, infant protection facilities, and overseas children.

Jongseok Han, Executive Director of the Management Support Office at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said, "Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we prepared non-face-to-face social contribution activities after considering ways to offer some comfort to children," adding, "We will establish sustainable social contribution activities even in the COVID-19 era to deliver Hanwha Group's value of 'Together Far'.
