Hansae Co., Ltd. Donates Clothing and Funds Worth 105 Million KRW to NGO 'G Foundation'

Hanse Industrial Co., Ltd. announced on the 16th that it donated approximately 105 million KRW worth of proceeds and clothing to the international development cooperation NGO, 'G Foundation.'

The amount and clothing donated by Hanse Industrial will be delivered through G Foundation to children and youth at local children's centers and multicultural family support centers preparing for the new school semester. The donation amount will be used by students to purchase school supplies for the new semester, and the winter clothing will be distributed to help them stay warm during the cold season. At the donation ceremony held the previous day, about 1,000 pieces of children's winter clothing worth approximately 100 million KRW and 5 million KRW in cash were delivered.

The donated items and proceeds were raised through the '2023 Online Charity Auction.' The auction items were collected from November 17 to 27 last year, and with the active participation of employees, over 120 products including home appliances and daily necessities were gathered. The auction, held over three days starting December 5 last year, saw warm support from employees who learned that all proceeds would be donated, resulting in over 600 bids. The auction proceeds combined with voluntary donations collected by employees totaled 5 million KRW. The company also decided to additionally donate about 1,000 pieces of children's winter clothing.

Kim Ik-hwan, Vice Chairman of Hanse Industrial, said, “Employees voluntarily proposed this event to help local neighbors during the cold winter and to practice a culture of sharing, and I am grateful for the enthusiastic support.” He added, “Going forward, Hanse Industrial will lead ESG management activities as a company that takes the lead in social contribution activities, including coexisting with the local community.”

Meanwhile, Hanse Industrial previously donated 100,000 USD through the Korean Red Cross during the Turkey earthquake in February last year and was awarded the Honorary Grand Medal for Red Cross Members. Additionally, in January, it participated in a blood donation campaign conducted by Hanse Yes24 Group, contributing to the spread of blood donation culture.
