Song Hajung, Chairman of Sahakyeongeum, stated, “This award is the result of the joint efforts of all Sahakyeongeum executives and employees for co-growth with the local community,” and expressed his aspiration, “We will continue to expand social contribution activities based on ESG management and fulfill our social responsibility as a public institution.”

This award is an achievement born from Sahakyeongeum’s sincere efforts toward ESG management practice and co-growth with the local community, and various social contribution activities for the development of the local community are expected to continue in the future.
