EY Hanyoung Conducts Donation and Volunteer Activities Ahead of Seollal Holiday

EY Han Young announced on the 21st that it carried out a donation campaign through volunteer activities sharing briquettes with employees and the annual in-house campaign ‘EY Han Young Cooking Challenge’ ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

Now in its 5th year, the Cooking Challenge is a representative in-house campaign designed to allow employees to practice the value of sharing by cooking with their families at the end of the year. Employees voluntarily donated 10,000 KRW by applying for cooking boxes, and together with the matching fund from EY Han Young’s in-house social contribution network ‘Hanmaeum Nanumi,’ a total of 43.9 million KRW was raised this year.

The funds raised were donated to five organizations: Seoul Seongrowon, Youth Hope Foundation, Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, Heart-Heart Foundation, and Rafael Clinic. The donations will be used to support children, youth, and marginalized neighbors in need. Through the Cooking Challenge campaign, EY Han Young has delivered a cumulative total of more than 250 million KRW in donations since 2020.

Additionally, on the 15th, EY Han Young conducted a ‘Love Briquette Sharing’ volunteer activity with employees in the Sangdo-dong area of Dongjak-gu, Seoul. To help economically disadvantaged neighbors have a warm winter, employees personally delivered 1,000 briquettes, extending a helping hand of sharing. EY Han Young donated a total of 53,000 briquettes through the Warm Korean Peninsula Love Briquette Sharing Movement to support winter heating fuel for energy-vulnerable households.

Moreover, EY Han Young has donated funds collected by employees through Hanmaeum Nanumi to various social welfare organizations and non-profit foundations such as the Purme Foundation, Habitat Korea, Pediatric Cancer NGO Hanbit, Mapo Yera Won, and Yera Mother’s House. The employees’ donations are used for various social welfare activities including support for wheelchairs and walking aids to improve mobility for children with disabilities, renovation support for aging homes for grandparent-headed families, operation support for shelters for children with pediatric cancer and rare incurable diseases, and support for childbirth, housing, and independence for single mothers, unmarried and at-risk pregnant women.

Park Yong-geun, CEO of EY Han Young, stated, “EY Han Young’s social contribution activities aim to gather the warm hearts of employees to contribute to creating a better world,” and added, “We will continue to lead a culture of sharing for the local community and carry out activities that create sustainable social value.”
