The Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Lim Chaecheong) announced on November 6 that OB Beer has donated approximately 45,000 bottles of "OB Water" to help disaster victims. The bottled water donated by OB Beer is scheduled to be provided as emergency relief to disaster victims and relief sites in the event of a disaster.

This batch of "OB Water" is natural mineral water packaged in the nation's first 100% sugarcane-based container, in which no microplastics have been detected. The label on each bottle features both the OB Beer and Hope Bridge logos, further highlighting the social contribution and commitment to sustainable management values.

Ja-Beom Koo, Senior Vice President of Legal Policy and Public Relations Division at OB Beer, stated, "We have produced the donation-only 'OB Water' in eco-friendly containers to support a sustainable environment and disaster relief," adding, "We will continue to work closely with Hope Bridge to help neighbors in need, including disaster relief efforts."

Shin Hoon, Secretary General of Hope Bridge, commented, "OB Beer has always been among the first to reach out with support whenever disasters occur," and added, "We will continue to work in solidarity with OB Beer to provide faster and more systematic support to disaster victims."

Since 2016, OB Beer has maintained a system with the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association to keep emergency relief supplies, such as bottled water, readily available for timely delivery.

To date, OB Beer has donated a cumulative total of approximately 880,000 bottles of water (based on 500ml bottles) through the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association to disaster-vulnerable groups in areas affected by earthquakes, typhoons, wildfires, and heatwaves, as well as to fire victims and COVID-19 medical staff. In September, OB Beer also provided an emergency donation of 10,000 bottles of water to the Gangneung area, which had suffered from severe drought.
