Contribution activity
for the community

We have engaged in a wide range of social contribution activities based on our workplaces across the country.

Delivered 700 Million to the Fruit of Love under the "Hope 2023 Sharing Campaign”

KCC joined the “Hope 2023 Sharing Campaign” by delivering 700 million donations to the Community Chest of Korea in January 2023.

We delivered the divided amounts of donations to the branches of the Community Chest of Korea where our major workplaces are located including Ulsan, Jeonbuk, and Chungnam to fulfill corporate social responsibility so that our support could be extended to all of those in need.

The donations would be delivered and deposited again to each local government to be used in supporting the living and medical costs for the low-income households and neighbors, having suffered from economic difficulties. With the campaign, we continue to make efforts with the local governments and Community Chest of Korea so that the donations can be used effectively, thereby forming a society where people are considerate of others.

Planted 1000 Pine Trees in Goseong-gun, Gangwon

KCC conducted reforestation and conservation activities by planting 1000 trees in Goseong-gun devastated by wildfires in April 2023.

KCC has engaged in the “Supro Mirae-ro” campaign with the Korea Future Environment Association(KFEA) since 2022 for the reforestation and conservation. By planting 1000 trees this year besides the 1000 trees planted in 2022, KCC has strived to restore the forests.

KCC continues the efforts to enable Gajin-ri to restore its dense forest by planting 1000 trees every year via the campaign. With the KFEA, KCC plans to spread diverse environmental conservation campaigns regularly.

Built Shelters for Goryeo Saram women with Habitat for Humanity Korea

KCC built female shelters for Goryeo Saram having settled in Gwangju with Habitat Korea in September 2023.

This project was designed to support the stable settling of Goryeo Saram by improving their poor housing conditions. The shelters are spaces dedicated to a growing number of single Goryeo Saram women.

100 million won were used, donated in May to build the shelters and highly energy efficient KCC windows were used.

KCC celebrated the opening of the "Dream Forest, a creative space for the Heyri youth” with Paju city in June 2023. The KCC supported remodeling costs and the Paju City Youth Foundation was responsible for the project and facility operation.

Besides a space of experiencing the environment where KCC’s eco-friendly paints are used, the space provides the young adults and residents with an opportunity to experience culture via various youth club activities. Moreover, talent cultivations including fair trade activities and cultural art activities are planned together with and Heyri Art Valley.

KCC delivered 100 million won to the “Cultural art space creation for the youth in unused spaces and the town improvement” project in 2022. KCC donated 60 million won to the Foundation this year for the youth projects.

Granted the Yeonghye Scholarship to 10 Students of Korean Minjok Leadership Academy (KMLA) in Commemoration of Honorary Chairman Chung Sang-young

KCC hosted a scholarship awarding ceremony and event celebrating the dormitory improvement in the KMLA in Hoengseong-gun, Gangwon in June 2023.

KCC delivered the Younghye Scholarship certificate, a full 3-year scholarship, to 10 students. The scholarship began with 10 billion won of inheritance of the honorary chairman Chung (1936~2021) having left the will to “secure talents.” The scholarships have been used in supporting low-income family students with outstanding talent, discovering talents in various areas, and developing educational programs.

KCC replaced old beds with new ones by using some of the fund to improve the students’ living conditions. Chairman Chung Mong-jin contributed his private funds to the Seonhye Scholarship worth 3 billion won to support the KMLA.
