Koscom said on the 26th that it is actively carrying out daily life-focused social contribution activities for vulnerable groups centered on Yeongdeungpo-gu in Seoul, where its headquarters is located, and the Anyang and Busan areas. The goal is to carry out active efforts that can sustain consolidation with the local community and provide practical support where help is needed.
Since 2016, Koscom has continued to donate to Anyang, where Koscom's business sites are located. This year as well, it delivered donations to Anyang through the "Hope Dream Project" and provided cooling blanket sets to 110 low-income residents. In addition, ahead of the upcoming Chuseok holiday, it plans to provide Chuseok gifts to about 200 low-income vulnerable residents in Anyang.
Koscom has also steadily continued the "Busan Dong-gu Hope Dream Project" with the Busan Dong-gu Volunteer Center since 2022. It set up laundromats at two community centers in Dong-gu and supported free use by 1,500 vulnerable residents in the district, including multicultural families, North Korean defectors, and seniors.
In 2022, together with the International Peace Memorial Association, it also held a kimchi-making and sharing event at the United Nations Peace Memorial Hall in Nam-gu, Busan, for a total of 250 households of national merit awardees and veterans' families residing in Busan.
It is also continuing tailored and sustained social contributions in Yeongdeungpo-gu. In August this year, in partnership with the Yeongdeungpo-gu Volunteer Center, it provided four-seater strollers to 10 private daycare centers located in alleys and along main roads. In addition, every May, Koscom, in collaboration with the Yeongdeungpo-gu Council on Social Welfare, has been providing nourishing meals such as samgyetang and galbitang to seniors living alone.
In addition, since 2019, Koscom has sponsored the "Pink Box of Hope" campaign with the Korean Red Cross. It is a program that provides sanitary pads, hand sanitizer, and health and hygiene supplies to teenagers who have difficulty obtaining hygiene products due to financial constraints. The cumulative number of beneficiaries has exceeded 850.
It is also working to bridge the digital divide by providing PCs and audiovisual teaching aids to community child centers, and it is fostering employees' sense of social responsibility by including a social contribution program in the new employee orientation process.
Kim Do-yeon, head of Koscom's Corporate Strategy Division, said, "Koscom's social contribution goes beyond simple support to become a reliable partner to the local community, spreading a win-win structure that helps vulnerable groups," and added, "Going forward, Koscom will practice ESG management and always stand by everyone so they can live without losing hope."
