Koscom, a subsidiary of Korea Exchange (KRX), said on the 17th that it held a "second-half employee shopping event" from the 5th to the 7th to reinvigorate traditional markets and support small business owners.
Koscom said it organized the event to go beyond simple donations and practice "sharing through consumption," simultaneously realizing two social values: boosting sales at traditional markets and supporting vulnerable groups.
For this event, about 240 Koscom employees visited traditional markets in person to shop and talk with merchants. Since forming a sisterhood relationship with Yeongdeungpo Uri Market in 2018, Koscom has continued various win-win programs, including improving the market environment, purchasing goods, and support activities.
Koscom President Yoon Chang-hyeon said, "We will continue to deliver practical help through various social contribution activities with the local community and steadily spread the value of mutual growth."
