Seoul Business Agency (SBA) announced on the 14th that it held the event 'SBA Day with Together People' at the Kensington Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul, the previous day (13th).
The event was organized to explore cooperative projects for solving social issues and realizing shared values in accordance with Seoul's 'Walking Together with the Vulnerable' initiative. Approximately 50 corporations that worked with SBA introduced their programs and presented their achievements.
The representative corporation, Pleido, introduced joint cooperation projects with SBA, including cash donations and talent contributions. Kim Hyun-woo, CEO of SBA, held a talk concert themed 'communication, cooperation, and shared growth.'
On that day, beneficiaries of the Together programs, such as iLeader and the First Living support, also participated. iLeader is a program that supports educational expenses for students with talents in arts, physical education, and academics.
Through the 'Declaration Ceremony of Together People,' SBA proposed its development direction for the next year. It plans to establish the 'SBA Representative Network Council' based on social contributions and promote networking for exports, international exchanges, public relations, public advancements, government projects, support initiatives, distribution networks, and expanding sales channels.
Last year, SBA established a Together team to implement the 'Walking Together with the Vulnerable' initiative and planned corporate participation-based social contribution projects, operating 13 programs.
This year, SBA is also operating a comprehensive support program targeting vulnerable groups. Through 'Job Together,' it helped economically empower vulnerable and marginalized groups by matching job seekers with corporations. The target groups include women, middle-aged individuals, and youth. This program involved 707 corporations and 1,375 job seekers.
'CSR Together' targets independent and socially isolated youth, hearing-impaired individuals, children, and low-income groups. Twenty-four corporations participated in CSR Together. Through 'Together Networking' (ESG management), it helped small and medium enterprises (SME) recognize the importance of social responsibility and contributions.
CEO Kim noted, 'Through this event, SBA aims to enhance its role as a leader in realizing social value and to continuously expand as a business model where public and private sectors cooperate based on a culture of donations.'
