CJ Olive Networks announced on the 26th that it will launch new social contribution programs in collaboration with the Happy Sharing Foundation and the Yongsan Fire Station to support local communities and marginalized groups using information technology (IT).
The volunteer activity 'Wheelchair Mobility Information Collection,' being conducted for the first time this year, and the QR-based 'Visible Fire Extinguisher' inspection volunteer activity will be operated in a way that directly contributes to solving social issues by actively utilizing employees' IT capabilities. The 'Wheelchair Mobility Information Collection' volunteer activity is an employee participatory program in collaboration with the Happy Sharing Foundation. It is a project that collects data on accessible routes for wheelchair users, disabled restrooms, ramps, and other local convenience facilities to reflect in a mobility convenience map app for the disabled.
Employees of CJ Olive Networks will directly visit nearby areas around the headquarters, Bundang office, and Songdo data center to conduct a survey and voluntarily participate in the entire process of refining and processing the collected data. It is expected to significantly help improve information accessibility for those with mobility challenges.
In addition, they are working with the Yongsan Fire Station to promote regular inspection volunteer activities for the 'Visible Fire Extinguisher.' The 'Visible Fire Extinguisher' is a publicly installed fire extinguisher placed in areas vulnerable to fire, such as traditional markets or areas densely populated with dwellings, to ensure easy identification by anyone. Currently, there are 42,979 units operating in Seoul, 1,483 of which are installed in Yongsan District.
The inspection activity for the 'Visible Fire Extinguisher' consists of employees of CJ Olive Networks receiving prior training to primarily check for damage and condition of the extinguishers installed in the area. In particular, when they scan the QR code attached to the extinguisher and input the management number, inspection results, and any issues, maintenance and repairs will be carried out by the fire station based on that information.
A representative of CJ Olive Networks noted, 'It is significant that employees voluntarily participate in activities that can provide tangible help to the community based on IT technology,' adding that 'we will continue sustainable projects for the community and marginalized groups based on IT capabilities in the future.'
