Over its long history, Samyang Group has conducted diverse corporate social responsibility activities such as helping our neighbors, protecting the environment, contributing to the development of communities, implementing scholarship and cultural programs, and conducting academic research.
To be together with our isolated neighbors, our employees and their family members together continue diverse volunteer services such as Beautiful Bundle Sharing, Lovely Blood Donation, Lovely Housing Repair, and Lovely Briquette Delivery.
To protect the environment, since 1996, together with 10,000 people, including the students in Jeonju and their parents, we have been holding Nature-Loving Green-Heart Essay Writing/Picture Drawing Festival. The event has been acclaimed as an exemplary corporate environmental campaign.
In addition, our branches nationwide conduct environmental-protection campaigns such as One Company, One River Cleanup and One Company, One Mountain Conservation. Also, to pursue balanced corporate and agricultural development, in an alliance with Nonghyup Bank, we are conducting the One Company, One Village Sisterhood campaign in partnership with nearby villages.
The country's first private-sector scholarship foundation, Yangyoung Foundation, was established by Samyang founder Chairman Kim Yeon-su, and in 1968, Sudang Foundation was established to expand the Group's scholarship program. In particular, since 2006, Sudang Foundation, in deference to the founder's spirit of benefiting the nation by fostering industries, and of nurturing talents, has been giving out the annual Sudang Prize, a KRW100 million cash prize, to excellent achievers in the basic sciences, applied sciences, and humanities and sociology sectors.
