World Vision Donations Surpass $100 Million

Youngone Group is accelerating the realization of sustainable corporate value through a variety of social contribution activities and the implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management. Under the management philosophy of "Respect and Diligence" and "Continuous Renewal" championed by founder and Chairman Sung Ki-Hak, Youngone Group continues its journey as a responsible global corporation.


According to Youngone Group on June 1, the company has maintained a partnership with the global relief and development NGO, World Vision, for more than 30 years. Recently, Youngone Group surpassed a cumulative donation of 100 million dollars to World Vision, becoming the first company to be honored on the World Vision "Global Philanthropy Wall." Since the collaboration began in 1993, the group has supported more than 1 million people from vulnerable groups and disaster-affected communities across over 20 countries worldwide. Youngone Group has also consistently engaged in relief efforts for global disasters, including the Haiti earthquake, the Ukrainian refugee crisis, and the major flood in Bangladesh.

The company is also steadily expanding social contribution initiatives involving both employees and local communities. Through the annual "Youngone Donation Day," employees voluntarily participate in fostering a culture of giving, while the group continues a variety of sharing activities such as donating clothing and daily necessities, supporting vulnerable groups, and sponsoring stray animals.


Family-friendly management has also become a core ESG strategy for the group. Last year, both Youngone Corporation and Youngone Holdings were selected as family-friendly certified companies, working to create a culture that enables a balance between work and family life. The group is recognized for increasing employee satisfaction through practical welfare policies, including childcare allowances, flexible working hours, transportation support for pregnant employees, congratulatory funds and gifts for children's school admissions, and more.


Youngone Group is also strengthening its commitment to sustainable management in the environmental sector. The group participates in global environmental campaigns such as "Earth Hour" and implements energy-saving initiatives including a vehicle rotation system, turning off lights during lunch breaks and in non-work areas, reducing heating and cooling hours, and cutting standby power after work. In addition, Youngone Group is working to build an eco-friendly management system by expanding solar power facilities at overseas production sites.



A Youngone Group representative stated, "We continue our sustainable social contribution activities under the philosophy that a company's growth is more meaningful when it happens together with society," adding, "We will continue to establish ourselves as a company that fulfills its social responsibilities by expanding ESG management and promoting a family-friendly culture."
