According to Korea Zinc on June 26, about 100 people attended the donation ceremony and kimchi-sharing event held that day at the Ulsan branch of the Korean Red Cross. Attendees included Cheongok Kim, Chairman of the Ulsan branch of the Korean Red Cross; Jongil Yoon, General Affairs Team Leader of Onsan Refinery at Korea Zinc; Hyungryul Jeon, Secretary General of the Korea Zinc Labor Union; as well as company employees and Red Cross volunteers.

The donation from Korea Zinc will be used for welfare programs for vulnerable groups in the Ulsan area, including emergency support for families in crisis, safety education for children and teenagers, senior citizen parties in Ulju County, dementia prevention kits for the elderly living alone, and the "Summer Kimchi of Love Sharing" initiative.

Following the donation ceremony, the kimchi-sharing event saw labor and management, together with Red Cross volunteers, participate in the entire process, from transporting ingredients and seasoning the cabbage to packaging. A total of 8,100 kilograms of kimchi was made. The finished kimchi was delivered to around 800 vulnerable households and social welfare facilities in the Ulsan region.

This event was organized to support the summer dietary needs of vulnerable groups who are in the welfare blind spots. Korea Zinc Onsan Refinery continues to engage in community-based social contribution activities, including donating kimchi twice a year—during both winter and summer—to vulnerable groups in Ulju County, where the plant is located, as well as in the broader Ulsan area.

An official from Korea Zinc Onsan Refinery stated, "We hope the kimchi, prepared with care by our employees and Red Cross volunteers, will help our neighbors in the community have a healthy summer," adding, "We will continue to engage in various sharing activities in cooperation with labor and management to foster mutual growth with the local community."

Meanwhile, Korea Zinc Onsan Refinery has continued its social contribution efforts to improve public health and welfare in the community, including donating a blood transport vehicle to the Ulsan Blood Center of the Korean Red Cross in 2023 and participating this year in an integrated life-sharing campaign involving blood donation, registration for hematopoietic stem cell donation, and blood donation certificate contributions.
