The event was attended by Seongjin Jung, Head of Management Support Division at KAI, Heesoon Park, President of the Korean Red Cross Gyeongnam Chapter, and other key officials from both sides.

The Grand Honor Medal is the highest-level award given to individuals or organizations that have actively contributed to the Korean Red Cross's humanitarian efforts, including fundraising for relief projects and volunteer work.

Since 2007, KAI has continuously supported the Korean Red Cross through donations, reaching a cumulative total of 500 million won as of the end of last year.

Last year, KAI provided 200 million won to support recovery efforts in Sancheong, Gyeongnam, which suffered damage from heavy rainfall. In 2023, during the massive earthquake in Türkiye, KAI employees raised and donated 300 million won, continuing their support for domestic and international disaster recovery and aid for those affected.

The KAI Volunteer Group, made up of employees who participate voluntarily, regularly conducts service activities such as sharing homemade bread and cakes with local child welfare facilities. The group also contributes to honoring national patriots and promoting a culture of respect for veterans, including scholarship programs for descendants of Korean War veterans.

Jung stated, "It is truly an honor that the collective efforts of our employees in sharing and giving have led to the meaningful achievement of receiving the Korean Red Cross Grand Honor Medal. We will continue to fulfill our social responsibilities and further expand sincere social contribution activities that provide real support to underprivileged neighbors and the local community."
