On July 21, Korea Zinc Onsan Smelting Plant announced that it has donated 20 million won via the Ulsan Community Chest of Korea to support the livelihood stability of low-income veterans' households during the peak heat season.

The support delivery ceremony, held at the Ulsan Veterans Affairs Office on July 20, was attended by Sungwoong Park, Head of the Management Support Division at Korea Zinc Onsan Smelting Plant; Ho-Young Yang, Secretary-General of the Ulsan Community Chest of Korea; and Hyun-Sook Ahn, Acting Director of the Ulsan Veterans Affairs Office. The donation will be used to help stabilize the living conditions of low-income veterans' households in Ulsan during the summer.

Korea Zinc took into account the likelihood of an earlier and prolonged heatwave this year and recognized that elderly national merit recipients and low-income veterans' families may experience difficulties in managing their health due to heat-related illnesses. This support initiative was established with these concerns in mind. In particular, the company focused on providing practical assistance so that veterans' households living in vulnerable housing environments can safely cope with the hot summer.

Korea Zinc Onsan Smelting Plant has also been consistently supporting veterans' families. In June, the company partnered with the Nammok Senior Welfare Center in Ulsan to run the "Veterans Support Package Program" for 53 war veterans and their surviving family members. The package consisted of 18 different items, including health supplements such as lutein, probiotics, and New Care, as well as daily necessities and food supplies.

Sungwoong Park, Head of the Management Support Division at Korea Zinc Onsan Smelting Plant, said, "We organized this donation to express our gratitude to national merit recipients and their families for their devotion to the country. With the heatwave expected to be prolonged and intense, we hope this support helps elderly veterans' households spend the summer in good health and safety."

Korea Zinc Onsan Smelting Plant is also expanding its social contribution activities to promote mutual growth with the local community. Recently, the company donated funds to the Ulsan Welfare Center for the Visually Impaired and signed a partnership agreement with the Suyeon Rehabilitation Center in Ulju-gun to conduct quarterly volunteer activities. In addition, Korea Zinc is expanding participatory social contribution initiatives, such as operating an online donation mall with direct employee involvement.
