Korea Zinc announced on the 6th that on September 30, more than 30 employees from the Onsan Smelter and officials from Ulsan City visited the Suyeon Rehabilitation Center in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, a facility for the care and rehabilitation of children with severe disabilities, and participated in an environmental cleanup volunteer activity.

This initiative is part of the "One Company, One Facility Warmth-Sharing Public-Private Volunteer Agreement with Welfare Facilities for People with Disabilities," which was signed with Ulsan City in March last year. Since the agreement, Onsan Smelter has been visiting Suyeon Rehabilitation Center regularly to continue volunteer work on a quarterly basis.

This latest activity involved more than 30 participants, including both labor and management members of the Onsan Smelter and staff from Ulsan City's Department of Culture and Arts. The volunteers cleaned and organized electric fans used during the summer, as well as cleaned window frames and common areas throughout the facility to help improve the environment.

Going forward, Korea Zinc plans to strengthen cooperation with local welfare facilities through regular quarterly volunteering and customized support for each facility.

An official from Korea Zinc Onsan Smelter said, "It is meaningful for both labor and management at Korea Zinc, together with Ulsan City, to help improve the environment at Suyeon Rehabilitation Center. We will continue to listen carefully to the needs of local welfare facilities and meticulously address what is required on-site to fulfill our social responsibility."

Meanwhile, Korea Zinc Onsan Smelter is conducting various community-focused social contribution activities, such as adopting the Ulju-gun companion beach, organizing blood donation drives to address the regional blood supply shortage, and donating white rice to the Ulju Senior Welfare Center. The smelter has also been selected as a "recognized company" for three consecutive years under the "Regional Community Contribution Certification System," which is jointly hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea National Council on Social Welfare.
