On October 13, employees of Sangmidang Holdings’ affiliates visited a complex of greenhouses in Jeonwon Village, Seocho-gu, Seoul, and delivered 2,000 briquettes to households that use them. Jeonwon Village is an area without natural gas service, where some residents rely on briquettes to get through the winter. Around 70 households currently live there. Along with the volunteer activity, the employees installed a steamer for steamed buns and distributed Samlip Hoppang, a popular winter snack, to residents.

About 30 employees of Sangmidang Holdings’ affiliates took part in the activity, including Jo Yunsang, CEO of BR Korea; Yun Jin, CEO of SPC GFS; Han Sunuk, CEO of Secta9ine; and Kang Yeonjung, head of Samlip’s Food Business Unit. The briquettes donated by Sangmidang Holdings will be delivered in stages to energy-vulnerable households across Seoul, starting with Jeonwon Village.

Sangmidang Holdings has worked with Bapsang Community Briquette Bank on briquette-donation activities for energy-vulnerable households for seven years, since 2020. Including this year’s donation of 30,000 briquettes, the company has donated a total of 150,000. A Sangmidang Holdings official said, “We will continue to seek out places where the local community needs practical support and carry on our donations.”
