Mastern Investment Management Successfully Concludes 'Goods Donation Campaign' After Five Years

Proceeds Support People with Developmental Disabilities

Mastern Investment Management announced on Nov. 4 that it had successfully concluded its “Together in Giving: Goods Donation Campaign Season 5,” with employees taking part.

According to Mastern Investment Management, this year’s campaign came to a close when Goodwill Store collected the donated items gathered at the company the previous day.

During the campaign, employees donated a variety of items, including clothing, miscellaneous goods, small appliances and household goods, using collection boxes and donation bags placed around the company. Employees who wrote the types and quantities of their donated items on the bags and registered them using a QR code were also eligible for year-end tax credits.

The collected items are resold at Goodwill Store outlets, with the proceeds used to create jobs for people with developmental disabilities and support their independence. Goodwill Store is a vocational rehabilitation facility for people with disabilities operated by the Milal Welfare Foundation. It directly employs people with developmental disabilities using proceeds from the sale of donated goods.

The campaign was organized by the Center for Positive Impact, which operates under the Social Contribution Task Force. Launched in April, the task force is a company-wide organization headed by CEO Park Hyungseok and manages the company’s social contribution efforts as a strategic system linked to its core business. The Center for Positive Impact oversees the planning and implementation of social impact activities, ranging from employee-participation giving programs to industry-academia collaboration and community engagement.

Since launching in 2022, Mastern Investment Management’s goods donation campaign has been held every year without interruption and has become a regular social contribution activity involving employees each year.

“If our core business is to increase the value of assets, this campaign, which gives new value to items that have served their purpose, puts that philosophy into practice in everyday life,” CEO Park Hyungseok said. “We will continue to broaden the reach of our positive influence so that the participation of each and every employee can lead to social value.”
