That day, Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province also signed a business agreement with the Yongin Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea to encourage greater corporate participation in donations.


The event was attended by Mayor Lee, Yongin Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Lee Taeyeol, Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea Chairman Kwon Inuk, and representatives of 18 ESG-sharing companies. ESG-sharing companies practice management that takes environmental, social and governance factors into account and donate at least KRW 10 million a year through the Community Chest of Korea.


Under the agreement, Yongin City will take part in donation ceremonies and donor recognition initiatives to support local companies’ charitable activities.



Mayor Lee said, “As the saying goes, ‘Sharing is a sustainable force.’ Thanks to all of you for sharing with neighbors in need, Yongin has been able to become a warmer community. The token of our gratitude may seem modest compared with the significance of your efforts, but I hope you will cherish the meaning behind these sharing plaques.”
