Ace Bed held a donation ceremony that day in Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul, and donated 100 million won to the Babsang Community Briquette Bank, a social welfare corporation. The donation will be used to purchase 100,000 briquettes to support energy-vulnerable households.

After the ceremony, more than 50 people, including Ace Bed executives and employees, actor Park Bogum, and science communicator Gwedo, took part in a briquette delivery volunteer event in Sanggye-dong. Participants delivered briquettes directly to households. Park Bogum and Gwedo added meaning to the effort by taking part for the second consecutive year, following last year.

Ace Bed's briquette-sharing volunteer program is now in its fourth year. It began in 2023 after CEO Ahn Sung-ho proposed, "We should put the value of mutual support into practice, especially in difficult times." Employees and dealership owners formed a volunteer group and have continued to donate briquettes and deliver them each year. The total number of briquettes donated has exceeded 440,000.

Ace Bed has carried out a range of social contribution activities. Last year, it donated 500 million won to support recovery from wildfires in North Gyeongsang Province and, in cooperation with local dealerships, provided residents affected by the fires with 150 million won in support toward bed purchases over approximately one year. It has donated a cumulative 1.5 billion won to improve the working conditions of firefighters dedicated to public safety. Through the Ace Gyeongam Foundation, it has donated white rice to vulnerable groups during major holidays every year since 1999. Its cumulative donations through this year's Chuseok holiday totaled approximately 4.44 billion won.

An Ace Bed official said, "This year, we once again joined our employees in a briquette-sharing volunteer event to bring warmth to neighbors who struggle with heating costs in winter. We will continue our sharing efforts to provide practical support to local communities and fulfill our corporate social responsibility."
