SG, a company specializing in asphalt concrete, took part for the first time in a kimchi-making festival held in Seohae-gu, Incheon, where it carried out a sharing initiative for vulnerable local residents.

SG said on November 12 that nine of its employees took part in the 3rd Seoronanum Kimjang Grand Festival, held on November 11 at the south plaza of Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, and made 50 boxes of kimchi, weighing 400 kilograms in total.

The event, hosted by Seohae-gu Office and organized by the Seohae-gu Volunteer Center and the Seohae-gu Welfare Foundation, drew about 1,000 participants, including companies, institutions, organizations from 16 neighborhoods, and residents.

For corporate social contributions, 19 companies and institutions, including SG, raised 80 million won in donations and prepared 2,052 boxes of kimchi. This was about 10% more than the 1,870 boxes prepared last year. Of the participating companies and institutions, 17 operated booths at the event and made kimchi themselves, while the other two contributed through donations.

The kimchi made that day will be distributed to vulnerable residents in the area through administrative welfare centers in Seohae-gu's 16 neighborhoods and social welfare organizations.

An SG official said, "We took part because we could make winter food ourselves and deliver it to neighbors in the area where our company is based. As a company operating in the community, we will continue to do what we can."
