Major Activities
Residential Environment Improvement Project for the Socially Vulnerable Class with Habitat for Humanity Korea
We have signed a sponsorship agreement with Habitat for Humanity Korea to contribute to the improvement of the living environment for the socially disadvantaged. By donating flooring and interior building materials to the mobile home project of Habitat for Humanity, home repair project for descendants of persons of distinguished service to independence, customized housing project, etc., we strive to create a more pleasant environment for the beneficiaries.
Saeddeul Maeul Project
We joined the “Saeddeul Maeul Project” organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Presidential Committee for Balanced National Development to support low income families. The project is a state funded project for improvement of quality of lives of people living in slums, in terms of safety, sanitation, living infrastructure and welfare. To support the project, KCC GLASS donated various building and glass materials for housing repair. For 2020, 127 old houses in Jeonju, Seochun, Jingu (Busan), Youngju (Gyeongbuk), Cheongyang (Chungnam), and Pyeongtaek were selected for the improvement project.
Collaboration with Universities and Research Institutes
As an industry academia cooperation project for technological development and nurturing of professional manpower in the glass field, we are participating in the Functional Ceramic Material R&D Expert Nurturing Project of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. KCC GLASS also supports the growth and employment of industrial innovation talents at Korea Aerospace University with Korea Optical Communication Co., Ltd. and KCC Co., Ltd.
Environmental Disease Prevention Project for the Socially Vulnerable
We are participating in an environmental improvement project organized by the Ministry of Environment, in which we diagnose and consult harmful elements in the indoor living space to help prevent environmental diseases for the socially vulnerable. We are donating eco-friendly flooring materials certified by the Ministry of Environment in efforts to create a cleaner and safer space for the affected class.
Love House of Hope Residential Environment Improvement Project’
As a part of the house repair project, we are working with the Love House of Hope Corporation to improve the living environment of the underprivileged. KCC GLASS provides eco-friendly flooring and film; the donated products are used to repair more than two local children's centers or daycare centers every month. Currently, it is difficult to conduct face to face volunteer work due to the spread of COVID-19, but the HomeCC Volunteer Group plans to directly participate in the house repair work as soon as the situation is alleviated.
Delivering the Fruit of Love Donation to Neighbors
KCC GLASS donated a total of KRW 150 million to the Community Chest of Korea to promote a culture of sharing and strengthen ties with local communities. We divided the donation between Yeoju, Asan, Gapyeong, and Yeongwol, where our major business sites are located, to ensure even distribution of support. The local governments in each region used donated funds as living expenses and medical expenses for low income families and neighbors in financial difficulties
Activity of the HomeCC Volunteer Group
The first activity of the HomeCC Volunteer Group, an employee volunteer group of KCC GLASS, was a non-face-to-face activity called DIY Moss Frame. We delivered Scandia Moss frames that our employees made by hand to local children's centers. Scandia Moss is produced by applying an eco-friendly technology to a natural moss that grows in the high mountains of northern Europe. When installed indoors, it has the effect of controlling indoor humidity and purifying the air and its unique fiber structure acts as a natural hygrometer for dehumidification and humidification.
