Hanwha Social Contribution Operation Committee

Sharing love for a happier and brighter world!

The Hanwha Social Contribution Operation Committee is established and run at each of Hanwha business operations across the nation. As a body composed of employee volunteers representing each job function and position level, each committee has authority to deliberate and make decisions regarding the Bright World Fund in order to ensure the transparent execution and efficient operation of the Fund.

To encourage our employees to actively participate in our philanthropic efforts and contribute to society, each committee meets at least once every quarter. In each meeting, it reviews the social contribution activitiesof the previous quarter and deliberates on the plan of volunteer programs for the next quarter, ensuring that our social contribution activities are not overly focused on certain target groups and are carried out appropriately.

In addition, we have built a strong network among these committees to help them complement their strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to share knowledge and better-tune their social contribution efforts to meet the specific needs of their respective communities effectively and proactively.

Under our matching grant program, we donate the equivalent of 150% of the above-mentioned monthly contributions made by our employees.

Key Social Contribution Programs

After School Science Class
“Hanwha Science Class for the Future”

"Hanwha Science Class for the Future" is a program designed to help children dream big by providing them with classes on basic science, lab activities, science-related field trips, and other hands-on experiences. In this after school program, our people offer science classes to local children. In addition to this, they hold science camps, presentation contests, mobile science classes, and other special events to give local children the opportunity to share in learning with others and develop a natural interest in science. Children who participate in this program show increased enthusiasm in their school science classes and dream of becoming the scientists who will lead the future of the nation. In 2015, this program is offered in eight cities by our people working at the business operations run by Hanwha Corporation's Explosives Division, Defense Division, and Machinery Division.

Assistance Program for the Underprivileged
“Build Healthy Villages”

Through our "Build Healthy Villages" program, we have provided assistance to elderly people living alone and handicapped people in Boeun, Chungbuk Province, since 2014. With the aim of helping disadvantaged groups in every aspect of their life, this program supports their physical and mental wellbeing out of our wish to make residents of rural communities healthier. Our Explosives business in Boeun offers health checkups, meal support, prescription assistance, and friendly visiting services in its efforts to improve the health and welfare of rural communities, which often lack social infrastructure services.

Youth Guidance Program
“History and Security Field Trips”

Launched in 2014 as a community-based educational program in partnership with the Yeosu Office of Education Support and Yeosu YMCA, our "History and Security Field Trips” program offers a variety of history and security field trips to children and youth in rural areas who are often left neglected on Saturdays when they have no school. The field trips are planned around a given theme of the month and help young people, who will lead the further development of the nation, build their creativity, learn our history, and develop security awareness.

Youth Music Education Program
“Dream I Band”

Launched in 2012, our "Dream I Band" program is run by our Daejeon offices in partnership with the Child Foundation. Through this program, we provide musically gifted low-income children with musical instruments and support their band activities. Our volunteers meet with ten "Dream I Band" members, who have been selected through an audition process, on a regular basis, engaging in band practice with them and providing emotional support for them as mentors.

National Defense Awareness Program
“Hanwha and Peacemakers”

Our “Hanwha and Peacemakers” program offers a range of activities centered on peace, including "Peace Education," "One Hanwha Entity Cares for One Veteran's Gravesite,""Support for Outstanding Soldiers," and "Excavation of the Remains of Killed Soldiers."This program also provides activities to discourage bullying at school. More specifically, it offers those identified as bullies cultural events and horseback riding lessons to instill them with a sense of peace. The "Support for Outstanding Soldiers" and "Excavation of the Remains of Killed Soldiers" programs allow us to develop a high sense of nationalism and patriotism. "Excavation of the Remains of Killed Soldiers" gives us an opportunity to commemorate those who have fallen in battle, while "Support for Outstanding Soldiers" provides assistance to soldiers from low-income families, helping to boost the morale of our military.

Eco-Friendly Horticulture Centre

At our "Eco-Friendly Horticulture Center," we offer vegetable gardening activities, field trips to renowned botanical gardens, and exhibitions under the title "The Miracles of Vegetable Gardens." Designed for those with developmental disabilities who have difficulty fitting into school life and experience psychological and emotional distress, this program helps them deal with and recover from such distress, improve their self-esteem, and develop their social skills.
