Korea-Germany Donates KRW 80 million worth of medicines and donations to wildfire-affected areas



Handok donated a total of 80 million won worth of medicines, health functional foods and donations to help victims and communities in Gyeongsang Province affected by large-scale forest fires.

The donation, which was raised through an in-house emergency fundraising campaign held from April 7 to 13, was raised by adding the same amount to a certain amount of salary voluntarily donated by Korean German executives and employees through a matching grant method. In particular, executives and employees on leave also actively participated in the fundraising, adding to the meaning of sharing.

Handok delivered medicines and health functional foods worth 22.5 million won and 40 million won raised to recover from forest fires to Seoul's fruit of love. In addition, he participated in the Korean Pharmaceutical and Bio Association's 'Pharmaceutical Industry Emergency Relief Network' and donated medicines worth 20 million won to the Korean Red Cross.




Kim Young-jin, chairman of Handok, said "Employees and employees voluntarily joined in raising funds to help local residents who have lost their homes and are having a hard time due to the unprecedented large-scale forest fire."I hope that the daily lives of those affected by the forest fire can be recovered as soon as possible."
