The program, which has been held for three consecutive years until this year, is designed to solve the problem of lack of transportation for volunteer centers' recovery activities in the event of a disaster and to increase the community's quick recovery response. The Chevrolet Colorado vehicle offered this year will be used to support natural disaster recovery, including transportation of volunteer personnel, transportation of relief goods and equipment, pre-inspection and emergency response activities, as well as transportation of volunteer personnel for about five months from July to November.
At the vehicle delivery ceremony held at GM's Korean headquarters in Bupyeong, Incheon on the 24th, Hector Villarreal, president of GM's Korean operations, Yoon Myung-ok, chief marketing officer and communication manager of GM's Korean operations, Lee Dae-hyung, chairman of the Incheon Volunteer Center, and Park Wi-kwang, head of the Incheon Volunteer Center, attended the vehicle delivery ceremony to strengthen their willingness to support the local community.
"While damage is increasing due to the premature heat wave caused by the climate crisis, rapid support for the community we are in is an important part of GM's sustainable management and social responsibility," said Hector Villarreal, president of GM's Korean operations. "In the future, GM's Korean operations will continue to focus on the vulnerable in the community while continuing activities for community contribution."
Lee Dae-hyung, chairman of the Incheon Volunteer Center, said, "The means of transportation is a very important factor at the disaster site, and the vehicle support at GM's Korean site will be a great help in enhancing the on-site response," adding, "We will do our best to ensure community safety and rapid recovery through Chevrolet vehicles."
A new car purchase cash support program for flood victims will also be operated until the 31st of this month. Customers who have been inundated by torrential rains can receive up to 1 million won in cash if they submit documents issued by insurers or local governments to prove the damage when purchasing new cars under the Chevrolet and GMC brands. In addition, Chevrolet and GMC vehicle customers who carry out repairs due to flooding or damage due to torrential rains in the summer can receive 50% of the total repair cost at more than 400 GM service centers nationwide.
Meanwhile, GM Korea's emergency relief vehicle support is part of GM's ESG management, which is meant to prepare best practices for responding to the climate crisis through corporate social responsibility and cooperation with local communities, and strengthen its role as a trusted partner in case of a disaster.
