A global
powerhouse in electrical engineering and electronics, Siemens Korea (Siemens
Ltd. Seoul · SLS) announced
on September 29 that the company will carry out a citizenship program in
recognition of the Senior Citizens Day.
Siemens
Korea will support low-income seniors who are facing difficulties in daily
living conditions due to the prolonged COVID-19 crisis by providing home meal replacements
and personal sanitation products worth KRW 10 million. The kits consist of precooked
five-grain rice, Korean beef Galbitang, high-calcium soybean milk as well as
hand sanitizers, KF-94 face masks, and sterilized wet tissues. Through the
Seoul Senior Citizens Welfare Center, the kits will be delivered to around 430
senior citizens eligible for free meals on September 29th and October 1st. A
joint contribution to support this activity was made among Siemens Ltd. Seoul,
Siemens Healthineers, and Siemens Energy.
Since the
launch of the company’s ‘The NANUM’ volunteer corps in 2013, Siemens Korea has
conducted various volunteer activities every year, including delivering
charcoal briquettes, cleaning up the local environment, and serving free meals
at the Seoul Senior Citizens Welfare Center. This year, instead of the on-site free
meal-serving activity that was cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns, the company
decided to continue the support towards the local community by carrying out the
delivery of food and sanitation products for the elderly in a non-contact
manner.
Mr.
ChewKong Lum, President and CEO of Siemens Korea, said, “The safety of our
employees and the local community should always comes first during the pandemic,
and therefore this year we have conducted all citizenship activities in a
completely non-contact format.” He added, “As a responsible company growing
together with the local community, Siemens Korea will continue to fulfill its social
responsibilities, and I hope the pandemic ends soon so that we are able to
resume our face-to-face volunteer activities with our senior neighbors.”
