The Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation (KIND, President Kim Bok-hwan) announced that it carried out a housing environment improvement volunteer activity in the Seoul Station jjokbangchon area on May 15.
The activity was organized as part of KIND’s training program for newly hired employees and was conducted in collaboration with the Happy Sharing Volunteer Association. Employees participating in the volunteer work supported interior renovation efforts, including wallpaper replacement and painting in aging jjokbangchon housing units, helping to improve the living conditions of vulnerable residents in a practical and meaningful way.
KIND is a public institution engaged in the discovery and investment development of overseas infrastructure, urban development, and plant projects. This volunteer initiative is particularly meaningful in that it expanded the core value of KIND’s business—“infrastructure and urban development”—into the realization of social value through improving housing conditions for vulnerable communities in Korea. As a public institution leading infrastructure, urban development, and plant investment projects around the world, KIND put into practice its mission of improving housing and infrastructure both domestically and internationally.
A KIND official stated, “As an organization at the forefront of overseas investment development projects, we believe that contributing to the improvement of poor housing environments in Korea is also a natural responsibility as a public institution. We especially hope that newly hired employees, by working directly in the field and experiencing the value of infrastructure improvement firsthand, will grow into professionals who prioritize social value and ESG principles on the global stage.”
KIND has continuously carried out various social contribution activities aimed at realizing global values and improving infrastructure. These activities include purchasing and delivering Christmas gifts for multicultural youth, supporting school bag programs for the new semester, and volunteering at children’s centers in Vietnam. Through such initiatives, KIND has continued to promote coexistence and shared growth.
KIND plans to continue creating social value as a public institution through various programs, including educational support and global volunteer activities.
