Huons Group said Monday that three of its affiliates have been named Corporate Philanthropy Leaders by the Community Chest of Korea (CCK), a recognition given to companies that donate or pledge to donate more than 100 million won ($67,800).

According to the health care group, Huons Global, Huons and Humedix held a ceremony with CCK’s Gyeonggi Chapter at the group’s headquarters in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, to deliver their donations and mark their induction into the program.

The ceremony was joined by Huons Global and Huons CEO Song Soo-young, Humedix CEO Kang Min-jong and CCK Gyeonggi Chapter Chairman Kwon In-wook.

Corporate Philanthropy Leader is a program honoring companies that have donated or pledged to donate more than 100 million won, aimed at promoting a culture of giving and setting a model for corporate social responsibility.

The three affiliates decided to join the program together, as they seek to continue their ongoing social contribution efforts, including support for underprivileged communities, medical volunteer work and scholarship programs.

The donations will be used by the Gyeonggi chapter to fund various social programs, including support for living expenses and medical costs for low-income households, as well as projects to improve educational environments.

“Huons Group was able to achieve its growth thanks to the support and trust of the local community,” Song said. “Based on our mission to provide medical solutions for human health, we will continue to expand our sharing initiatives to support those in need and deliver meaningful assistance.”

CCK chapter chairman Kwon expressed gratitude for the Huons affiliates’ participation in the program and pledged that the donations would be delivered transparently to those in need, to help build a caring community.
