Namyang Dairy said on Monday it provided product support worth 920 million won last year, covering the full life cycle from infants to older people, with donations of about 84,000 products. The company said it expanded the creation of social value, centred on tailored support for vulnerable groups, participatory campaigns and environmentally friendly management.

Namyang Dairy has strengthened a life-cycle customised social contribution system for infants, young family caregivers and vulnerable older people under the slogan, "Healthy companionship for all generations."

The company operated a "Hope Camp for Families of Paediatric Epilepsy Patients" last year. It provided free support to medical institutions to address urgent demand for Ketonia among hospitalised paediatric epilepsy patients and carried out activities to ease families' psychological burdens and social discrimination.

It also worked with international relief and development NGO World Vision to 추진 the integrated support project for young family caregivers, "Fill care," expanding support for daily life, medical care and education, and linkages to self-reliance. It also rolled out a nutrition support programme for vulnerable older people by connecting 15 sites nationwide with local sponsoring groups.

The company said it also expanded social contribution through consumer-participation campaigns last year. It ran the "Donghaeng Day" campaign to donate formula to vulnerable single-parent families and is running for the second year the "Surprise Baby Campaign" to support childcare goods for vulnerable pregnant women on Pregnant Women's Day (Oct. 10). Last year it also ran the "Workplace Consideration Campaign for Pregnant Workers" with the Population Health and Welfare Association, the first private company to do so.

It also posted results in environmentally friendly management. It expanded the annual number of elementary school students covered by its "visiting eco-friendly classroom" education programme to 1,500 from 350 and provided education to a total of about 2,300 people, including additional applicants.

Jong-jin Jang (장종진), an assistant manager on Namyang Dairy's brand team, said, "Last year, under the direction of 'healthy companionship,' we expanded social contribution activities across generations and across fields." He said, "We will continue to steadily create social value through sustainable corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes that do not end as one-off events."
