Dongkuk Steel (460860) Group said it delivered commemorative gifts on Thursday to the Korea-based parents of its overseas expatriate employees to mark Parents' Day.
The group organized the event to express gratitude to overseas expatriates and their families who continue fulfilling their duties amid rapidly changing trade conditions.
The recipients were the parents of 39 expatriates stationed in 10 countries, including the United States, Japan, Mexico, India, Thailand, Poland, China, Vietnam, Australia and Germany. A Korean beef set was enclosed along with a letter of gratitude from Vice Chairman Jang Sae-wook.
"Whenever I think of our executives and employees devoting themselves in faraway countries, I find myself understanding the feelings of parents first, before thinking as a manager," Jang wrote. "I extend my heartfelt gratitude and respect, and I wish your families abundant health and happiness."
Separately, Dongkuk Steel extended warmth to two community children's centers in celebration of Family Month in May. Following its sisterhood tie with the Sindangkkum Community Children's Center in Jung-gu, Seoul, formed in 2012, the company expanded its support last year to include the Yeonga Community Children's Center near Seodaemun, doubling the number of children benefiting from the program. Along with snacks such as pizza and chicken, the company donated used IT devices, and from this year it has diversified its support items by helping install air conditioners in preparation for heat waves.
