In a demonstration of corporate social responsibility, Hankook Tire Malaysia, the regional subsidiary of Hankook Tire & Technology, has joined the Free Milk Project.
Hankook Tire Malaysia Contributes RM10,000 to Fund Installation of Free Milk Machines
The initiative, spearheaded by the Office of the Member of Parliament for Segambut, is aimed at ensuring the nutritional well-being of children aged six and below from the B40 community, whose household earns less than RM4,850 monthly.
Hankook Tire Malaysia made a significant contribution of RM10,000 to fund the installation of free milk machines in the region. This generous donation would facilitate the distribution of essential nutrients to children in need. The Free Milk Project operates in partnership with the Korean Society Malaysia, Korean Embassy in Malaysia, Masjid Al-Hidayad Mosque and Farm Fresh Malaysia.
As part of the project’s first phase, the 100 children enrolled in the mosque’s welfare programme would receive free milk for a one-year period. Starting in Kampung Sungai Penchala, children could access the free milk through dispensing machines strategically placed in the suburban areas of Segambut. Allegra Technologies Sdn Bhd was instrumental in sponsoring the machines and providing the necessary technology for the project.
Fostering a collective effort towards healthy growth and the eradication of child hunger, several Korean companies, including Hankook Tire Malaysia, Posco Malaysia, CJ Century Logistic, SK Malaysia and MyOptic, came together to make valuable financial contributions to the programme.
During the launch, Managing Director Nam, Oh Hyun, representing Hankook Tire Malaysia, stated the company’s dedication to social responsibility. “It is the company’s responsibility to leave a positive impact on the local communities that supported it through the years,” he said. “Hankook Tire Malaysia is happy to be a part of the Free Milk Project and the company would continue to support and share warmth with local communities and organisations that need a helping hand.”
Hankook Tire says it remains steadfast in its commitment to support communities within the vicinity of its plants and subsidiaries. Through various initiatives, including product donation, financial support and active participation in local safety programmes, the company consistently invests on efforts in contributing to the well-being and healthy growth of these communities.
