There are undeveloped areas in the city of Seoul where people with difficulty buying even coal briquettes for warmth, live. On February 6, 2015, both Korea Nitto Denko and Nitto Denko Nitoms Korea donated 2,000 coal briquettes to Babsang Community Welfare Foundation, Bank of Briquette, which supports households of such people. As there are a lot of steep hills and narrow alleys in such areas and distribution is hard, the company volunteers tried to distribute the coal briquettes by themselves. All employees from both companies went up and down the steep hills over and over for four and a half hours, carrying the coal on their shoulders and on two-wheeled carts. In all, they delivered 1,000 coal briquettes to seven households. |
