Social Contributions Reflecting Coway’s Values

Coway performs corporate social contribution activities to ensure a prosperous future that preserves the precious value of nature. To achieve shared growth with local communities while preserving the integrity of the environment, we fulfilled our CSR utilizing our strong expertise in water and air and digital competitiveness, contributing to building a better society.

Social Contribution System

Coway's social contribution goes hand in hand with our vision of becoming the “Best Life Solution Company.” We actively participate in social activities to fulfill our social responsibility and contribute to sustainable development. Our social commitment is expressed in our motto, “Good Wave for People and the Environment", and we prioritize the environment and people in all our social activities. We develop and implement programs to grow together with local communities, leveraging our experience and expertise as the “Best Life Solution Company.” In determining our social activities, we consider the severity of social issues in target areas and their relevance to our business.

Socially Responsible Organization

Coway's dedicated organization for social contribution is the Social Contribution Task Force, within the Communication Office.

Commitments for Clean Water and Air
Social Contribution Policy

Coway is committed to keeping its promise to create a healthy living environment and improve the quality of life for all communities by providing clean water and air as part of its CSR activities. We donate water purifiers and air purifiers to underprivileged communities to share the value of cleanliness. We continue to increase our CSR activities through sustainable, mid- to long-term programs, rather than just one-off events, and build trust with local communities.

Our major social contribution activities include the Water for Life program which aims to improve water quality in groundwater polluted areas, the Clean Air Program to improve the indoor environment of multi-use facilities in urban air polluted areas, environmental education programs for children, and campaigns to plant specialty tree species to preserve biodiversity.

Case

River Flogging

Coway conducted an ocean cleanup campaign in partnership with employees and the general public to raise awareness of water pollution and remind us of its importance.
The goal of the Coway River Flogging Campaign 2022 was to keep rivers and oceans clean and spread a culture of eco-friendly practices in everyday life through activities such as running or walking in waterfront areas during vacations and picking up trash. We provided biodegradable bags, eco-friendly tweezers, and gloves, and more than 400 people participated in picking up marine litter. We plan to continue the campaign to remind people of the importance of water and raise community awareness of marine litter through easy activities in the valley and by the sea during vacation seasons.
