Harim announced on June 8 that it held the 14th Elementary Scholarship Book Award Ceremony on June 5 at the Iksan Education Support Center in Jeonbuk.
The award ceremony is a key social contribution program aimed at fulfilling corporate social responsibility and promoting reading among local children. It began in 2012 with the goal of nurturing future talent in the community and has now reached its 14th year.
In collaboration with the Iksan Education Support Center, Harim selected scholarship recipients based on recommendations from 55 elementary schools in the area. A total of 55 students, who demonstrated academic diligence and good conduct despite financial difficulties in purchasing books, were chosen as scholarship recipients.
Additionally, Harim provided support for employees' welfare by selecting 20 children of employees with elementary school-aged children to receive scholarship books. This year, a total of 75 books were distributed to 55 local students and 20 children of employees.
Harim CEO Jeong Ho-seok expressed, "I find it meaningful to meet local children through the award ceremony each year and support their dreams. I hope these students gain wisdom through books and grow into leaders who will shape the future society."
In addition to the scholarship book program, Harim operates various social contribution initiatives, including support for farming households and activities for marginalized communities, as part of its commitment to ESG management. In May, Harim collaborated with the Jeonbuk Office of Education and the Science Education Center to conduct a 'Global Student Science Camp,' supporting 24 middle and elementary school students from the region on a field trip to explore scientific and technological sites in Japan.
