Hyundai E&C is bolstering its CSR efforts on disaster safety by applying its construction expertise. Specifically, the company has developed a child-protective hard hat to ensure safety of children in times of disasters like earthquakes. This hat is lightweight and foldable, weighing only 320g. It is also the first hard hat in Korea with an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag for rescue operations and quality excellence proven with KC (Korean) and CE (European) voluntary certifications.
Every year, Hyundai E&C provides specialized disaster management training for elementary school students and teachers who are vulnerable to disaster safety, such as teaching them about wearing hard hats and earthquake songs with to-do instructions in case of an emergency. Not only that, the company also conducts joint mock evacuation drills. Hyundai E&C will continue to fulfill its social responsibility in the field of children's disaster safety by conducting regular and comprehensive disaster safety training.

Since 2014, Hyundai E&C has been operating the Hillstate Dream Mentoring Corps, a volunteer-based program designed to support the next generation by bridging educational gaps and nurturing their dreams and capabilities. The program features a unique three-tiered mentoring system consisting of a Hyundai E&C employee, a university student, and a youth mentee. Through this arrangement, youth mentees receive guidance in both academic learning and career planning from their two mentors. Simultaneously, the college student mentor gains valuable job-seeking advice and career development opportunities from Hyundai E&C and its employee mentor. The Hillstate Dream Mentoring Corps provides sustained assistance to youth, supporting their journey through education, college, and into the workforce.

Hyundai E&C conducts various sponsorship programs to support the underprivileged in Korea through employee volunteerism. The Love Sharing Fund, which has been running since 2010, is a donation program in which employees voluntarily donate a portion of their salaries. The donations are used for CSR programs to extend a helping hand to needy neighbors near domestic and overseas business sites. Over the past 14 years, the fund has accumulated approximately KRW 4.3 billion. In addition, we continue to operate participatory CSR activities for the development of local communities and trust-building for vulnerable groups and communities near overseas construction sites. Employees actively engage in solving local issues, such as supporting the vulnerable in Jongno (where the headquarters is located), participating in the “One Business to One District Partnership Project” in Gahoe-dong, and taking part in blood donation and goods donation campaigns. Volunteer activities also involve employees’ families, fostering a culture of shared community care.

As Hyundai E&C continues to expand its presence in the global construction market, we are carrying out a wide range of social contribution activities to fulfill CSR in areas where our overseas business operations are located. Hyundai E&C requires the implementation of CSR activities as a prerequisite when entering construction sites in developing countries. From 2011, we have carried out 57 projects in 25 countries (Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Bangladesh, etc.) in various fields such as health and sanitation support, empowerment of vulnerable groups, education, livelihood, and renovation of public facilities. In 2024, Hyundai E&C provided food packages to 5,100 vulnerable households and school supplies to 2,900 students in 10 cities along the North-South Commuter Railway in the Philippines, including Calumpit, Apalit, San Pedro, and Calamba. We also established a childcare center in Santa Rosa, strengthening the support infrastructure for underprivileged children in the region. As a global construction leader, Hyundai E&C is dedicated to leading in CSR by persistently engaging in diverse CSR projects worldwide.
