As a global company, Hyundai gladly
assumes its responsibilities and welcomes
opportunities to strengthen the sense of
community wherever our products are made
and sold. To this end, the company strives for
a responsible use of natural resources and
protection of the environment while being
actively engaged in a variety of activities to
help the underprivileged members of society
and promote community development based
on trust and mutual respect.
At home, the company is proud of its
long-standing program for children living in
remote rural areas who are invited to Hyundai
plants for educational tours. Also, the
company has been provided unsparing
support for the victims of fires, floods and
other disasters, both natural and man-made.
In another unique program, physically
challenged members of the community are
extended the opportunity to receive free
driving lessons funded by the company. Eco-
protection campaigns continue to gain
momentum with the company’s support of a
variety of green programs. As one small
example, the company-funded Hyundai
Scuba Diving Club is pioneering the cleanup
of Seoul’s Han River with members sacrificing
personal time to remove trash from the bed of
this magnificent river that bisects the capital.
The company has also sponsored a
series of music concerts and sketch contests
under eco-friendly ‘green’ themes. Hyundai
will continue to be active in the cultivation of a
more productive, healthier society where our
children are able to grow and develop into
mature, responsible citizens who will never
hesitate to lend a helping hand to people in
need.
The door to greater opportunity opens
only to those who prepare for the future. In
this sense, Hyundai will always be one-step
ahead of its competitors in creating a happier,
healthier, and more prosperous society. As
the nation’s automotive leader, the company
is contributing to the growth of the national
automotive engineering knowledge base by
funding research programs at Ulsan
University and in the Department of
Mechatronics at Seoul National University,
the nation’s top institution of higher learning.
In the goal of fostering promising new
talent and promoting innovative academic
research, Hyundai has a collaborative
program with the Korea Advanced Institute of
Science and Technology to develop
advanced electronic technologies for
automotive applications.
Hyundai is the first and only domestic
automaker to sponsor an automotive design
contest, an annual event that draws
thousands of entries from the country’s
brightest minds that are dreaming of a future
career in the Korean auto industry.
In addition, the company has sponsored a
variety of cultural promotion events such as
Kyongju EXPO, concerts by the Seoul Youth
Symphony Orchestra, to name but a few.
