KIA MOTORS
The Power to Grow The Power to Realize
With all that we’ve gained in profits and loyalty over the years, we would be sorely
amiss if we failed to give back to communities. With over 60 years of operating
experiences, we’ve worked long and hard to build respect within the markets we act
in and realized that businesses must bolster the communities around them. KIA
Motors runs a lunchbox campaign that provides meals for underprivileged children
and low-income senior citizens. Also, KIA Motors launches 'School Zone Campaign'
for children's safety on their school attendance. Our Gwangju plant set up the ‘One
Heart Club’. The One Heart Club involves employees volunteering their time to
provide the elderly and less privileged with free meals. We also carry out a regular
blood donation campaign and provide support to certain citizens suffering from
extreme cases of leukemia or hemophilia.
To continually grow as a global corporation, KIA Motors is pursuing more transparent
and ethical management practices. In May 2005 we established detailed ethical
behavior guidelines for our staff & executives. The guidelines included clearer policies
regarding the fair performance of duties, maintenance of transparent relationships
with stakeholders, prohibition of private gains using company assets, and clearer
policies regarding the public release of information.
Our various efforts to be a fair partner within our communities have been recognized
by others. In gratitude of our social outreach efforts, in December 2005 KIA Motors
was deemed a superior corporation in the 15th Economic Justice Corporation Awards;
these awards were held by the Citizens’ Coalition For Economic Justice Institute and
sponsored by the Fair Trade Commission & Korea Stock Exchange.
