KIA MOTORS 2006 Annual Report
Kia has been actively engaged in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities since 1991.
The Hyundai - Kia Automotive Group donated US$100,000 to support relief efforts for victims
of the earthquake that hit Indonesia in May 2006. Also, to help the victims of summer flood of
2006 that rocked the Korean peninsula, Kia participated in a disaster relief activity in conjunction
with the Korea Disaster Relief Association. This meant we provided specially - produced rescue vehicles;
dispatched welfare service groups; operated an emergency maintenance support group; and offered various
rescue activities to help the flood victims.
In October 2006, Kia Motors launched the ‘Easy Move’ vehicles and donated them to 3 underprivileged transportation related
groups including the Korea Parents Association for disabled people. The ‘Easy Move Campaign’ is designed to draw attention
from Korean population and to improve political supports for transportation convenience of the underprivileged including the
disabled and elderly. Developing special vehicles for the physically challenged people is one of our three core social
contribution activities that include promoting a safe traffic culture and volunteer activities.
We also have a steadfast commitment to invest significantly in clean production technologies, to minimize environmental
impacts on the surrounding environment. True to this, our Sohari and Gwangju plant received Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Verification from the international certificate authority DNV (Det Norske Veritas). In light of the fact that our Hwasung plant
received certification for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Verification from BSI (British Standard Institute) in 2005, Kia Motors became
the first company in Korea to complete Greenhouse Gas Emissions Verification in all of its plants.
