Free from Atopy
 
 
 
As it is well known in the issue of 'ISO 26000 (Social responsibility)' of the International Standard Organization (ISO). ISO 26000(Social responsibility), the social responsibility of enterprise became an essential factor regarding global enterprise. We determined that a simple donation or a social service activity alone were not sufficient enough in order to carry the social responsibilities of an enterprise.

We have set forth a plan to develop a special social contribution business differentiated in order to realize the enterprise principle of our own aiming at 'human-friendly and environment friendly'. Therefore, we concluded from the start of the project that 「Free from atopy」(world without atopic dermatitis) would help the children suffering from atopic dermatitis in conjunction the Korea Green Foundation, which is the largest environmental NGO in Korea. We will provide medical treatment of atopic dermatitis through this project, improve the life environment causing atopic dermatitis, and to volunteer by educating about seriousness of atopic dermatitis and its prevention to everyone.
 
- What is atopy
This word derives from the Greek word 'atopos (Improper, peculiar)', which means allergic overreaction caused by genetic or environmental causes, resulting in asthma etc.
It causes severe skin troubles and itching, as well as mental stress caused by them such as anthrophobia, melancholia, and a decrease in brain power. Hypersensitivity, the decrease of learning ability due to lack of concentration and the stunting of growth in children are also major side-effects.
