Social Activity program
 
 
House maintenance with love
 
'House maintenance with love' developed for the improvement of residential environment of needy neighbors is the activity to replace wallpapering, flooring, electrical instruments, boilers etc. It also includes visiting senior citizens living alone households being run by youth and old welfare facilities. Family electronic appliances also are provided so that the needy neighbors surrounding us can live a more comfortable environment.
 
Campaign to help needy neighbors
 
This campaign, one of the social contribution activities being actively and developed in various ways by KOMIPO Social Service Corp., is an activity to provide needy neighbors with the donation and goods with the utmost sincerity. The head office and power plants help by visiting homes for the elderly, child-care institutions, orphanages and hospice facilities. Our company has also adopted voluntary activities in the welfare facility during the educational period for newcomers as a core curriculum.
 
Helping sister-village to make sisterhood ties between 1 company and 1 village
 
From the beginning of the head office, each power plant since 2005, has developed the activity of helping out a village by forming a sisterhood relationship with neighboring farming villages. We are promoting friendship in various ways of exchange by lending a hand to villages in need of helping during the rice planting and harvest season. We also invite residents of agricultural regions to a tour of the power plant. In particular the Social Service Corp. is helping farmers obtain profits by purchasing agricultural products cultivated in the sisterhoods village.
 
Superintendence and/or patronage of regional events of culture and art
 
We are supporting various regional cultural events so that the residents in the surrounding power plant area can enjoy the benefits of a high-level culture. This is helpful to a region where the benefit of culture is comparatively low. Specifically the Boryeong Mud Festival, which is a world-class event as well as the Cherry Blossom Festival in association with the Seoul Thermal Power Plant, which has become a popular venue in the spring by the citizens of Seoul.
 
Angel's audience system
 
The Korea Electric Power Corporation and 5 power generation companies throughout Korea, provide tickets to children in nonprofit organizations for child protection all over the country. This gives them the opportunity to watch cultural performance and events.
 
Support of education materials and scholarship
 
The company is providing various educational materials, instruments pertaining to scientific experiments for elementary, junior high, and senior high school students. The reasons for this is to improve the educational environment for gifted students, to provide grant scholarships to students with excellent performances and also those who some from low income families in the surrounding power plant regions.
 
Junior engineering class
 
This program is a special science and technology class provided in the power plant to elementary and junior high school students. The junior engineering class is where power plant engineers participate directly as volunteers to provide talented youth with the common knowledge of general science, including the principles of power generation.
 
Luxurous mountains and clean water
 
The KOMIPO Social Service Corp. has continually concentrated its efforts in environmental conservation activities with the deepest concerns. The head office and its power plants, visit neighboring mountains, seas, and rivers, leading various activities regarding the conservation of ecological environment, by collecting waste.
 
Wild animal protection activity
 
We are involved in activities to protect wild animals that face the danger of extinction by eliminating poaching devices from neighboring mountains and distributing food for winter to wild animals. We are developing activities such as stocking streams with fish that include trout, sweet fish etc, to protecting resources of finny tribes and to contribute to the increased profits of local residents.
 
Disaster relief activities
 
Major damage is caused each year by torrential rains and typhoons during the rainy season. The KOMIPO Social Service Corp. not only provides various kinds of contributions and goods to the affected areas, but also carries out restoration activities directly with the employees at the area where such damage occurred. When crude oil was spilled due to an accident in Taean at the end of 2007, not only were employees in the neighboring power plants participating, but also workers from all businesses helped to prevent and eliminate pollution from affecting seashores and islands.
