Hanguk Cheonggwa named a community-contribution recognized company for third consecutive year

[Financial News] Hanguk Cheonggwa said on the 11th that it had earned the top grade, “S,” corresponding to the 96.81st percentile among organizations in the same category in the comprehensive review of the 2026 Community Contribution Recognition Program. It was named a recognized company for community contributions for the third consecutive year.
The Community Contribution Recognition Program, jointly administered by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) and the Korea National Council on Social Welfare, identifies companies that contribute to creating social value, including inclusive welfare for the nation and local communities and balanced regional development. Hanguk Cheonggwa was named a recognized company for community contributions for three consecutive years, from 2024 through 2026. This year, it earned an S grade, awarded to only 12 of the 205 small and midsize enterprises.
According to the review by the Korea National Council on Social Welfare’s Social Contribution Center, the company’s efforts to carry out a range of community-contribution activities—including a program to offset shipping costs in response to the business uncertainties faced by small-scale farms, and identifying gaps in welfare through a public-private cooperation network—were cited as exemplary practices. The center added that the company was favorably evaluated for establishing public-private cooperative governance with MOHW and the Korea National Council on Social Welfare, launching the “Geunyang Dream” program, and helping identify gaps in welfare and connect households in crisis through financial and in-kind support.
Meanwhile, Hanguk Cheonggwa is the only wholesale market corporation representing the agricultural produce distribution industry to be among the 20 finalists for the public-vote-selected social-contribution hot spot “CSRlin Star.” The name “CSRlin” combines corporate social responsibility (CSR) with Michelin.
