The Small and Medium Business Agency announced on June 23 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korea Leukemia and Childhood Cancer Association at its Mokdong office in Seoul.
The agreement aims to support the healthy growth and challenges faced by children with leukemia and childhood cancer and to improve social awareness and interest in childhood cancer. It is significant as it utilizes the agency's public education infrastructure, including training centers and educational programs, to realize social value.
The two organizations agreed to collaborate in several areas, including: free access to the agency's six nationwide training centers for the association's national pilgrimage event, providing educational programs for participants, jointly promoting campaigns to raise awareness of leukemia and childhood cancer, and engaging in social contribution activities involving agency employees.
The national pilgrimage event is held annually across the country as part of a campaign to encourage children with leukemia and childhood cancer and to alleviate social prejudice. The Small and Medium Business Agency plans to continue its social contribution activities by linking safety training and volunteer work by employees to ensure the event is conducted safely and smoothly.
Earlier, in March, the agency established a new long-term strategy for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management over the next five years, reflecting public institution ESG guidelines during its first ESG management committee meeting of the year.
Jo Han-kyo, Director of Human Resource Growth at the Small and Medium Business Agency, stated, "I hope this agreement serves as an opportunity to convey messages of hope and support to children and families enduring difficult treatment processes."
