Yuhan-Kimberly announced on October 28 that it has donated over 7 million ultra-small diapers through its initiative to support premature infants, benefiting approximately 50,000 children.
The company presented its key achievements in supporting premature infants during the '2026 Naver Happy Bean Corporate Partners Day' held on October 27 at Culture Station Seoul 284.
Premature infants are defined as newborns born before 37 weeks of gestation or weighing less than 2.5 kg at birth.
Yuhan-Kimberly began its support in 2011 after receiving a letter from a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurse expressing the urgent need for ultra-small diapers. At that time, infants were forced to wear diapers that were too large for their bodies or rely on limited imported products. Recognizing the challenges faced by medical professionals and parents, Yuhan-Kimberly launched the first diapers specifically designed for premature infants in Korea in 2017 after six years of research and development and additional facility investments.
Since July 2017, Yuhan-Kimberly has donated a total of 7,143,900 ultra-small diapers, benefiting 47,626 children.
Jeon Yang-sook, head of Yuhan-Kimberly's Sustainability Management Center, stated, "Our support for premature infants began with a commitment to not overlook small needs and has continued for the past decade. We will continue to provide practical assistance to premature infants and their families based on the capabilities of our products and brand, and strive to expand a culture of social empathy and support."
