The Small Business Association announced on June 24 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with UNICEF Korea to expand the positive impact of small businesses and support children globally.
The agreement aims to promote social responsibility among small businesses and establish a sustainable support system for children worldwide. The signing ceremony took place the previous day at the UNICEF Korea headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Under the MOU, both organizations will work together to increase participation in the UNICEF Crew among small businesses and enhance their positive influence.
The UNICEF Crew is a regular sponsorship program that allows small business owners and self-employed individuals to contribute. Participants receive a UNICEF Crew certification plaque and stickers to display in their establishments.
The Small Business Association will actively encourage its member organizations and small businesses to join the UNICEF Crew and will launch a special campaign called the '100 Small Business Crew Campaign.' UNICEF Korea plans to support social value initiatives through content creation and participation assistance for those involved in the UNICEF Crew.
Song Chi-young, president of the Small Business Association, stated, "I hope this agreement will broaden the positive influence of small businesses and serve as a meaningful opportunity to bring hope to children in need around the world." He added, "We will promote a culture of social responsibility among small businesses, going beyond their economic roles, and realize the values of coexistence and sharing through various social contribution activities."
