Korea Zinc community and environmental initiatives

Overview

Korea Zinc’s Onsan Smelter has engaged in various corporate social responsibility initiatives in Ulsan. In October 2026, the company collaborated with Ulsan City officials to conduct volunteer work at the Suyeon Rehabilitation Center in Ulju-gun, focusing on improving the living environment for children with severe disabilities. This activity follows a formal agreement established in March of the previous year to provide regular support to local welfare facilities.

During the same period, the company conducted its second ‘Companion Beach’ cleanup of the year at Pyeongdong Beach. Employees collected marine debris, including plastics and fishing gear, while monitoring waste trends. This environmental effort is part of a broader campaign involving the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. Additionally, Korea Zinc is contributing 100 million won to the ‘Public-Private Sea Forest Project’ in collaboration with Ulsan Metropolitan City and the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency to support marine ecosystem restoration through June 2027.
