Invest KOREA

Volunteers from Invest KOREA and Fuji Xerox Korea visited a center for people with disabilities last week to make Korean rice cakes with the approach of Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) and to harvest corn and peppers together.

Located in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province, the center serves about 20 individuals with disabilities. Fuji Xerox Korea has sponsored the center since 2005.

The Friends of Invest KOREA, a young ambassador group of foreign students at Korean universities that aims to promote Korea and its investment environment globally, also participated in the event. Ambassador Colin Brown noted that it was meaningful to spend time with the people at the center while preparing for Chuseok, and that the experience provided a good opportunity to see the corporate social responsibility activities of foreign-invested companies.

To promote the importance of foreign direct investment to Korean citizens and enhance the image of foreign-invested companies, Invest KOREA holds joint volunteer activities annually.
