KT&G (CEO Bang Kyung-man) donated ₩420 million to the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) on Aug. 29 to support the social resettlement of individuals under MOJ protection.

The donation ceremony was held at the MOJ office in Gwacheon Government Complex with attendees including KT&G Chief Vice President Lee Sang-hak, MOJ Director General for Crime Prevention Policy Lee Young-myeon, and other officials. The donated funds will be directed toward initiatives that assist protected individuals.

This contribution will support a wide range of programs, including housing environment improvements such as renovations of aging homes, the establishment of small libraries in juvenile detention centers, and scholarship assistance for current and former students of juvenile facilities.

This year’s expanded sponsorship will also fund newly introduced initiatives such as child support and counseling services for families in crisis, provision of daily necessities for facility residents, and the creation of facilities to support cognitive training for elderly individuals under protective care.

A KT&G representative stated, “To help protection beneficiaries reintegrate into society in a healthy and stable way, we have expanded both the scale of our sponsorship and the scope of our support programs this year. KT&G remains committed to carrying out tailored social responsibility initiatives in close cooperation with the Ministry of Justice to support the self-reliance of marginalized groups.”

Since 1998, KT&G has consistently provided donations to the Ministry of Justice, marking 28 years of uninterrupted support. Through these efforts, the company has contributed to improving the residential environment of protected individuals, enhancing crime prevention infrastructure, stabilizing the emotional well-being of at-risk youth, and creating meaningful employment opportunities.
