Korea East-West Power Co. (EWP) President Park Il-joon and his executives and staff took time out to serve New Year tteokguk (rice cake soup) for about 400 elderly in the Jung-gu rea in Ulsan at the Hamweol Elderly Welfare Center on Jan. 2 prior to a ceremony to kick off the 2019 business year. EWP also delivered rice cake and gloves to the elderly.
The ceremony brought together field staff, subsidiary and cooperative company staff who pledged their determination to make operations without accidents and participated in hand-printing performance for a gesture.
EWP also held a ceremony to welcome aboard 59 freshmen employees and eight drivers whose status changed to non-regular workers to regular employees and new-comers. Fourteen or 23 percent of 59 freshmen employees were hired from the Ulsan area in which EWP was relocated.
EWP spearheaded efforts to overcome social bipolarization and promote social integration by allowing dispatched drivers to work as regular EWP employees.
EWP will lead efforts to realize social values by extending a helping hand to underprivileged neighbors and hiring manpower from the neighborhood area, an EWP official said.

EWP Delivers Wintertime Vouchers to Low-Income Households
EWP delivered energy vouchers worth about 30 million won to 300 low-income households and veterans’ families.
EWP held a ceremony to give wintertime energy vouchers to 300 poor families at Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall on Jan. 8. The families belong to a stratum just above the basic income guarantee net, but they do not benefit from the energy voucher regime.
EWP also donated 7,500 pairs of gloves to welfare centers and other facilities with sisterhood ties with EWP operations. Providing energy vouchers to stratum just above the basic income guarantee net and poor veterans’ families is designed to give a warm heart so that they can spend winter warmly, an EWP official said.
EWP launched the winter energy voucher support project in 2015. The power company has delivered to 1,727 households and 34 welfare facilities energy vouchers worth a combined 180 million won between 2015 and 2018. EWP also gave energy vouchers worth about 60 million won last July to support cooling during summer.
