Bosch Korea employees join visually impaired in harmony marathon

Bosch Korea demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity by participating in the "12th Harmony Marathon with the Visually Impaired" held at Seoul World Cup Park. The event saw over 100 Bosch employees take part, a significant increase from the previous year's 60 participants.

Employees from five Bosch subsidiaries in Korea, including Robert Bosch Korea, Bosch Automotive Electronics, Bosch Rexroth Korea, ETAS Korea, and KBWiperSystem, joined forces. Many employees acted as "guide walkers," pairing up with visually impaired participants to help them complete the 5km course. This hands-on involvement allowed employees to directly experience the value of inclusion.

Marcello Lusuardi, President of Robert Bosch Korea, expressed the significance of the marathon. "The Harmony Marathon with the Visually Impaired was a meaningful time for employees to directly experience the value of inclusion," he stated. "Based on Bosch's philosophy of 'Invented for life,' we will continue to expand our positive impact on the local community."

The Harmony Marathon is designed to foster understanding of disabilities and promote health by having visually impaired and non-visually impaired individuals run or walk as a team. Proceeds from the event are used to improve mobility and support sports activities for the visually impaired. Bosch also provided 1,000 sports towels and operated an experience booth featuring sensor and radar technologies, offering a laser distance meter as a prize.
