Hanssem Completes 1,000th Home Renovation for Underprivileged

Home interior specialist Hanssem has marked a significant achievement in its social contribution efforts, completing its 1,000th home renovation project for underprivileged communities. The initiative, known as 'Space Sharing,' began in 2013 as a volunteer activity by the company's internal club, 'Hanul-tari.' It has since become a flagship corporate social responsibility program, dedicated to transforming the living environments of those in need.

The program's scope has broadened over the years. Initially focusing on individual households, including those of low-income families, children with incurable diseases, and families of 순직 소방공무원 (fallen firefighters), it has recently expanded to include the renovation of public facilities such as child and youth welfare centers, elderly care facilities, and fire stations. This expansion reflects Hanssem's commitment to addressing a wider range of societal needs through its core expertise.

This year, Hanssem has prioritized support for women and vulnerable groups. In February, the company partnered with the international development NGO G-Foundation and space consulting firm O&W to undertake the first project for a visually impaired woman and her family. Over a month-long renovation, Hanssem meticulously redesigned spaces, paying special attention to the kitchen and bathroom to enhance safety for the visually impaired resident and her children.

A Hanssem representative emphasized the program's deeper meaning beyond mere interior upgrades. "Our space improvement project aims to help marginalized neighbors regain a peaceful daily life, going beyond simply changing furniture and fixing interiors," the representative stated. "As a home interior specialist, we will continue to strive to spread the value of social sharing."
