Samsung '2026 Day of Sharing'…108,000 Employees Participate

Samsung held the '2026 Day of Sharing' on the 12th at DSR Tower of Samsung Electronics' Hwaseong business facility in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, and reported the results of its 'Sharing Week' corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign, which ran for two weeks from the 2nd. The campaign this year saw participation from approximately 108,000 employees across 23 domestic affiliated companies, who engaged in donations, blood donations, and community service.

At the event, the inaugural donation delivery ceremony took place for 'Sharing Stores,' a win-win collaboration model involving management, labor, and local communities. The program operates such that when employees patronize designated stores near business facilities, store owners donate a portion of sales. Currently, 370 restaurants and cafes near 22 business facilities across 17 affiliated companies (in Suwon, Hwaseong, Gwangju, Gumi, and Pyeongtaek) participate in the program. The donations collected were delivered to Save the Children Korea, Good Neighbors Korea, and Green Umbrella Children's Foundation.

Through 'Sharing Kiosks' (156 units operating domestically and internationally) where employees contribute 1,000 won by tapping their employee ID cards, a special fundraising campaign of 300 million won during the Sharing Week period was raised to help 20 children in crisis. The blood donation campaign, which began in 1996, recorded a cumulative of approximately 450,000 participating employees over 30 years, and blood donation buses created with executive donations have reached a total of 20 units donated to date.

Management and the labor union also supported on-site volunteer activities. Executives including Jeon Young-hyun, Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics' DS Division, and the Samsung Electronics division of the Cross-Industry Labor Union conducted cookie-making volunteer work at 'Hope Forest' in Yongin, while Noh Tae-moon, President of the DX Division, conducted meal preparation volunteer work at the Gwanggyo Senior Welfare Center in Suwon.

The event was attended by approximately 100 people, including Kim Sun-min (Rep. of the Kukje Innovation Party) and Lee Jun-seok (Rep. of the Reform Party), NGO leaders, Park Yong-in, President of Samsung Electronics, and Choi Seung-ho, Chairman of the Samsung Electronics division of the Cross-Industry Labor Union.
