Since 2010, MOBIS has conducted the campaign of “sharing an umbrella for children’s transportation safety” for elementary school students nationwide under a slogan of putting “Kids First,” helping establish a foundation for the protection of children from road accidents with the support of the Land and Maritime Affairs Committee and the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.

Since MOBIS established a sisterhood relationship with Deongnyeon-ri of Chungju city in September 2006, the ‘One to One’ Rural Community Support has spread out nationwide. MOBIS’ employees pitch in during busy farming season, and in the other hand, for villagers during off seasons we offer field trips to our business facilities and research institutes. In particular, MOBIS contributes to rural household incomes by directly purchasing products from its sister-villages.

The Junior Engineering School which opened in March 2005 for students in Gyodong Elementary School, Yong-in near our technical research institute, has currently expanded its scale to supporting 150 students in five elementary schools at four regions nationwide. This was due to ardent requests for service from other regions. Beyond the boundaries of classroom, the Junior Engineering School is being actively operated as a larger scene of education.

Including the Gwang-myeong Orphanage in Seoul, MOBIS established sponsorship relations with 28 organizations providing volunteer work for example, cooking, bathing the disabled, cleaning and repairing facilities weekly. The cumulative number of volunteers in 2009 exceeds 1,695 and over 30 million won has been funded.

We endeavor to increase social awareness for blood donation by conducting the ‘Blood Drive’ Campaign, which has been carried out at all our workplaces since 2000 with the catchphrase of ‘Changing the World Together’. In 2009, around 500 employees from our technical research institute, seven module plants, part production facilities, as well as the head office in Seoul participated in the 2009 Blood Drive Campaign and donated their Blood Donor Cards to medical centers in need of blood supply.

The MOBIS Basketball Club has campaigned the ‘Basket with Love’ event, where a certain amount of donation is cumulated whenever a 3-point shot, rebound, or assist is counted. In 2009, a total of 7,960,000 won was gathered and delivered to needy neighbors.
In addition, the basketball club invited the disabled, the elderly living alone, and students of low income families to Phoebus home matches. The team has also made book donations by visiting kindergartens in the hometown, and provided schools with basketball rims.

This fund raising began in 2003 to fulfill its responsibility through the restoration of corporate earnings to the society, and it has been operated with employees’ donation and matching grant provided by the company. The MOBIS Fund is accumulated at an average of 9 million won every month (100 million won per year), and is delivered to the recipient through the Beautiful Foundation.

The charity bazaar ‘Wonderful Saturday’ is held on a Saturday in May every year. MOBIS’ employees have donated more than 50,000 goods since the beginning, and raised around 60 million won from the bazaar. In addition, MOBIS participated in the “PC Donation Event” donating 200 PCs to CAD/CAM Association in Mongolia and a number of welfare facilities in the world including Slovakia, China, and the Czech Republic as well as Korea in 2009.
