[Edaily Reporter Kim Hyung-il ] Energy infrastructure specialist BHI Co., LTD.(083650)(BHI) announced on the 14th that it has established a public interest foundation to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with local communities and is expanding its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.

BHI Co., LTD. has completed the establishment of the “B.well Public Interest Foundation,” a nonprofit foundation, to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with the local community, and held a launch ceremony. The name “B.well” was chosen by combining “BHI Co., LTD.” with “Be Well,” which means “to live well, healthily, and happily.” This signifies the company’s commitment to sharing its growth with the local community and building a sustainable foundation for mutual growth where all members can thrive together.

The initial endowment for the B.well Public Interest Foundation amounts to 700 million won. BHI Co., LTD. plans to continuously increase its endowment contributions to gradually expand the foundation’s operational base and the scope of its social contribution activities. The Be Well Foundation will carry out public interest projects focused on welfare, scholarships, and culture. It plans to implement initiatives such as supporting vulnerable groups and promoting welfare, providing scholarships and fostering local talent, improving school environments and educational conditions, and supporting local music activities and revitalizing local culture.

The establishment of this public welfare foundation is a step toward further systematizing the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management practices that BHI Co., LTD. has consistently pursued. BHI Co., LTD. operates its own corporate social responsibility programs in which employees actively participate and continues to carry out activities aimed at growing alongside society, such as supporting vulnerable groups in the local community, promoting a culture of sharing, and creating local jobs.

An BHI Co., LTD. official stated, “As a leading company in the Gyeongnam region, we decided to establish this public welfare foundation to more actively fulfill our social responsibility toward the local community,” adding, “True to the meaning embodied in the foundation’s name, we will carry out even more diverse and sustained social contribution activities centered on the B.well Public Welfare Foundation to realize a ‘B.well’ society where everyone thrives together.”
