Yongma Logis Deploys Logistics Infrastructure for Community CSR Initiatives Across Gyeonggi Province
On September 28, DongA SociO Group’s logistics subsidiary Yongma Logis highlighted its community-focused corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Utilizing its core supply chain assets, the company executed three distinct programs across Gyeonggi Province: an upcycling eco-booth at an Anseong trail running event, an expanded logistics education pipeline for students, and a mobile music concert hosted out of a converted 11.5-tonne cargo truck in Gimpo.
Fantasy & Market Impact
Closing the Loop: The Re:Born Upcycling Initiative at Geumgwang Lake
On September 13, Yongma Logis deployed an upcycling booth at the ‘Womens Aura Trail’ running competition held near Geumgwang Lake in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province. Operating in tandem with the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization’s ‘Run Gyeonggi’ initiative, the logistics firm showcased its ‘Re:Born Project’. This initiative operates under the Gyeonggi Social Economy Agency’s 2026 Social Environment Problem Solving Support Program, which aims to resolve regional environmental hurdles while fostering sustainable growth for local social enterprises.
To execute the resource circulation framework, Yongma Logis partnered with Shell Corporation to collect discarded corporate uniforms and transform them into functional consumer goods. On-site staff also distributed core beverage products from group affiliates—including Dong-A Pharmaceutical’s Bacchus and Dong-A Otsuka’s Pocari Sweat—to support participating runners through high-endurance efforts.
Scaling the Talent Pipeline: The Yongma Logischool 2nd Cohort
Shifting focus from environmental recycling to vocational development, Yongma Logis hosted the second iteration of its educational CSR program, ‘Yongma Logischool’, on September 17. Staged at the company’s No. 2 Logistics Center in Anseong, the curriculum drew roughly 40 students from Gyeonggi Logistics High School—doubling the participation rate from the inaugural July session.
| Date | Program Name | Location | Core Operational Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 13 | Re:Born Project | Geumgwang Lake, Anseong | Logistics waste upcycling & uniform circularity |
| September 17 | Yongma Logischool (2nd Cohort) | No. 2 Logistics Center, Anseong | TPL warehousing, KGSP standards, & forklift training |
| September 19 | Starlight Music Concert | Masong LH 4 Complex, Gimpo | Cultural access via 11.5-tonne truck stage conversion |
Students were given an insider’s view of a specialized Third-Party Logistics (3PL) warehouse. The facility tour highlighted KGSP (Korea Good Supply Practice) compliance standards for pharmaceutical storage, which demand strict temperature, constant-temperature, and humidity controls. Trainees also examined global supply chain processes encompassing international imports, customs clearance, and inbound receiving.
The curriculum incorporated tactile, experiential elements. Students operated or observed material handling equipment firsthand, climbing into order pickers (elevating electric forklifts designed for high-density, small-lot picking) and reviewing reach truck operations.
Mobile Infrastructure: Transforming 11.5-Tonne Fleets into Cultural Stages
On September 19, Yongma Logis extended its community footprint to the Masong LH 4 Complex parking lot in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, hosting the ‘Cultural Connection Starlight Music Concert’.
Funding for the performance troupe and staging assets came from voluntary employee donations matched through the Community Chest of Korea (‘Love Fruit’). Delivering the infrastructure required a distinct logistical pivot: the performance stage itself was built by converting an active 11.5-tonne cargo truck into a mobile platform.
A representative for Yongma Logis stated, “Beyond our primary role in logistics transport, we will expand sustainable management practices that deliver social values such as education, environment, and culture to the local community. "We will continue to use our corporate capabilities and infrastructure to breathe together with local residents."
