Six foreign-invested companies were recognized by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency on Thursday for their outstanding social contributions to the local community.

The six awardees are DHL Korea, Wilo Pumps Ltd., FRL Korea, Pernod Ricard Korea, Renault Samsung Motors and L’Oreal Korea.

DHL Korea won the top award for its global volunteer service and relief network. Wilo Pumps Korea won the honor for its dedication to the socioeconomically estranged seniors and orphans, and FRL Korea for distributing used clothing to the needy.

Pernod Ricard Korea and Renault Samsung were honored for creative anti-drunk-driving campaigns and children’s traffic safety campaigns, respectively. L’Oreal Korea was recognized for its support for female scientists.

The recognition is conferred to promote understanding of foreign-invested companies operating in Korea and their contributions to the local community, KOTRA said.
