P&G Korea is broadening its efforts to assist visually impaired individuals by enhancing access to household items and transforming plastic waste into public facilities like benches. On October 15, the company, along with the Korea Consumer Agency and a consortium of businesses, hosted a donation event for products featuring braille labels and a safety training session to commemorate the 47th White Cane Safety Day.
This day recognizes the accomplishments of blind and visually impaired people and celebrates the white cane as a universal symbol of their autonomy. Since 2022, P&G Korea has contributed to the visually impaired community by supplying household goods and financing the creation of braille tags and stickers. The corporation has given away 15 million won, equivalent to $10,600, in household products, such as Downy fabric softeners and Head & Shoulders hair care items, as well as 2 million won to aid in the production of braille labels and stickers.
For the first time this year, P&G Korea conducted a household product safety education session for visually impaired students, which included preschool and elementary school pupils.
