Major social contribution projects
Environment
Repurposing of Coffee Grounds
Hyundai Steel has conducted a resource-circulating social contribution project, “Repurposing of Coffee Grounds” based on collaboration with Incheon City, the Ministry of Environment, the Korea Productivity Center, and the K-Green Foundation. We established a resource circulation system that collects coffee grounds generated in Incheon City and upcycles them into eco-friendly innovative products such as planters, bricks, and road paving materials. This contributes to waste reduction in the community and creates job opportunities for vulnerable groups.

Safety & Protection
H-shaped Shining Road
Hyundai Steel has signed an agreement with Dangjin City, the Dangjin Police Station, and the Dangjin Welfare Foundation to promote the “H-shaped Shining Road” project since 2021, with the goals of creating a sustainable safe city, preventing traffic crimes, and establishing a social a Dangjin-type social safety net. The H-shaped Shining Road project involves the installation of safety-detecting LED lights at crosswalks in such high-traffic areas as children protection zones and traditional markets, where traffic accidents occur frequently, to prevent accidents. Safety-detecting LED lights provide psychological stability for pedestrians and help drivers easily identify crosswalks, thereby contributing to the prevention of traffic accidents.
Safety & Protection
Bench for Everyone
Hyundai Steel has been conducting the “Bench for Everyone” proj ect since 2023 to expand facilities accessible to both people with disabilities and those without, and to improve awareness of disabilities. We collaborated with architect Professor Hyun-Joon Yoo to design a user-friendly bench model, and we are producing and installing it in partnership with the Purme Foundation, using our steel materials.
