There are people in the world who suffer because they do not
have adequate clothing to protect them.
They live in the same world we live in but desperately need a
helping hand. Sae-A Trading continues to strive to take care of
those in need..
For Social Responsibility
Sae-A’s Outreach Extends All Around the World
Building a Future of Hope in Haiti
CSR: Corporate Social Responsibility.
Sae-A Trading has long rendered support around the globe with a sense of responsibility.
A devastating earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010 and Sae-A Trading offered
support for Haitians who were in despair.
We strive to fundamentally improve life quality of those in need by providing support for employment activities in local
communities where our production bases are located, rather than simply supplying clothing and goods.
Sae-A provided personal hygiene kits, apparel and vehicles to facilitate relief efforts.
Moreover, Sae-A raised over USD 1 million
for the establishment and long-term operation of a school.
The earthquake may have destroyed the country’s social infrastructure,
but a bright future is being created for the Haitian people
through the relief and restoration support that Sae-A provides.
Sae-A Indonesia employees' children
who have outstanding academic records
went on a field trip to the plant. The
children were served a meal of Korean
dishes and awarded scholarships.
Sae-A’s Guatemala branch provides
support in the form of clothing donations
to families of policemen from Policía
Nacional Civil de Guatemala who have
fallen in the line of duty.
