KOTRA makes safe way for schools

KOTRA held the ‘KOTRA-Multicultural Family Center Global Safety Day’ at its headquarters in Yeomgok-dong on February 27th. At the event, KOTRA's in-house safety and health club 'Security Lab' and volunteer club 'Left Hands' held a '1 for 1 campaign' in which executives and employees donated one set to the local community for each set purchased, and donated 200 sets of safety straps. The ‘safety reflective strap’ presented on this day is made of fluorescent reflective material so that drivers can easily identify children walking at night or in cloudy weather, and is designed in the shape of KOTRA’s character, Globi, so that it can be hung on a school bag or carrier.
