OCI Holdings announced on September 8 that over 70 employees and family members from seven OCI Group affiliates participated as guide runners and plogging volunteers at the 11th Marathon with the Visually Impaired, held on September 7 at Pyeonghwa (Peace) Park, World Cup Park in Seoul.

Since 2009, OCI Group has supported the Visually Handicapped to Marathon Korea (VMK) by providing volunteer guide runners, “Light Sharing Companions”, for visually impaired marathoners at both the spring and autumn races each year.

This year, seven affiliates, including OCI Holdings, OCI Company, OCI Power, OCI I&C, OCI Dream (a standard workplace for persons with disabilities), OCI SE (Saemangeum Cogeneration Plant), and Bukwang Pharmaceutical, joined the event to reaffirm the meaning of sharing.

Now in its 11th year, the Marathon with the Visually Impaired aims to foster communication and inclusion between people with and without disabilities, while raising awareness on disability inclusion.

A total of 49 employees participated as guide runners, completing the 10km or 5km course with visually impaired marathoners while connected by a specially designed Trust String. Families with children and beginners joined the 5km walk-and-run, while other employees supported the event as staff or participated in plogging—collecting litter while jogging or walking.
