SEOUL, South Korea, June 15, 2026 – OCI Holdings announced today that over 80 employees and their families took part in the 12th 'Harmony Marathon with the Visually Impaired,' serving as guide runners and participating in plogging activities. The event took place on the morning of the 13th at Peace Square in Sangam World Cup Park, Seoul.

The initiative brought together volunteers from six key affiliates across the Group: OCI Holdings, OCI Company Ltd., OCI Information and Communication, OCI Dream, OCI SE, and Bukwang Pharmaceutical. This collaborative effort not only supported a worthy cause but also significantly boosted employee morale and a shared sense of corporate pride.

Since 2009, OCI Group has partnered with the Visually Handicapped to Marathon Korea (VMK), organizing its biannual ‘Light-Sharing’ initiative. Now marking its 18th year, the program has seen employees consistently volunteer as guide runners for visually impaired athletes at various marathon events nationwide.

Now in its 12th year, the Harmony Marathon is a celebrated sporting event where individuals with and without disabilities run side-by-side, playing a vital role in raising awareness and breaking down social barriers.

During the race, 48 OCI volunteers acting as guide runners successfully completed the half-marathon, 10km, and 5km courses. They ran in perfect synchronization with visually impaired athletes, tethered together by a specialized "Trust String" connecting their wrists.

The event was designed to be inclusive for all attendees. Employees with children and running novices enjoyed a lighter 5km walk or jog, while non-running participants actively supported the event as staff members or engaged in 'plogging'—an eco-friendly activity of picking up litter along the trail.

“It is incredibly inspiring to see our employees and their families dedicate themselves to this ‘Light-Sharing’ initiative for 18 consecutive years,” said Cha Jeong Whan, Senior Vice President of Public Relations Office at OCI Holdings. “Driven by the voluntary and passionate engagement of our people, we will continue to expand our philanthropic footprint through community outreach and environmental stewardship.”
