Hyundai Motor publishes white paper on successful COVID-19 pandemic response

By Baek Byung-yeul, The Korea Times - Hyundai Motor has published a white paper on how the company has successfully responded to the COVID-19 pandemic over the past three years in an effort to use it as a manual in the event of similar infection outbreaks in the future, the carmaker said Monday.

The white paper covers the crisis and response process over the past three years, from the first case of COVID-19 in 2020 to the transition to endemic status in 2023, the company said.

The company said, "Specifically, the white paper includes a timeline of Hyundai Motor's COVID-19 response," the company said. "It is comprised of five parts such as turning on the emergency lights during COVID-19; turning on the epidemic prevention engine to overcome; grasping the steering wheel to end the epidemic; and starting the engine again for the future."

This white paper provides a definition and overview of COVID-19, as well as statistical information on the number of confirmed cases among Hyundai Motor employees globally and domestically.

It also introduces the company's emergency response system and prevention and quarantine activities at each of its plants, as well as recommendations from medical and quarantine experts and testimonials from employees in the COVID-19 response department about their efforts over the past three years.

"After more than three years of COVID-19, I believe that our nation's and our company's infectious disease response system has progressed a step forward from where it was lacking," an employee of the response team wrote in the white paper. "I hope that the experience of COVID-19 will serve as a springboard for everyone to work together to overcome the next time an infectious disease occurs."

Hyundai Motor said it distributed the white paper to all employees and also shared it with organizations such as the Korean Enterprises Federation, the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Seocho District Office in Seoul, so that various organizations could use it as a response manual.

"We are grateful to Hyundai Motor employees for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic," Chang Jae-hoon, CEO of Hyundai Motor, said. "The white paper summarizes how Hyundai Motor employees overcame the crisis and is expected to serve as a manual for overcoming the post-COVID-19 crisis."
