As COVID-19 situation has caused widespread ramifications on people, GWM recognizes the importance of disease prevention. It, therefore, has extended its support beyond the scope of medical workers and people. In GWM focus are also state officials who have been working hard to deliver public services at various agencies and whose role has supported Thailand's vital businesses and industries. Aware of the need to protect state officials, GWM has been donating 460,000 surgical face masks to 29 government agencies for distribution to their staff, their visitors, and people living in risky zones. Not only that these face masks serve as protective equipment, but they also give moral support to recipients. To date, GWM has already delivered face masks to 23 government agencies. More donations will be made to cover all 29 target authorities as GWM aims to play a role in reining in COVID-19 outbreak and help Thais pull through the current crisis together.
GWM, furthermore, has helped Thai farmers by buying more than 400 kilograms of mangosteens directly from the southern farmers. The move aims to ease their plight at the time oversupply has drastically cut fruit price. Due to COVID-19 spread, farmers have also been unable to transport their fruits to other areas or foreign countries. There have been problems about labor migration and container shortage as well. GWM has recently bought mangosteens from farmers and given the fruits to people living in Bangkok's COVID-hit areas.
Guided by its consumer-centric focus, GWM not only understands Thais but also seeks to assist Thais across all sectors at such difficult time via its "GO WITH ME, GO TOGETHER" CSR campaign. Under this project, GWM has donated 1 million Baht to Food for Fighters (FFF) so that this volunteer network can cook food and deliver commodities to medical workers as well as people in need during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. GWM has also provided the network with All New HAVAL H6 Hybrid SUVs in support of its operations and transportation.
GWM, in addition, has encouraged its employees, partners, media, customers and supporters to volunteer services, deliver helps, and donate money to FFF. Donors can claim GWM Points with their donation to be redeemed for applicable souvenirs or services on GWM Application (1 Baht = 1 GWM Point). To claim GWM Points with donations, donors only need to send their donation slip to the inbox of Facebook Page: GWM Thailand. In addition, GWM has welcomed restaurant owners or small entrepreneurs' move to promote their businesses on its Facebook page free-of-charge under "Advertise Your Business via Our Platform" post every week throughout the month of August.
GWM, as a "Global Mobility Technology Company", is committed to not only product development and the delivery of New Experience to Thais but also humanitarian principle. It has therefore constantly supported organizations that fast help people during COVID-19 crisis. GWM stands by Thais and will brave through every crisis alongside Thai people.
