Hana resumes voluntary service campaign after 3 years
Hana Financial Group has resumed an annual voluntary service campaign that has grown in terms of its scale and range of programs to reflect its commitment to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-oriented management.
The campaign traditionally starts on Nov. 11, in line with Hana Financial Group’s aspiration to become the nation’s No. 1 banking group from its current third place.
The campaign had been suspended for past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year, what the group calls “all ones day” — the 11th day of the 11th month — campaign kicked off, Friday, and is running through the next two months.
The campaign is participated by more than 350 people, including Hana Financial Group Chairman Ham Young-joo, the firm’s CEOs, executives and rank-and-file employees, plus their family members.
The 2022 edition of the campaign is also joined by SK telecom and Lotte Confectionery, with the former offering a ride-hailing service using its mobile telecommunications network, and the latter providing cookies, biscuits and snacks.
The opening ceremony, Friday, took place at Hana Financial Group’s headquarters in central Seoul, where the campaign theme, “joint prosperity and happiness for all,” was announced.
The banking group pledged to enhance its social responsibility, while listing out the achievements that were carried out so far under its broader ESG management practices.
Among the achievements were job creation for young people and the elderly, support for small business owners, single mothers and other financially vulnerable groups of people as well as the construction of daycare centers for children.
“And hopefully all these activities for socially vulnerable people will bring a string of positive outcomes,” Chairman Ham said.
“Hana Financial Group will continue to make efforts for co-prosperity for all.”
