Korea Citibank's Women's Committee conducted a charity campaign in February, raising 16 million won in donations. The single-parent family support campaign, newly started in 2019, is in its third year this year, and the donations are used for the independence of women victims of domestic violence and academic support for affected children.
President Yoo Myung-soon said, "To establish a corporate culture where diversity without discrimination is respected, the Women's Committee has carried out various activities in education development, networking, and social contribution fields. These efforts have borne fruit as exemplary cases of gender equality, such as maintaining a high proportion of female executives and managers," and added, "Korea Citibank will continue efforts to strengthen female leadership and balanced growth."
