[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Shinhan Financial Group announced on the 6th that it has signed a business agreement with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Community Chest of Korea to promote the creation of the environment and customized support projects for the co-parenting sharing center 'Kkumdodamteo'.

'Shinhan Kkumdodamteo' is a public-private partnership project that remodels the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's co-parenting sharing center facilities to create a community-centered child-rearing friendly environment and support care for elementary school children in dual-income families by reducing childcare burdens and preventing career interruptions.

Since 2018, Shinhan Financial has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and opened a total of 101 'Shinhan Kkumdodamteo' centers over three years through the 'Elementary Care Co-parenting Sharing Center Creation' project, providing financial education to 1,672 children.

Over the next three years, Shinhan Financial plans to invest a total budget of 10 billion KRW to open an additional 100 Shinhan Kkumdodamteo centers. They intend to improve the quality of education by combining financial education using board games and audiovisual materials with coding education using teaching aids such as Ozobot and Spike.

Additionally, through environmental improvement projects such as maintenance of aging facilities and support for air purification, disinfection, and hygiene equipment, they plan to continuously increase the satisfaction of parents and children using Shinhan Kkumdodamteo.

Shinhan Financial Chairman Cho Yong-byeong said, "We will do our best to pass on a hopeful society where everyone lives well to future generations through various ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activities to realize social value."
