[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Woori Financial Group announced on the 22nd that it will conduct the environmental protection campaign "We Protect the Earth" Season III, in which all employees across the group will participate, until the 31st of next month in celebration of Earth Day.

First, during the campaign period, Woori Financial employees will take the "Eco-friendly Practice Pledge" through the company intranet.

Next, through two green activities such as turning off monitors when away from desks for extended periods, turning off lights in unused spaces, and using tumblers and mugs instead of disposable cups, they will take the lead in protecting the environment in daily life and fostering an eco-friendly corporate culture.

Additionally, Woori Financial plans to collect used goods donated by employees for resource recycling and deliver them to Beautiful Store.

In particular, Woori Bank has produced eco-bags certified by the Ministry of Environment as eco-friendly products to be used instead of traditional paper shopping bags to spread eco-friendly culture. Following last year, this year they will also hold a customer event to reduce paper bankbooks and encourage the use of mobile bankbooks.

Son Tae-seung, Chairman of Woori Financial Group, said, "Employees consistently show interest in the environment and we continuously conduct environmental protection campaigns to help solve the increasingly serious environmental problems day by day." He added, "Going forward, Woori Financial will continue to practice various ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) eco-friendly activities to leave a clean earth for future generations."
