DGB Financial Supports Eco-Friendly Vehicles for Food Bank Facilities

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] DGB Financial Group announced on the 17th that it delivered eco-friendly vehicles to local social welfare facilities to fulfill corporate social responsibility through sustainable responsible management and to commemorate its 10th anniversary.

At the delivery ceremony held at Daegu Bank's 2nd headquarters, old vehicles at five food bank facilities operating in the region (including Seogu Food Market) were replaced with eco-friendly vehicles. Additionally, a DGB eco-friendly goods corner was set up at the 'Buk-gu Hope Sharing Market' located in Sangyeok-dong, Buk-gu. The purpose is to prevent malnutrition among vulnerable groups and provide quality goods.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the holding company's founding, DGB Financial Group carried out an eco-friendly food bank vehicle support project in collaboration with Daegu City and the Daegu Community Chest of Korea under the management philosophy of "Creating a world where everyone dreams through warm finance" and the practice of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) management.

The food bank project is a program that supports and delivers food and daily necessities from companies and individuals to address the feeding problems of homeless people and malnourished children, which rapidly increased after the 1998 IMF economic crisis. About 20 food banks are operating in the Daegu area. This year, the spirit of sharing has been further expanded by operating the 'Kidari Sharing Store' more extensively.

Kim Tae-oh, Chairman of DGB Financial Group, said, "It was possible for DGB Financial Group, which celebrates its 10th anniversary, to grow into a comprehensive financial group with nine affiliates thanks to the warm love and affection of local residents," adding, "We will continue to do our best to practice 'ESG management' through social contribution activities responding to various domestic and international issues."

DGB Financial Group established the first comprehensive social welfare foundation in the financial sector, the 'DGB Social Contribution Foundation,' directly operating the Parangsae Dream Regional Children's Center and conducting projects for vulnerable children as well as financial education projects through the 'Dream Tree Education Project Group.'

In addition, through the 'DGB Together Volunteer Group,' which involves employees from all affiliates, they lead volunteer activities for local residents by visiting marginalized or difficult areas, and they collect '1% of employees' salaries' to be used for various support projects for vulnerable groups.
