NH Amundi Asset Management Conducts Rural Volunteer Work as Part of ESG Management Practice

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] NH-Amundi Asset Management employees visited a chili pepper farm in Gangcheon-ri, Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province on the 16th and announced on the 24th that they conducted their fifth volunteer work this year.

Previously, NH-Amundi Asset Management carried out spring volunteer work at rose and green onion farms in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province in May, followed by autumn activities such as greenhouse repairs and leaf thinning at grape farms in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province and strawberry farms in Hwaseong-si in October.

This activity took place at farms in Gyeonggi Province struggling to find labor due to the aging rural population and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Employees participating in the volunteer work wore masks and maintained social distancing to prevent infection while working. They carried out chili pepper harvesting and packaging in preparation for the autumn kimchi-making season.

Park Hak-joo, CEO of NH-Amundi Asset Management, said, "We hope our small help will support the farms during these difficult times of labor shortages caused by COVID-19, and we plan to continue our volunteer activities steadily."

In addition, NH-Amundi Asset Management has been conducting various social contribution activities to fulfill the public role of NongHyup. Every year, they assist with rural labor during farming seasons and purchase agricultural products. Recently, they also promoted a flower consumption campaign to support flower farms struggling due to COVID-19. This year, they plan to strengthen support for eco-friendly and low-carbon farms and lead social value practices as a domestic ESG pioneering asset management company.
