[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] Park Cha-hoon, the re-elected President of Saemaeul Geumgo Central Association, is set to advance digital finance enhancement, establish ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, and build a win-win management system.

According to the financial sector on the 24th, Saemaeul Geumgo plans to actively engage in the MyData project this year to strengthen its digital finance capabilities. Through this, it aims to create a digital integrated financial platform environment. It also plans to prepare hyper-personalized services in a big data environment. Saemaeul Geumgo has already completed tasks such as establishing an IT center and upgrading smart banking last year.

Regarding the ESG management strategy, the focus is on becoming a "socially respected Saemaeul Geumgo." In particular, it has set a goal to serve as a Green New Deal hub by supporting social enterprises and expanding eco-friendly facility installations in the environmental sector. Recently, through organizational restructuring, an ESG Management Committee was established within the Central Association. The committee will decide on major policies such as ESG strategies and strengthen ongoing ESG activities.

The win-win management sector focuses on reducing gaps between Geumgo branches. Co-growth among local communities, Saemaeul Geumgo, and the Central Association is also a key priority. Financial support for the financially marginalized and small business owners will be actively implemented. The strategy also includes increasing support for financially vulnerable rural and fishing villages or small-scale Geumgo branches to achieve balanced development.

Meanwhile, President Park took office as the 17th President of Saemaeul Geumgo Central Association in 2018. After his successful re-election, he held the inauguration ceremony for the 18th term on the 15th at the Saemaeul Geumgo Central Association in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, expressing his gratitude by saying, "I sincerely thank the Saemaeul Geumgo members who have given me another opportunity."
