Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Laos Embrace 'Happy Sharing' Movement... BNK Capital Spreads ESG Practice of 'K-Finance'

Over 4,000 Employee Clothing and Household Items Donated to Southeast Asian Elementary Schools

More than 1,000 Korean Language Books Gifted to Kazakhstan Amid Hallyu Wave

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Are you familiar with the global social contribution project ‘Happy Sharing,’ which spreads happiness even to low-income countries overseas? It’s not just the Korean Wave sweeping through global culture and arts, but there is also ‘K-Finance.’

On the 7th, BNK Capital held the ‘2022 BNK Happy Sharing’ event, a global sharing program, to practice ESG management.

BNK Happy Sharing is a global social contribution project conducted by BNK Capital targeting underprivileged groups in regions where it has expanded overseas. In 2018 and 2019, it delivered over 10,000 items including employees’ personal belongings and clothing.

In 2020, to support COVID-19 prevention, it donated 110,000 masks and quarantine supplies overseas.

This year’s event plans to deliver about 4,000 items such as clothing and daily necessities donated by BNK Capital employees to elementary schools in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.

Considering the Korean Wave cultural boom in Kazakhstan, where BNK Capital entered in 2018, it plans to donate about 1,000 Korean language books to the local Korean language education center.

BNK Capital CEO Lee Doo-ho said, “I am pleased that the Happy Sharing event, which all employees participate in together, has become an important corporate culture for our company,” and added, “We will lead the K-Finance wave by preparing various global programs.”
