[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Hanwha Financial announced on the 22nd that employees of its affiliates (Hanwha Life Insurance, Hanwha General Insurance, Hanwha Investment & Securities, Hanwha Asset Management, Hanwha Savings Bank) have started volunteer activities to nurture and document the 'Yeouido Saetgang' in order to protect the natural ecosystem within the city.

The company emphasized that this program, based on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), holds significant meaning as the employees themselves protect the Saetgang adjacent to Yeouido, where Hanwha Financial affiliates are concentrated.

The Saetgang Guardian program, starting in September, will be conducted in cooperation with 'World Vision' and the 'Social Cooperative Hangang.'

Saetgang refers to a river branch that splits from the main river, forming an island in the middle, and then merges back into the main river downstream. The most well-known Yeouido Saetgang has recently been recognized for its ecological importance, with various birds and fish, including otters, being discovered there.

The company explained that the purpose of the newly launched Yeouido Saetgang volunteer activity is to protect the habitats of otters, which are at the top of the river ecosystem, thereby safeguarding organisms at lower levels of the food chain as well.

Going forward, Hanwha Life Insurance plans to carry out various activities to protect the Saetgang, such as nurturing young trees in the Saetgang, monitoring Saetgang fish, and monitoring Saetgang birds.
