[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] The Korea Securities Depository (KSD) announced on the 20th that it received the Deputy Prime Minister for Social Affairs (Minister of Education) Award in the social contribution category at the ‘17th Korea Social Contribution Awards’ ceremony held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on December 19.

The Korea Social Contribution Awards aim to promote the culture of social contribution by discovering and publicizing individuals and organizations that have contributed to social development in various forms such as job creation, social contribution, and regional development.

KSD has been conducting financial education and scholarship projects for 14 years since establishing the public interest corporation ‘KSD Nanum Foundation’ in 2009 with the goal of ‘practicing warm capitalism.’

Additionally, through various contribution activities linked to government policies such as fostering innovative and startup companies, promoting regional community development, and practicing eco-friendly carbon neutrality, KSD is actively fulfilling its social responsibilities as a sound corporate citizen.

Myung-ho Lee, President of Korea Securities Depository, stated, “KSD focuses its social contribution activities on creating a foundation for socially vulnerable groups to become self-reliant, moving beyond simple donation acts,” and added, “We will not be complacent with this award and will continue to pursue social responsibility management while striving to lead ESG management within the capital market.”
