Kyobo Securities Launches Eco-Friendly 'Green Race' Challenge

Kyobo Securities announced on the 10th that it will hold the "2nd Dream Green Race" to foster an eco-friendly corporate culture in line with its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management strategy.

The event will run until August 10 and was planned to practice Kyobo Securities' ESG management goal of "responsible actions that create positive changes for society, the environment, and the world." The Green Race is an event where employees accumulate points by practicing eco-friendly activities in their daily lives and donate the points for sustainable growth.

There are 25 mission activities, including separating recyclables, planting trees, purchasing low-carbon certified products, and using public transportation, with points ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 awarded depending on the level of participation. Employees register their completed activities weekly on the company intranet, aiming to accumulate up to 50,000 points per person per week. The accumulated points will be converted into donations used for ecosystem restoration, planting melliferous trees to protect forests and bees, and biodiversity conservation activities.

Lee Seok-ki, CEO of Kyobo Securities, said, "When all employees and their families accumulate small daily practices and spread them around, it greatly helps preserve the environment," adding, "We will continue various activities to take the lead in ESG management."

Meanwhile, last year's 1st Green Race Challenge saw a total of 3,307 environmental protection activities carried out. The accumulated donation of 10 million KRW was delivered to the Environmental Foundation, which is preparing to establish the 2050 Carbon Neutral Complex Space 'Eco Campus.'
