BNK Gyeongnam Bank Practices ESG Management... Conducts 'Nanum Walking Donation Challenge'

Employees and Families' Step Goal

Raising Donations by Reaching 53 Million Steps

BNK Gyeongnam Bank announced on the 31st that it is conducting the 'Sharing Walk Donation Challenge' until June 30 as part of its ESG management practice.

The Sharing Walk Donation Challenge is a new trend social contribution activity where participants set a target number of steps in advance using a dedicated step-counting app (Walkon App) and donate a certain amount when they achieve the target steps.

Employees and their families voluntarily participate in the Sharing Walk Donation Challenge to reach the target of 53 million steps and raise donation funds.

The donation amount of 10 million KRW, to be raised upon achieving the goal, will be used as educational support funds for students with health disabilities.

BNK Gyeongnam Bank planned the Sharing Walk Donation Challenge in 2021 when face-to-face social contribution activities became difficult due to COVID-19, allowing employees and their families to participate individually and voluntarily, and has been conducting it annually.

Jae-moon Lim, Executive Director of the Management Planning Headquarters, said, “The Sharing Walk Donation Challenge is a good example of social contribution activities that reduce carbon emissions through walking while supporting socially vulnerable groups with the raised donations. BNK Gyeongnam Bank employees and their families plan to actively participate in the Sharing Walk Donation Challenge, which starts on the 22nd, the bank’s founding anniversary, and runs for a total of 40 days.”

Separately from the Sharing Walk Donation Challenge, BNK Gyeongnam Bank is conducting the ‘ESG Practice Day Campaign’ with themes such as reducing disposable products and avoiding food waste to practice BNK Financial Group’s management philosophy of ‘Right Finance.’

Additionally, from June 1 to the end of August, the bank will carry out the ‘BNK Earth Hour Campaign,’ during which all signboards at all BNK Gyeongnam Bank branches, including branches, sales offices, cash collection counters, and unmanned stores, will be turned off simultaneously.
