NH Investment & Securities - Nonghyup Foundation, Launch Rural Village Support Project

NH Investment & Securities announced on the 19th that it donated 59 refrigerators to village communities in Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. NH Investment & Securities held a refrigerator delivery ceremony at the Goesan County Office on the same day, attended by Bae Bu-yeol, Vice President of NH Investment & Securities, and Song In-heon, Governor of Goesan County.

This delivery ceremony is the third following Bonghwa-gun in Gyeongbuk and Goheung-gun in Jeonnam. NH Investment & Securities plans to deliver a total of 360 refrigerators to six counties this year. The selection of regions is based on comprehensive criteria using population statistics from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, including the aging rate, the proportion of elderly living alone, absolute population numbers and population decline trends, and financial independence, with weighted priorities applied.

As part of the Nonghyup Group, NH Investment & Securities actively practices social responsibility activities including supporting farm labor and assisting farming households. The company plans to continue supporting village community projects in the future.

Since 2019, NH Investment & Securities has been conducting rural village community support projects targeting village halls and senior centers nationwide in cooperation with the Nonghyup Foundation. Over the past three years, it has replaced outdated cooking facilities in rural village communities (village halls, senior centers) with electric ranges (induction cooktops), and since 2022, it has supported refrigerators, which are durable goods installed in senior centers.

NH Investment & Securities supported a total of 1,263 induction cooktops in 2019 (413 units), 2020 (425 units), and 2021 (425 units), as well as 360 refrigerators in 2022.

Meanwhile, NH Investment & Securities is fulfilling its social responsibilities such as supporting rural village communities and farm labor in line with the 'ESG Transformation 2025' vision declared by NH Nonghyup Financial Group.

The company continues to assist labor-short rural areas through the 'Creating Villages Together' initiative and has also delivered donations through voluntary participation of its employees. Additionally, in February of this year, it provided entrance congratulatory encouragement funds to low-income youth entering university, continuing its social responsibility activities.
