Providing Language Education for Employees by Hiring New English Assistants for Disabled Persons

Hanwha Investment & Securities announced on the 18th that it has achieved a 100% mandatory employment rate for persons with disabilities by practicing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities that fulfill social responsibility.

The mandatory employment system for persons with disabilities requires private companies with 50 or more regular employees to employ persons with disabilities for at least 3.1% of their total workforce, according to the Act on the Promotion of Employment and Vocational Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons. Hanwha Investment & Securities recognized that jobs for persons with disabilities are essential means of livelihood for living in society and important factors for improving quality of life and expanding social relationships, and has made efforts to achieve the mandatory employment rate. In particular, Hanwha Investment & Securities plans to provide language education to its employees by newly hiring an in-house assistant English instructor along with additional employment in existing positions.

Based on the philosophy of "Together, Far," Hanwha Investment & Securities is taking the lead in protecting the rights and interests of socially marginalized groups. Since 2014, through the annual "Volunteer Week," it has been conducting volunteer activities and delivering donations for marginalized groups, and is carrying out the eco-friendly social contribution activity "Children Green Leader" for children in childcare facilities in Seoul. In addition, the company continuously operates the "La Pol Program," where employees produce donated goods and deliver them to places in need such as local children's centers, infant shelters, and overseas children, and "Blooming Day," where employees purchase flowers from struggling flower farms, create flower boxes, and deliver them with warm messages to neighbors in need of support.

Shin Choong-seop, Executive Director of the Management Support Office at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said, "Hanwha Investment & Securities strives to fulfill social responsibility based on the social contribution philosophy of 'Together, Far.' Following the pioneering achievement of a 100% mandatory employment rate for persons with disabilities in the securities industry, we will continue to actively carry out various activities and support for socially marginalized groups."
