Employees voluntarily engage in volunteer work and sharing activities according to weekly changing themes and locations.

On January 13th and 14th, the first volunteer activity of the year, the "2024 New Year's Environmental Cleanup Volunteer Activity at Our Branch," was held, with 26 employees participating to collect trash from side streets, sidewalks, and alleys adjacent to underperforming branches.

A total of 949 employees participated in the "BNK Social Contribution Day, Love Sharing Volunteer Activity," which involves employees from all BNK Financial Group affiliates, practicing activities such as sharing care packages, clothing and miscellaneous goods, and blood donation.

In particular, during the care package sharing event held on the 20th, BNK Financial Group employees packed 14 essential items including instant rice, abalone porridge, and cooking oil into boxes at Masan Indoor Gymnasium and Ulsan Metropolitan City Council Citizen Hall to create the care packages themselves.

Care packages worth approximately 307.5 million KRW were delivered to a total of 6,150 vulnerable households in cities and counties of Gyeongsangnam-do and the Ulsan area.

On the 29th of last month, 264 BNK Gyeongnam Bank employees donated 1,457 items of clothing and miscellaneous goods collected through sharing to the Beautiful Store Gyeongnam Headquarters.

The donated clothing and goods were sold through the Beautiful Store, and all proceeds were used to support vulnerable groups in the region.

Earlier, among employees who applied for blood donation, 41 eligible employees personally practiced the noble act of sharing life by donating blood over three days starting from the 17th.

During the last weekend of January, 37 employees conducted "Lunar New Year Environmental Cleanup Volunteer Activities" near their residences at traditional markets, stations, terminals, and adjacent side streets, sidewalks, and alleys to support local residents including returning visitors and market merchants.

According to the tally, a total of 1,012 BNK Gyeongnam Bank employees participated in volunteer activities throughout January.

This marks a significant increase compared to last year, when only about 1,000 employees participated in volunteer activities.

Jae-moon Lim, Executive Director of the Management Strategy Headquarters, said, "In 2024, the Year of the Blue Dragon, the valuable volunteer work and sharing by employees who share love with neighbors in need and spread hope in the region will grow even more. Going forward, all BNK Gyeongnam Bank employees plan to actively participate in volunteer work to spread the positive influence of 'happiness' in the local community."

He added, "We will do our best to make volunteer activities more systematic and efficient. Additionally, we will promote various themed volunteer activities that provide fun and enjoyment while allowing participants to feel a sense of fulfillment and achievement."

Meanwhile, in the 3rd and 4th weeks of February, plans are underway to conduct "Rainwater (Usu) Seasonal Environmental Cleanup Volunteer Activities" for local streams, rivers, and seas, as well as "Jeongwol Daeboreum Seasonal Environmental Cleanup Volunteer Activities" at local traditional markets and marts.
