Moon Dong-kwon, CEO of Shinhan Card, visited a local children's center library ahead of Children's Day to improve the environment by tending to the flower beds.

Shinhan Card announced on the 26th that CEO Moon and employees participated in the environmental improvement volunteer activity for Shinhan Card's representative social contribution project, the 'Areumin Library.' The Areumin Library is an eco-friendly library established within the Maronie Local Children's Center for children and adolescents, aiming to reduce educational disparities and nurture future generations. It was created through salary donations from Shinhan Card employees.

CEO Moon delivered school supplies gifts to the Maronie Local Children's Center and organized the library shelves together with employees. They also supported new books for the library and tended to the flower beds. Since the local children's center is located in the city center surrounded by tall buildings, the intention was to create an eco-friendly garden and vegetable patch for the children using the library.

Meanwhile, Shinhan Card has raised a cumulative donation of 2.5 billion KRW over 21 years through its employee salary-sharing program. Among the total 545 Areumin Libraries opened so far, 11 were established through employee donations. The funds raised have supported not only the opening of libraries but also medical expenses for children suffering from rare and incurable diseases.

Shinhan Card also runs various programs to allow employees' families to participate in volunteer activities, and through the 'Customer Volunteer Group' operated since 2007, they regularly help neighbors in need every month.

A Shinhan Card official stated, “Going forward, Shinhan Card will continue to expand a corporate culture where all employees take the lead in volunteering and donating, in connection with Shinhan Financial Group’s ESG strategy.”
