Maston Asset Management Conducts 'Goods Donation Campaign' for 3 Consecutive Years... "Contributing to Natural Circulation and Employment Creation for Disabled"

Mastern Investment Management announced on the 19th that it will carry out a goods donation campaign for the third consecutive year, following 2022 and 2023.

Mastern Investment Management is collaborating with the Goodwill Store to run the "Together Goods Donation Campaign Season 3" until the end of October. This campaign was planned under the leadership of Mastern Investment Management's Brand Strategy Team. By conducting it for three consecutive years, it has established itself as the company's flagship CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) project. The project, which focuses on resource circulation and job creation for people with disabilities, is considered a rare initiative in the alternative investment management industry for being carried out three years in a row.

The Goodwill Store is a social enterprise operated by the Milal Welfare Foundation and functions as a workplace for people with disabilities, funded by the proceeds from selling items donated by individuals and companies. It promotes the positive catchphrase "Not charity, but opportunity." Donated items are resold at reasonable prices, and the profits are actively used to support the independence of people with developmental disabilities by employing and training them as staff.

The Brand Strategy Team of Mastern Investment Management placed large donation boxes and donation envelopes on three floors of the company's headquarters office located on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Employees can simply put the items they wish to donate into the donation envelopes, seal them, and place them in the donation boxes. Various items such as clothing, accessories, small electronics, household goods, and books can be donated. Donors may also receive tax deduction benefits during year-end tax settlements.

Namgung Hoon, CEO of Mastern Investment Management, said, "Due to the high response and participation of our employees, we decided to carry out the campaign for three consecutive years in partnership with the Goodwill Store," adding, "This is not a one-time event but a representative CSR project that the company pursues with sincerity, and we will wholeheartedly participate in the campaign."

Meanwhile, Mastern Investment Management's Brand Strategy Team is engaged in various activities to create SV (Social Value), including ▲ joining the UN Global Compact as the first asset management company ▲ hosting a sustainable management strategy symposium ▲ producing Braille business cards ▲ publishing a sustainability management report ▲ organizing disability awareness education ▲ conducting an in-house eco campaign "Be the Greens" ▲ holding seminars on sustainable design and circular economy.
