Naver Achieves 'Highest' Grade for 8 Consecutive Years in Win-Win Growth Index Evaluation

Naver announced on the 8th that it received the highest grade in the Win-Win Growth Index evaluation last year.

Naver has achieved the highest grade in the Win-Win Growth Index evaluation for eight consecutive years since 2017. It is the only company in the internet platform industry to do so.

In particular, Naver received positive evaluations for leading fast settlements to support smooth cash flow for e-commerce sellers and for continuously enhancing SME growth support programs at each business stage.

Since launching Fast Settlement in 2020, Naver has established a stable settlement system by prepaying 40 trillion KRW to 120,000 small business owners cumulatively. Assuming the same amount of settlement funds were treated as pre-settlement loans, the Fast Settlement service is estimated to have generated a financial cost reduction effect of 180 billion KRW.

Additionally, since 2016, Naver has expanded the philosophy of 'Project Kkot,' which supports the digital transformation and sustainable growth of SMEs and creators, into its services and businesses. To provide tailored programs for businesses at each stage from startup to maturity, Naver has advanced SME support programs such as 'SME Brand Launcher,' 'Brand Booster,' and 'AI RIDE.'

Cha Seon-ju, Head of Naver's External and ESG Policy, stated, "We will continue to strengthen the win-win ecosystem and solidify a virtuous cycle structure where Naver and various partners grow together."
