In the first part, Shinhan Financial shared the achievements of projects supporting vulnerable groups and crime victims in welfare blind spots in collaboration with the Korea Association of Social Welfare Centers and the National Police Agency. They also selected outstanding cases and awarded certificates of commendation to a total of 10 social workers and police officers in charge.

The second part featured the ‘Shinhan Honors Volunteer Club Awards Ceremony’ to encourage Shinhan Financial employees who delivered warm care through a total of 97,894 hours of volunteer work last year and to promote continuous interest and participation.

The Shinhan Honors Volunteer Club is a system that rewards employees based on their accumulated volunteer hours and frequency over three years. At the ceremony, Shinhan Financial presented plaques to 199 newly selected members this year (42 Silver, 157 Bronze), and especially for the Silver grade, a designated organization donation voucher worth 3 million KRW was also given as a prize.

The third part was the main event of the day, the ‘Beautiful Companionship Practice Proclamation Ceremony.’ Chairman Jin Ok-dong of Shinhan Financial Group, President Jeong Sang-hyeok of Shinhan Bank, and two representatives of the Shinhan Honors Volunteer Club signed a declaration pledging sharing and companionship with neighbors in need for a sustainable future, reaffirming Shinhan Financial’s philosophy and commitment.

Chairman Jin Ok-dong stated, “The greatest power to change the world begins with sharing warm hearts with diverse neighbors,” and added, “Shinhan Financial will continue to fulfill its social responsibilities as a corporate citizen and walk together in beautiful companionship with neighbors dreaming of a better future.”

At the end of the event, volunteer activities were conducted for the fourth campaign of the social contribution project ‘Leading by Example Relay,’ in which Shinhan Financial employees directly participate in proposing, fundraising, and practicing sharing. This campaign focused on ‘supporting the vulnerable with food, clothing, and shelter during winter.’

About 40 group presidents and Shinhan Honors Volunteer Club members invited 120 elderly people from vulnerable groups in the Susaek-dong area to a church located in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, where they prepared and delivered traditional holiday foods such as rice cake soup and galbitang (beef short rib soup) along with gift kits for the Lunar New Year. In addition, various supports will be provided using approximately 90 million KRW raised by employees and donations from the group.

A Shinhan Financial official said, “It was a proud and rewarding time to serve warm meals to the elderly ahead of the Lunar New Year,” and added, “Shinhan Financial employees will continue to take the lead with more attentive care to practice warm sharing with neighbors in need.”

Meanwhile, Shinhan Financial will conduct the ‘Lunar New Year Win-Win Campaign’ for one week starting from the 20th. Employees plan to purchase goods worth 50 million KRW in Onnuri gift certificates to support small merchants in Namdaemun Market and deliver them to vulnerable children, grandparent-headed families, and young caregivers.
