Korea Housing Finance Corporation Develops HF Human Rights Management Index to Strengthen Human Rights Management

Achieved 100% of the Target for "Efforts to Support Human Rights Management for Vulnerable Borrowers"

Korea Housing Finance Corporation (HF) announced on the 16th that it will strengthen human rights management through the development of the HF Human Rights Management Index and quantitative evaluation of it.

The HF Human Rights Management Index was developed last year by the HF Housing Finance Research Institute of the corporation, with external expert consultation, to quantify the corporation's human rights management performance and to understand and improve the level of human rights management.

This index is calculated by evaluating ▲ human rights impact assessment results ▲ human rights management efforts ▲ human rights management perception ▲ human rights violation status, and then summing each score.

Based on the developed index, Korea Housing Finance Corporation conducted a self-assessment of last year's performance and received an "Excellent (S)" grade. In particular, the task of "Efforts to support vulnerable borrowers' finance and recovery" in the human rights management efforts category achieved 100% of its target.

The task "Efforts to support vulnerable borrowers' finance and recovery" includes the proportion of policy mortgage preferential interest rate supply to vulnerable groups, the proportion of preferential housing pension supply, and the number of debt adjustment cases.

President Kim Kyunghwan said, "Taking the development of an index that can measure human rights management performance as an opportunity, we will promote even stronger human rights management," and added, "The corporation will play a leading role in spreading a culture of respect for human rights in the public sector."

HF Corporation has continuously made efforts in human rights management for internal and external stakeholders, such as obtaining the Health-Friendly Company Certification and the International Standard Certification for Customer Satisfaction Management System (ISO 10002) in 2024.
