KB Insurance Promotes Mutual Growth with Small Business Owners through "Creating Safe Stores"

KB Insurance announced on September 25 that it will implement the "Creating Safe Stores" social contribution project to improve the fire-prone environment of traditional markets ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

"Creating Safe Stores" is a social contribution initiative by KB Insurance that aims to prevent fires and various accidents and create a safer business environment by inspecting key safety elements such as electrical wiring, gas pipes, and fire safety facilities in small business stores that require safety inspections. The project has been ongoing for two consecutive years since last year.

KB Insurance conducted a "Creating Safe Stores" project on the 24th targeting traditional markets and nearby shops located in Uijeongbu City, the home base of the KB Stars volleyball team.

The previous afternoon, KB Insurance conducted safety inspections at 20 traditional market stores and nearby shops located in Uijeongbu City, the home city of the KB Stars volleyball team. The inspection was attended by KB Insurance President Koo Bonwook, Uijeongbu Mayor Kim Donggeun, and KB Stars volleyball team players Na Kyungbok, Lim Sungjin, and Cha Youngseok.

KB Insurance will take responsibility for supporting facility improvements and providing follow-up management for stores where risk factors are identified during the safety inspections. Within this year, the company plans to install fire-retardant covers at approximately 200 outdoor traditional market stores to help reduce initial damage by preventing the spread of fire. Through these efforts, the company expects to prevent casualties and property damage in advance and contribute to the spread of a safety culture in the local commercial district.

KB Insurance President Koo Bonwook stated, "Through this Creating Safe Stores project, we hope that small business owners and citizens can use traditional markets with peace of mind," adding, "KB Insurance will continue to promote mutual growth with small business owners and carry out a variety of social contribution activities to spread a culture of safety in local communities."
