The Family-Friendly Certification is a government program that recognizes companies or public institutions that exemplarily operate family-friendly systems, such as supporting childbirth and childcare, and implementing flexible work arrangements.


Industrial Bank of Korea was recognized for not only fulfilling its legal obligations as a public institution but also for establishing a culture that enables a balance between work and family life.


In particular, the bank's voluntary disclosure of this certification in the capital market provided an opportunity to transparently demonstrate its non-financial achievements from an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) perspective.


The bank stated that it has implemented practical family-friendly policies that employees can genuinely experience.


Key examples include establishing a culture of leaving work on time through the introduction of a PC-off system, expanding childcare policies to address the low birthrate issue, and fostering a healthy work environment by promoting flexible work arrangements.



A representative from Industrial Bank of Korea said, "This certification is significant as it goes beyond a mere administrative procedure and serves as official recognition from the government as a family-friendly workplace. Moving forward, we will continue to create a virtuous cycle that enhances employee engagement and customer service quality by maintaining a balance between work and family life."
