[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] KB Securities has partnered with the non-governmental organization (NGO) 'Save the Children' to create school environments suitable for play culture.

On the 6th, KB Securities announced on the 9th that it signed a business agreement for the 'Rainbow Classroom' with Save the Children at the KB Securities headquarters in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Attending the event were KB Securities co-CEOs Jung Rim Park and Seonghyun Kim, as well as Save the Children Secretary-General Taeyoung Jung.

Through this business agreement, KB Securities plans to expand from its existing local children's center environment improvement projects to school play environment improvement projects, supporting the creation of play spaces and the enhancement of play culture within elementary schools. Three elementary schools nationwide have been selected to implement the 'Rainbow Classroom' program. The Rainbow Classroom is KB Securities' flagship social contribution project aimed at improving the educational environment for children from vulnerable groups. Since its inception in 2009, a total of 18 locations domestically and internationally have been opened.

CEOs Park and Kim stated, "We will actively lead efforts to create child-friendly school environments that support children's rights to leisure and play, promoting co-growth through cooperation with local governments, individual schools, and communities, and striving to create social value based on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles."
