[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] NH Nonghyup Bank announced on the 7th that it has signed a business agreement with the Korea Environment Corporation to jointly promote energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction.
Through this agreement, Nonghyup Bank will offer a 0.1% point interest rate discount on credit loans starting from the 10th of this month to individuals who have joined the 'Carbon Point System'. In the future, the bank plans to expand financial benefits to include deposit interest rates and preferential exchange rates.
This agreement is a mutual cooperation between the Korea Environment Corporation, which is promoting the expansion of the 'Carbon Point System', and Nonghyup Bank, which is actively pursuing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management. It is expected to greatly contribute to the expansion of 'Carbon Point System' membership.
The 'Carbon Point System' is a nationwide greenhouse gas reduction program promoted by the government. Individuals such as household heads can apply to participate and receive points based on their reduction achievements in electricity, gas, and water usage at homes or apartment complexes. These points can later be redeemed for incentives such as cash or gift certificates.
Kwon Junhak, President of Nonghyup Bank, stated, “Since the 'Carbon Point System' is a program that allows ordinary households to easily practice greenhouse gas reduction, we will actively promote it to customers using Nonghyup and provide financial benefits upon enrollment, aiming to become a leading bank in realizing a carbon-neutral society.”
