Hana Financial Group Conducts Sharing Activities with 'Championship' ESG Donations

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hana Financial Group announced on the 27th that it has continued various sharing activities using the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) donation funds raised through the eco-friendly golf tournament "Hana Financial Group Championship," held over four days from the 30th of last month at Adonis Country Club in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province.

The "Hana Financial Group Championship," held with a total prize money of 1.5 billion KRW, the largest scale for a domestic tournament, showcased various recycled products and eco-friendly items made from leftover mask fabric and defective masks, and conducted donation fundraising events to practice ESG. It was held as an eco-friendly golf tournament to actively implement and spread Hana Financial Group's ESG vision.

In particular, a matching donation event aligned with the participating players and Hana Financial Group’s ESG goals, additional donations from Hana Financial Group based on players’ birdies and eagles, and an ESG golf quiz game featuring key players on Hana Financial Group’s official YouTube channel "HanaTV" raised a total of 60 million KRW in ESG donations.

Using the raised donation funds, Hana Financial Group donated various items to about 1,000 vulnerable elderly living alone and children in the Pocheon area. The donated items included daily necessities such as rice and fruits produced in the Pocheon region, as well as cold-weather supplies like hand warmers and umbrellas, making it a community-based sharing effort with added significance.

Kim Jung-tae, Chairman of Hana Financial Group, stated, “Hana Financial Group will continue to take the lead in environmental and social responsibilities and roles through diverse and proactive practices to spread the group’s ESG vision.”

Meanwhile, at the eco-friendly golf tournament "Hana Bank Invitational," held over four days from the 21st of this month, a total of 40 million KRW in ESG donations was raised. Hana Financial Group plans to use goods worth a total of 100 million KRW to support socially vulnerable groups, elderly living alone, children, and single mothers.
