Korea Venture Investment Holds Volunteer Group Launch Ceremony... "Will Serve as a Catalyst for Spreading ESG Values"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea Venture Investment Corp (KVIC), the operator of the Korea Fund of Funds, announced on the 18th that it held the 'KVIC Together! Volunteer Corps Launch Ceremony.' Considering the COVID-19 situation, the launch ceremony was conducted both offline and through online non-face-to-face participation.

The first volunteer corps started with 33 members, who voluntarily applied from among KVIC employees. In the future, the volunteer corps will be expanded not only to KVIC employees but also to members of the venture investment ecosystem, such as venture capital (VC) firms.

For one year, the volunteer corps plans to carry out social contribution activities for socially disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in the local community, while also striving to create KVIC-type social value, including ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) perspectives.

During the event, KVIC signed a business agreement with the Seocho-gu Volunteer Center to promote a culture of social contribution.

Lee Young-min, CEO of Korea Venture Investment, said, "Starting with the volunteer corps, we plan to expand social contribution activities," adding, "As a public institution, we will fulfill our social responsibilities and become a catalyst for spreading ESG values in the local community."
