NH Investment & Securities held a refrigerator delivery ceremony at Jeongseon County Office on the afternoon of the previous day, attended by Kim Yong-gi, Vice President of NH Investment & Securities, and Choi Seung-jun, Mayor of Jeongseon-gun. The refrigerator delivery event in Jeongseon-gun was the last village community support project of the year, delivering a total of 352 refrigerators to six counties. NH Investment & Securities delivered refrigerators to Namhae-gun in Gyeongnam, Yesan-gun in Chungnam, Gangjin-gun in Jeonnam, Goryeong-gun in Gyeongbuk, and Imsil-gun in Jeonbuk, selecting regions based on population statistics from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. The priority was determined by applying weighted factors comprehensively reflecting aging rates, single elderly household ratios, absolute population numbers and population decline trends, and financial independence.

NH Investment & Securities plans to continue its village community support projects in the future. Kim Yong-gi, Vice President of NH Investment & Securities, stated, "The rural village community support project is one of NH Investment & Securities’ representative social contribution activities, and we will continue to carry out ongoing rural support projects."

As part of the NongHyup Group, NH Investment & Securities practices social responsibility activities including helping with rural labor and supporting farming households. From 2019 for three years, it supported the replacement of aging cooking facilities in rural village communities (village halls, senior centers) with electric ranges (induction cooktops), and since 2022, it has supported refrigerators, which are durable goods installed in senior centers. From 2019 to 2021, a total of 1,263 induction cooktops were delivered, and from 2022 over two years, a total of 720 refrigerators were provided.
