Shinhan Life announced on the 27th that it won the ‘Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) Commissioner Award’ for the second consecutive year at the ‘1 Company 1 School Financial Education Excellence Awards Ceremony’ held at the Financial Supervisory Service in Yeouido, Seoul on the 26th.
The FSS operates financial education programs to promote and enhance the 1 Company 1 School financial education initiative, discovering and disseminating excellent educational cases, and selects and awards outstanding financial companies and individuals who have achieved remarkable results.
Shinhan Life has been conducting education by partnering with each school to help students develop a correct understanding of finance and cultivate sound financial habits. This year, professional instructors visited schools in person to provide face-to-face financial education to 17,604 students, an increase of about 50% compared to last year.
By training retired middle-aged and senior individuals as senior assistant instructors and deploying them additionally to education sites, Shinhan Life created senior jobs and expanded the number of students educated in provincial areas by more than 70% compared to the previous year, focusing on bridging the educational benefit gap between the metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas. This effort was recognized, leading to its selection as an outstanding financial company.
A Shinhan Life official stated, “Establishing correct financial values for future generations through financial education is an important role of the financial industry practicing social responsibility and a part of win-win finance. We will continue to pay attention to school sites and local communities and strive even harder to eliminate blind spots in financial education.”
