In the area of housing, Seoul Guarantee is participating in the Seoul Housing Safety Companion public-private partnership project to address blind spots in housing welfare, sponsoring 150 million won for construction and material costs. The company continues to carry out customized projects to improve residential environments, such as enhancing facilities at local children's centers and group homes.
As a partner in shared growth, employees serve as a focal point in promoting a culture of coexistence and sharing with neighbors. Employees have voluntarily organized the "SGI Dream Partners" volunteer group and are engaged in a variety of volunteer activities. Since its launch in 2016, SGI Dream Partners recorded a cumulative total of 2,219 participants and 11,400 volunteer hours through 2024.
The group focuses on environmental activities such as tree planting for urban forests and beach clean-ups at Silmido. They also engage in non-face-to-face activities, including donating solar-powered lanterns assembled by members and producing upcycled card wallets.
Employees also contribute to environmental protection in their daily lives by using bicycles and stairs, and by using mugs and tumblers. The points they accumulate from these activities, matched with company donations, are given to environmental organizations, thereby sharing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values both inside and outside the company.
As a partner for mutual growth, Seoul Guarantee collaborates with various external organizations to support promising companies. The company is committed to building a cooperative business ecosystem by providing guarantees to exporting small and medium-sized enterprises, startups, and local SMEs.
Lee Myungsoon, CEO of Seoul Guarantee, stated, "Based on our vision of 'WITH SGI,' which aims for growth together with various stakeholders, Seoul Guarantee is dedicated to realizing social value and pursuing mutual growth management. We will continue to carry out diverse social contribution activities that provide practical assistance to vulnerable groups."
