  • Hana Financial Group has launched an eco-friendly campaign called 'HANA Green Mate' for employees and customers.
  • The campaign encourages participation in 70 customized environmental tasks, ranging from reducing power consumption to adopting low-carbon diets.
  • Participants' efforts will be measured by their carbon reduction amounts, and the group will also support forest restoration by donating trees.

Hana Financial Group has initiated an everyday environmental initiative that links daily activities with conservation efforts. The 'HANA Green Mate' campaign, running from August 13 to September 30, invites both employees and the general public to participate in carbon-neutral practices.

A key feature of this campaign is its tailored approach, offering 70 specific environmental tasks based on participants' locations and situations. Group members can access a dedicated platform via QR code, select their current environment, and receive recommended eco-friendly tasks. These tasks span six categories, including reducing energy consumption, optimizing heating and cooling efficiency, saving resources through electronic documents, minimizing single-use items, utilizing eco-friendly transportation, and adopting low-carbon diets.

Upon completion of the campaign, Hana Financial Group plans to measure the greenhouse gas emission reductions based on the number of tasks completed and their quantitative results. A parallel initiative is open to the public, encouraging individuals to share their personal energy-saving tips on social media for a chance to win beverage coupons. Detailed information is available on the group's official website.

Furthermore, the group is extending its commitment to environmental improvement through a forest restoration project. This initiative directly aids in recovering natural ecosystems by donating trees to areas damaged by large-scale fires. A Hana Financial Group representative expressed hope that small changes in daily habits will lead to significant carbon emission reductions, pledging to continuously expand diverse environmental, social, and governance (ESG) programs accessible to all members of society.

We expect that small changes in habits will lead to tangible results in reducing carbon emissions, and we will continue to expand diverse environmental, social, and governance (ESG) programs that are easily accessible to all members of society.
