President Kim Shin of SK Securities Co.

SK Securities Co. has been working on its diverse social services to make itself a sustainable growth company centered around the Voluntary Social Service Group kicked off in 2004.  SK Securities has required its members to allocate at least eight hours for social service work every year.

SK Group and SK Securities have been carrying out diverse social service projects run by the departments and centers and sometimes those drawn up by “employee-led” social service clubs.

The officers and staff of the securities firm have been managing the “SK Happiness Sharing Bazaar” for 13 years. They donate clothes and other things so that the money raised from the sales of all donated materials finds its way to charity, neighbors in need of assistance. 

The company has also been undertaking other diverse social service work including the Happiness Sharing CMA; the Collection of Changes from Salaries; and Continuing Love for Senior Citizens Living Alone.

The money accrued from the Happiness Sharing CMA program has been given to the foundations for the disabled, the Senior Citizens Welfare Association and the Aid Children groups and other charity organizations named by the customers of the securities firm.

“The Collection of Changes from Salaries Campaign” has been donating the collected money to neighbors in need and staff have been contributing to the campaign on each pay day of the month, and the company matches the money raised by the employees.

The Continuing Love for Senior Citizens Living Alone Program has been in operation since 2011. The consultants at the SK Securities Call Center make phone calls to senior citizens who live alone. If no none picks up the phone three attempts in a row, they alert the local welfare center to check on them. They take care of their problems, especially those in need of foods and those who are ill. They also help them cope with seasonal changes, especially during the winter, including getting electric blankets from community centers for free and how to access financial support to pay electricity bills.

All the officers and staff of SK Securities donated their blood during the MERs epidemic in Korea last year to help resolve a shortage of donated blood.

SK Securities declared that the company will do all it can to see that everyone in society is paying attention to society and neighbors.
