Shinhan Financial Group and SK Group agreed to jointly set up a 20 billion won civilian fund to lead the creation of an investment fund that is good-hearted, rather than the funds that only seek profits, and signed an agreement to that end on Nov. 13.
In putting their signatures on the agreement, Chairman Cho Yong-byoung and Chairman Chey Tae-won swore that the fund will go to the business firms highly motivated social service programs to make the financial market more warm-hearted.
Vice President Jin Ok-dong of Shinhan Financial Group said they will set up a platform to financial support socially motivated business firms amounting to some 300 billion won in the next five years.
¡°Social finance¡± means not only monetary terms, but also the finance that seeks social value along with financial interest.
The loans from the fund will go to the firms with thick social service motivation and cooperatives that provide support to economically distressed people, especially jobs. In addition, the fund will also be provided as investments or donations to those socially-minded firms.
The government early in the year announced that it will set up a 300 billion won ¡°Social base fund¡± in the next five years to fund the program, ¡°The Vitalization of the Social Finance¡± Shinhan Financial officials said the fund they will set up jointly with SK Group has nothing to do with the fund to be set up by the government, but they will participate in the government program to create the social financial fund to help the economically distressed people and those who invests in the fund are welcome to make contributions to solving social problems and sharing profits from the fund.
Together with all affiliates of the group, Shinhan Financial Group is participating in the activities for growing together with local communities. The three themes include ¡¯Coexistence¡¯ for the socially disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, ¡¯Sympathy¡¯ for preserving the traditional values and cultures, and ¡¯Symbiosis¡¯ for awakening the importance of the environment.
¡°We are making continuous efforts to become a global financial leader that fulfill social responsibilities by planning diverse programs participated by the employees of group companies, as well as customers and partner companies.¡± the group said.
Under ¡°Pursuit of Happiness¡± social service programs, the group has been channeling diverse social service activities thru ¡°Happy Lunch Box¡± and ¡°Happy School¡¯s programs¡± for children going without lunch.
The group either sets up social enterprises in cooperation with the government, civil organizations and regional society, or goes it alone, along with its related firms, to establish social enterprises. As of the end of last year, the group managed 15 social enterprises, employing 1,500 people, which all provide social services in diverse areas of society.
The group recently set up ¡°Happiness Alliance¡± a social alliance to solve various social problems, whose members include GS25, Dongbu Fire and Marine Insurance, Vitamin Angels and the Soongsil University. Altogether there are 14 business firms and one university.
The alliance unites all of the social service activities provided by each member and brings them under one roof, which boosts resources and overall capacity.
