NH Bank achieved the milestone of having a one trillion won balance of NH Agro-Food Green Growth Loans on June 11.

The figure has been on a steep rise, surpassing one trillion won two months after surpassing 500 billion won in loan balances in the first four months after its launch in March.

The loan was given mainly to small and medium-sized business owners, farmers, and self-employed people.

NH Bank explained that it was meaningful to surpass one trillion won about seven months after its launch, considering that the average loan amount is 300 million won.

NH Bank has supported the growth of eco-friendly agro-food companies, renewable energy use companies and smart farms by funding more than two trillion won every year.

In addition, it has been leading the expansion of ESG management in the agricultural and agricultural sectors by providing customized management solutions to companies through agricultural and financial consulting.

The launch of NH Agro-Food Green Growth Loan and the achievement of one trillion won in the short term have solidified the foundation for the expansion of financial support for ESG management-practicing companies in the agricultural and agricultural sectors.

The lender’s total balance of loans to agricultural and food companies topped 26.5 trillion won as of June based on NH Agro-Food Green Growth Loan.

NH Bank will continue to help build an eco-friendly and low-carbon society by not only continuously providing funding as an agro-food financing bank but fostering green directors in the green field.

It will steadily find excellent companies in ESG management.

“We will do our best to support farmers and enhance the value of the agricultural industry in response to the government’s Green New Deal projects with a sense of mission to practice ESG management,” said Kwon Joon-hak, president of NH Bank.

SNS Event for Month of Patriots and War Veterans

NH Bank announced on June 6 that it will hold an SNS event in honor of June, the Month of Patriots and War Veterans in Korea until the end of June.

Those who want to participate in the event have to write messages of thanks to those who sacrificed themselves for the nation, their bereaved families, military servicemen and servicewomen, firefighters and medical staffs among others.

Through a raffle, 300 people will be selected and given flower boxes for the Month of Patriots and Veterans from the Korea Flower Farmers Cooperative Federation of Korea as prizes.

“We planned the event to shed new light on heroes and heroines of the Korean War who sacrificed themselves for the country in the Month of Patriots and War Veterans and thank many people now working for the country,” said Kwon Joon-hak, president of the bank.
