신한금융그룹이 지역 사회연대경제에 3년간 60억원을 투자한다.
Shinhan Financial Group announced on July 8 that it will invest 6 billion won over three years to support the community solidarity economy, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in Daegu's Dong-gu Ansim Village.
Ansim Village, where the agreement ceremony took place, has developed a self-sustaining network of over 20 social economy enterprises and civic groups, including a daycare center, library, café, restaurant, and solar power plant, since residents established a cooperative in 2008.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety praised the village as a model of community-driven development, selecting it as a site for its 'local circular economy construction' innovation project.
Through the Shinhan Hope Foundation, Shinhan Financial will invest 2 billion won annually for three years, marking a rare commitment from a private financial group to long-term investment in the community solidarity economy in partnership with the government.
The support will focus on three areas: energy efficiency (Energy Impact), business development and job creation for solidarity economy organizations (Base Impact), and public-private collaboration to address community issues (Social Impact).
The signing ceremony was attended by Minister of the Interior and Safety Yoon Ho-jung, Shinhan Financial Group Chairman Jin Ok-dong, as well as officials from Daegu and Ansim Village, and local residents. They discussed ways to advance the Daegu model of local circular economy during a field meeting.
A Shinhan Financial representative stated, "For the solidarity economy to grow, participation from the private sector is essential alongside government support," and expressed commitment to actively collaborate with the Ministry to help the community build a sustainable development foundation.
