NH Nonghyup Financial Group is taking steps to establish a model for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) collaboration focused on workplace safety.
On July 30, NH Nonghyup Financial announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency to enhance support for industrial safety in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
This agreement aims to align with the government's comprehensive workplace safety measures.
The two organizations plan to create a public-private partnership support system that fosters a virtuous cycle from corporate safety management investments to tangible economic benefits and the internalization of ESG management.
The agency will be responsible for identifying exemplary companies engaged in safety management activities.
NH Nonghyup Financial will offer preferential loan products to those companies recommended by the agency for their outstanding safety management practices.
Additionally, both organizations plan to collaborate to address safety blind spots in agricultural sites and food businesses, which are relatively vulnerable to disasters.
Lee Chan-woo, Chairman of NH Nonghyup Financial, stated, "This agreement will not only support the industrial safety system in our society but also serve as a catalyst for enhancing the ESG capabilities of SMEs. We will contribute to fostering a culture where industrial safety becomes a core competitive advantage for businesses."
