SM Group's manufacturing and service subsidiary, SM Credit Information, has received certification as an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practicing company from the Korean Red Cross.
On the 26th, SM Credit Information held a certification ceremony at its headquarters in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, where CEO Gong Mun-yong and Kim In-sook, head of the Red Cross's Sharing Planning Team, along with key executives from both organizations, expressed their commitment to ongoing charitable activities and collaboration.
The Red Cross's ESG practicing company program awards certification to businesses that contribute to society and create public value through regular monthly donations and other initiatives. SM Credit Information aims to enhance its capabilities in social contribution, reflecting the emphasis placed by SM Group Chairman Woo Oh-hyun on coexistence and mutual growth as a key management priority.
Funds raised through SM Credit Information's regular donations will be prioritized for families in crisis and neighbors in welfare blind spots who have not received adequate support. Both organizations are committed to providing tailored welfare services that go beyond basic livelihood support, including emotional care, medical expense assistance, and improvements to living conditions.
CEO Gong stated, "The Red Cross's regular donations represent a concrete example of the company's pursuit of social responsibility, as it goes beyond simple charity to share warmth and communicate with the community. We will continue to plan and operate various ESG programs to ensure that the positive impact of these efforts reaches more neighbors in need."
Founded in 1999, SM Credit Information specializes in debt collection, credit investigation, and asset management services. It became part of SM Group in December 2015.
