Today, the society we live in is the soil and the stage of our corporate activities.

Therefore, providing our help to build a healthy society is an indispensable component of the continuity and development of Shinhan Bank as a socially responsible corporate citizen. The business of corporate social responsibility management is not something that must not necessarily be fulfilled but something that is essential for the growth and development of Shinhan Bank and its employees.

In July 2004, all our employees put their minds together and launched Shinhan Volunteer Team and also, began to deploy a larger scale of volunteer activity by relay since then. Furthermore, in 2005, in order to systemize these love sharing activities, < The white Paper on Social Contributions > for the first time in a financial institution¡¯s history and also < the Corporate Social Responsibility Report > that contained our vision and strategy for our social responsibilities.

Our employees who have participated in any type of volunteer work were able to enhance their moral value in the process of thinking for others and committing for the development of community and realized the simple truth of ¡®what goes around comes around¡¯.

"From now on, Shinhan will not be like a shower pouring onto the dry land rather, we will orient towards a bigger sea to create ¡°a warm and bright world and the world that we all become together¡±. By upgrading the volunteer work of Shinhan bank we hope to see the sprouts of ¡®buds of hope¡¯ all around our society."
