According to NH Nonghyup Bank on June 25, the "1st ESG Promotion Committee of 2026" was held at the bank’s headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, the previous day.

The ESG Promotion Committee is a consultative body that oversees NH Nonghyup Bank’s ESG management strategy. In this meeting, the committee reviewed the bank’s key achievements for the first half of the year and discussed core tasks for the second half, such as green and transition finance, social contribution and financial education, and responses to sustainability disclosures.

In the first half of the year, the bank secured an additional 4-megawatt (MW) capacity for direct renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) and strengthened its green lending management system and the foundation for transition finance. It also expanded community partnership activities, including support for children in rural areas and financial education for those underserved by the financial sector.

For the second half of the year, the bank plans to expand its green lending and establish a transition finance management system. In addition, it will refine its ESG data management system to prepare for sustainability disclosures. NH Nonghyup Bank will also strengthen its ESG practices by expanding its signature social contribution program "Chorok Sadari" and initiatives such as financial education for youth, as well as community partnership activities in agriculture, rural areas, and local communities.

Im Sei-bin, Senior Executive Vice President of NH Nonghyup Bank and Chair of the ESG Promotion Committee, stated, "ESG is now evaluated not just by declarations and regulatory compliance, but by tangible execution outcomes. We will support companies in their low-carbon transition through green and transition finance, and further enhance NH Nonghyup Bank’s ESG competitiveness by expanding partnership activities that can be felt by the agricultural sector, rural areas, and local communities."
