At the end of 2025, NH Investment & Securities contributed to the Agricultural and Fishery Cooperation Fund to improve the welfare of farming households and their working conditions. Using the fund, the company is carrying out the Rural Village Community Support Program with the Korea Foundation for Cooperation of Large & Small Business, Rural Affairs. This year, it plans to provide refrigerators to a total of eight counties.

NH Investment & Securities’ Rural Village Community Support Program is one of the company’s signature corporate social responsibility initiatives, running for the eighth consecutive year since 2019. During the program’s first three years, it supplied 1,263 electric cooktops (induction ranges) to village halls and other facilities in rural areas nationwide. Since 2022, it has provided around 350 refrigerators each year to improve farmers’ everyday convenience and health.

“The Rural Village Community Support Program is one of NH Investment & Securities’ core corporate social responsibility initiatives, reflecting our close ties with local communities,” said Kim Seokchan, vice president of NH Investment & Securities. “We have had a demanding schedule visiting two local governments this week, so I’m tired, but I feel proud knowing that our support will make a real difference in improving farmers’ living conditions and welfare.”
