[Digital Today reporter Oh Sang-yup] Woori Investment Securities said on Dec. 31 it has carried out social contribution activities this year to help corporate social responsibility take root as part of its corporate culture.

In September, it introduced the 'Woori Rest Visually Impaired Health Keeper' programme to improve employee welfare and fulfil social responsibility. Under the programme, severely visually impaired massage therapists provide massage services to help employees recover physically and mentally, based on their expertise in manual therapy.

The scheme was designed as a win-win welfare programme to boost employees' work focus through quality rest while providing stable jobs for people with disabilities.

In November, it launched the 'Hug Run' donation running campaign to mark Child Abuse Prevention Day. It was conducted as virtual running in which participants record running distances using a running app, and all employee participation fees were donated to Dongbang Social Welfare Association and are expected to be used for child abuse prevention projects.

In December, it held a one-day class, 'Mini-Tree Making', with a hearing-impaired florist to mark the year-end. All costs for making the trees in the employee-participation programme will be donated to the Seodaemun Welfare Center for the Deaf, a municipal facility.

Nam Ki-cheon, CEO of Woori Investment Securities, said, "We will continue to practise corporate social responsibility through win-win activities."
