KB launches panel to assess social contributions

KB Kookmin Bank on Tuesday launched a committee to assess and get advice on the bank’s various social contribution activities.

The KB Social Contribution Committee is comprised of five outside experts such as professors and senior staff of the Korea YMCA and a network of advocacy groups for disabled people, as well as two KB executives.

“We ask you to empathize with KB Kookmin’s efforts to give hope to the socially vulnerable as well as our customers and the entire Korean people,” the bank’s chief executive Min Byong-deok told the new committee.

“Please do not hesitate to provide us with advice on the bank’s social contribution activities.”
