Hana sponsors autism awareness race for 7th straight year

Hana Financial Group has once again taken part in the Autism Race, an annual event aimed at promoting public awareness and understanding of autism. This is the group's seventh consecutive year of sponsorship, dating back to 2020. In total, about 100 individuals participated in this year's race, which included Hana Financial Group Vice Chairman Lee Eun-hyung, along with employees and their families.

All employees who took part in the race had their registration fees covered by the company, and these funds will be donated to the Autism Society of Korea to aid those with autism.

The purpose of the race is to encourage society to see differences not as obstacles or sources of discrimination, but as a form of diversity that adds richness to our communities. Lee Eun-hyung, the Vice Chairman of Hana Financial Group, expressed his thoughts on the importance of participating in this initiative. He stated, "It is meaningful to join efforts to broaden understanding and respect for people with autism and build an inclusive society."

Lee further emphasized the company's commitment to providing sincere support, so that individuals with autism and other members of society can grow together as respected members of our communities.
