“Fundraising should be transparent” ... All departments of Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association join integrity and human rights campaign

[Financial News] Employees of Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association have written down their pledge to handle their work fairly and respect their colleagues. The association plans to incorporate improvement tasks from the campaign into its field work guidelines and use them when reviewing policies to prevent abuse of power.
According to Hope Bridge on the 10th, the association held the “Hope Bridge ON!” campaign to combat corruption, promote respect for human rights and prevent abuse of power, under the slogan “Turn on integrity, add respect.” It divided the activities into individual and departmental tasks to help employees find ways to put these principles into practice in their daily work.
The 52 employees who took on individual tasks submitted 52 pledges to put into practice, including commitments to abide by laws and principles. The association also received 24 acrostic poems on integrity and human rights and 36 responses to an integrity quiz.
All 10 departments took part in the group tasks. Eight of them created integrity and human rights slogans for use in 2027, while the remaining two examined which aspects of the organizational culture to sustain and which work practices to improve.
The Disaster Relief Act requires the association to manage separately the relief donations (contributions for victims of natural disasters) deposited into the Distribution Committee’s account. The association must submit its financial statements and an audit report from an accounting firm to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety within three months after the end of the fiscal year.
Shin Hoon, secretary-general of Hope Bridge, said, “Integrity and mutual respect are the most fundamental yet important values underpinning trust in an organization specializing in relief fundraising.”
