We are delighted to bring you up to speed on what UnaFinancial has been doing in the month of February in the realm of Environment, Society and Governance in the newest issue of UnaFinancial ESG Digest!

E - Environment

Decluttering marathon

In February, the Group launched a month-long educational eco-marathon for employees. Over the course of this initiative, the employees will learn how to minimize their consumption and remove clutter from their lives, with the help of simple tools and practical recommendations. Another goal of the marathon is to foster a habit of cleaning out unnecessary things, teaching our employees to make the best of their personal space.

S - Social?

Learning how to keep the heart healthy

On February 14, Valentine’s Day in Kazakhstan, we held a training webinar with a cardiologist, delving into the topic of a healthy heart.

In the 21st century, one of the most common causes of death is coronary heart disease and stroke. As part of the development of a culture of health and safety, the main purpose of the meeting was to discuss why the heart has become the most vulnerable part of our bodies, what risks come from bad habits, and how to take proper care of the blood-pumping muscle.

The training covered topics such as:

• how diet and sleep patterns affect cardiovascular health;
• myths about heart disease - true or not;
• why cholesterol has moral guidelines, and can be good or bad;
• why people with low blood pressure live poorly, but for a long time;
• how to accept that heart pains is a serious issue;
• why taking a cardiogram is useless without other check-ups;
• what does a proper heart examination look like.

Domestic charity

Employees can now contribute their accrued points from activities and training on the Group's internal portal to charity. The company converts employees' redeemed points into monetary donations, which are then allocated to support charitable causes.

Engaging activities for employees in the Philippines

In the Philippines, 3 employee engagement events took place in February:

• "Sound On!: Special Open Mic Night" - where staff showcased their talents in front of an audience. Each artist was given a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 minutes to perform. The artists who showed their talent were awarded letters of gratitude and certificates. Employees who took part in the event also had the opportunity to win cash prizes in a raffle.
• a two-day “Book Exchange Fair” dedicated to International Book Giving Day - employees exchanged books, handed out books in an impromptu exchange corner, and also exchanged insights on the joy of reading.
• To celebrate Random Act of Kindness (RAK) Day, employees had different colored paper hearts on their desks, with each color representing a random act of kindness they were expected to perform throughout the day. Act of Kindness brochures were prepared which included RAK homework, a quiz, free kindness stickers and the benefits of practicing RAK.

G - Governance

• Group Whistleblowing Policy - the policy regulates issues of voluntary disclosure of information, introduces a mechanism for anonymous reporting of violations and their further investigation.
