[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] DGB Financial Group announced on the 5th that it has published a sustainability management report containing measures to respond to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Sustainability management refers to stakeholder-centered management activities that consider Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) in a balanced manner.

The report was published in both Korean and English for various domestic and international stakeholders, and it includes the major achievements of last year (and for some qualitative achievements, up to the first half of 2020) of eight major affiliates centered on Daegu Bank, including Hi Investment & Securities, DGB Life Insurance, DGB Capital, DGB Asset Management, DGB U-Pay, DGB Data System, and DGB Credit Information.

In particular, this report stands out for disclosing the group’s response measures related to the recent major issue of COVID-19, as well as responses to TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB).

Tae-oh Kim, Chairman of DGB Financial, said, “The publication of DGB Financial’s 14th sustainability management report is expected to serve as a milestone toward becoming a digital global banking group,” adding, “We will continue to make our best efforts to open the future together based on active communication with stakeholders.”
