[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Shinhan Financial Group announced on the 16th that it has been included in the U.S. DJSI World Index for eight consecutive years, the first time for a domestic financial group.

The DJSI is the world's most prestigious sustainability assessment and socially responsible investment index that evaluates the sustainability of companies comprehensively each year, based on not only financial performance but also environmental and social aspects, targeting over 2,500 global companies with the highest market capitalization worldwide.

This year, 25 companies worldwide were included in the DJSI World Index banking industry sector, including global financial groups such as Bancolombia (Colombia), ANZ (Australia), BNP Paribas (France), and Santander (Spain).

Shinhan Financial has been included in the top-tier World Index for eight consecutive years from 2013 to this year. It received top-level global evaluations in areas such as climate change response strategies, sustainable finance, inclusive finance, and information and system security.

Shinhan Financial is promoting the ‘2020 Sustainable Management Strategy’ based on three major directions: responsible growth, formation of social partnerships, and investment toward the future, to practice the group’s mission of ‘warm finance together with the future,’ which aims to enhance the value of customers, society, and Shinhan together.

A Shinhan Financial official stated, "We will continue to do our best to become a ‘world-class Shinhan’ recognized by customers and contributing to growth in economic, social, and environmental fields through various projects such as zero carbon (reducing carbon emissions in asset portfolios) and social value measurement models."
