DGB Financial Group Expands Voluntary Ethics Management Self-Assessment to All Employees

Strengthening Ethical Management and Renewing Anti-Corruption Management Certification

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] DGB Financial Group announced on the 23rd that it will conduct a self-assessment of ethical management levels targeting approximately 4,800 employees across the group, including DGB Daegu Bank and Hi Investment & Securities.

The self-assessment of ethical management levels aims to enhance ethical management while collecting basic data for planning and promoting group-wide ethical management and renewing anti-corruption management certification. Starting this year, the scope of the self-assessment has been expanded to include all employees across the group.

Since obtaining the anti-corruption management system certification in December 2018, DGB Financial Group first conducted the self-assessment targeting holding company employees in 2019. Last year, the self-assessment was conducted twice, and the results were used to establish the ethical management strategy for the following year.

DGB Financial Group plans to analyze the survey results both group-wide and by company, reflecting them in the group’s ethical management award system and incorporating them into future ethical management promotion strategies. Additionally, the group will conduct annual surveys, quantify trends into an index, and publish it as the ‘DGB Ethical Management Awareness Index’ in the Sustainability Management Report.

A DGB Financial Group official stated, “This self-assessment includes questions related to identifying corruption issues and measuring ethical management levels. Through voluntary participation by employees, we aim to improve ethical management levels and continuously strengthen the ethical management system.”
