Shinhan Card, 12 Consecutive Years as No.1 in Korea Sustainability Index Card Category

12 Consecutive Years as No.1 in Credit Card Category Since 2019 Hall of Fame Induction

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] Shinhan Card announced on the 5th that it was selected as the No. 1 company in the credit card sector of the 'Korea Sustainability Index (KSI)' for 12 consecutive years, the first in the card industry, at the '2021 Korea Sustainability Conference' hosted by the Korea Standards Association.

KSI is the largest stakeholder-based survey in Korea that has been evaluating the level of social responsibility fulfillment and sustainability of domestic companies based on ISO26000, the international standard for social responsibility, conducted by the Korea Standards Association since 2009.

Shinhan Card was selected as the No. 1 company in the credit card sector for 10 consecutive years in 2019 and was inducted into the Sustainability Management Hall of Fame for the first time in Korea. This year, it earned the honor of being No. 1 for 12 consecutive years.

Shinhan Card views this as an objective recognition of establishing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) activities as an official internal organization and creating an organic company-wide ESG driving system.

Shinhan Card was the first in the credit card industry to establish a dedicated ESG department, set up an ESG committee within the board of directors, operate a company-wide ESG council, and publish ESG performance reports covering the achievements of ESG management from 2019 to 2020. In particular, it declared corporate digital responsibility (CDR) management for the first time in the domestic financial sector and is actively promoting ESG management that aligns with digital finance.

A Shinhan Card official said, "We will continue to carry out diverse and continuous ESG activities to achieve Shinhan Financial Group's ESG slogan, 'Right Actions for a Wonderful World.'"
