[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KB Financial Group announced on the 10th that it received a certification plaque for being included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World Index for six consecutive years at the '2021 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices International Conference' held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seoul.

This international conference was an awards ceremony for the '2021 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices' announced by S&P Global in the United States last November. KB Financial Group was the first domestic financial institution to rank first globally in the banking industry sector.

Additionally, on the 8th, KB Financial was the only domestic financial company to receive the highest grade, 'Leadership A,' in the climate change response category announced by CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project). CDP is a non-profit organization that requests disclosure of management information related to the environment, such as climate change response, from major companies on behalf of global investment institutions, and analyzes and evaluates it. Along with DJSI, it is one of the most globally recognized ESG evaluation organizations.

A KB Financial Group official stated, “By obtaining the highest grades from both DJSI and CDP, globally prestigious ESG evaluation organizations, we have confirmed our position as a global ESG leading company,” and added, “We will fulfill our role and responsibility as an ESG leading financial group to solve the climate change crisis and successfully transition to a net-zero society.”
