This index is a sustainable investment index created by FTSE Russell Group, which was jointly established by the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom. It evaluates the ESG management performance of global listed companies. It is one of the key benchmarks used by major global investors, including those in Europe, when making investment decisions. KB Financial Group has been included in the index for 15 consecutive years since 2011.

In this year's assessment, KB Financial Group received scores above the average in all categories. In particular, it was highly rated in areas such as climate change response, consumer protection, and governance transparency.

In addition to this index, KB Financial Group has received a AAA rating for three consecutive years in the MSCI ESG evaluation, and achieved the highest 'Leadership A' grade in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) climate change response assessment. It has also been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) 'World Index' for nine consecutive years.

A KB Financial Group representative stated, "These results demonstrate that our solid ESG performance continues to earn trust in the global market," and added, "We will continue to practice finance that grows and coexists with the people."
