With Shinhan Financial Group’s mission statement, “Compassionate Finance, Your Companion for the Future,” we are advancing SDGs-aligned management initiatives that create corporate economic value as well as environmental and social value through our core businesses. We strive to strengthen inclusive and effective financial support for the working class and SMEs, aiming to be a reliable partner in their growth. We are committed to practicing responsible financing by ensuring environmental and social sustainability in our support projects. In addition, we actively promote responsible management by contributing to the expansion of green finance, with a focus on investments in renewable energy and environmental sectors. Our sustainable development initiatives are also aligned with the UN guidelines. We joined both the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and the UN Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) in 2008. In 2018, SFG, together with 27 other global banks and UNEP FI, launched the Global Principles for Responsible Banking for public consultation. In this context, we established the SDG Financing Framework in 2019 and have since continued to enhance and update it to support the Group’s activities that directly contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We will continue to drive mutual growth and inclusive prosperity through creative finance, as we lead the transition toward a more sustainable and future-oriented financial paradigm.
