On June 28, 2024, KB Financial Group Inc. (“KB Financial Group”) published its sustainability report for 2023 (the “Report”), prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards 2021, a set of global reporting standards for the publication of sustainability reports.

The Report includes the following five material topics, which were selected based on an investor-centric assessment of financial importance: ‘Enterprise Risk Management’, ‘Climate Change Strategy’, ‘Win-Win Financing (fulfilling social responsibilities by sharing the burdens of financial consumers)’, ‘Protection of Financial Consumers’ and ‘Digital Innovation and Technology.’ Such topics are in alignment with the four pillars of the sustainability disclosure standards of the International Sustainability Standards Board (“ISSB”), and are organized according to the “General requirements for disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information” (IFRS S1), and the “Climate-related Disclosures” (IFRS S2) required by the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Requirements.

The information relating to environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) contained in the Report took reference from the disclosure requirements required by the Sustainability Accounting Standard Board (“SASB”) and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Banking (“UN PRB”).

The Report is currently available in the Korean language on KB Financial Group’s website at www.kbfg.com, while the Report in the English language is scheduled to be posted on KB Financial Group’s website on or around July 31, 2024.
