Hana Financial Group releases 2025 Sustainable Management Report, emphasizing 'finance's warmth'

Hana Financial Group has released its '2025 Sustainable Management Report,' outlining its commitment to integrating economic performance with social value creation. Group Chairman Ham Young-joo emphasized in the report's foreword that in an era of rapid transformation driven by climate crisis, AI innovation, and global ESG disclosure mandates, finance's role is completed when economic and social values advance together.

The report details the group's ESG management achievements and efforts, focusing on transparency and reliability. Hana Financial Group proactively addressed ESG disclosure obligations by publishing the '2024 Sustainability KSSB Report,' the first in the financial sector, and establishing an 'ESG Disclosure Data Management System.' This system unifies ESG data across all group affiliates according to global disclosure standards.

Reflecting on the nine core tasks pursued under its 'Big Step for Tomorrow' ESG vision since 2021, the group expressed its intent to further refine its mid-to-long-term strategic direction. The report's environmental section covers initiatives to reduce business and portfolio environmental impacts and support productive finance through green and transition finance expansion, as well as fostering future strategic industries.

In its social section, the group highlighted achievements such as obtaining the first patent in the financial sector for consumer risk management, completing the construction of its 100th children's center, and discovering social ventures through the Hana Social Venture University. The governance section details efforts in responsible management, including the establishment of the ESG Disclosure Data Management System and the continuous operation of the Sustainable Management Committee. The group also noted its consistent high ratings, including two consecutive years of 'AAA' from MSCI ESG Ratings and four consecutive years on the 'DJSI World Index' from the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices.
