As the financial environment changes rapidly and competition becomes increasingly unpredictable, the BNK Financial Group is taking a deeper look at how to achieve sustainable future growth.

The Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam provinces, which are the foundation of the BNK Financial Group, face significant social and national challenges, including economic slowdown, low birth rates, population decline, and aging. We fulfill our role as a regional financial institution by revitalizing local industries and participating in solving population issues. This is a social responsibility aligned with global standards and a core reason for the existence of local financial groups.

In January, the BNK Financial Group established the VISION 2030 management strategy and declared the strategy slogan “Touch Your Heart, BNK” to provide financial services that impress our customers. This is in line with our mission, “Ease the finance, Enrich the future,” and our vision, “Finance that inspires the world.”

Based on this strategy, we have developed a Mid-to Long-term ESG Strategy focusing on three key areas: “Green Finance,” “Co-prosperity Finance,” and “Righteous Finance,” to achieve systematic ESG management. The BNK Financial Group aims to realize “Green Finance” to protect the environment, expand “Co-prosperity Finance” in collaboration with the local community, and establish “Righteous Finance” for sustainability.

To advance Green Finance, we recently obtained certification for our greenhouse gas reduction targets from the global initiative SBTi (Science-Based Targets initiative).
According to our plan, we will achieve carbon neutrality for direct and indirect emissions by 2045 and for financial emissions by 2050.

To expand Co-prosperity Finance, we are enhancing our efforts to create social value.
We launched the “Overcoming Crisis Together Project” in 2022, investing approximately 14 trillion KRW over three years to support low-income families, vulnerable groups, and economic recovery.
Additionally, we aim to establish specialized Local Win-Win Activities unique to the BNK Financial Group. This includes conducting volunteer activities throughout the region via the “BNK Volunteer Corps,” which comprises all group employees.

Moving forward, by practicing sustainable and righteous finance, we will strive to become a trustworthy local financial institution, cherished and loved by our customers and local residents.

We look forward to your continued interest and support.
Thank you.
