plans, aimed at reducing the consumption of resources in a systematic manner. This policy also specifies
environmental credit policies and credit underwriting guidelines, supports lending in environmental
projects, determines roles and responsibilities of executives and employees at all levels of employees
so that they comply with the established measures. Under this policy, environmental management
guidelines, targets and plans are reviewed every year to ensure that they are up to date and suitable

KBank utilizes the Focus Acceleration Approach, which places emphasis on efficient management in dimensions that
have significant effects on the environment and are under KBank’s control. This approach has been expanded to
continuously create positive impacts from the downstream of business operations, achieved by raising the awareness
