KB Financial Group said on Thursday it received the top Leadership A grade for the second consecutive year in the 2025 Climate Change assessment by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

CDP is an international non-profit organisation that requests and assesses environmental management information, including climate change responses, from major listed companies worldwide. The collected information is published annually in a report.

KB Financial is continuing various in-house carbon reduction activities to ensure the effective implementation of its carbon-neutral strategy, KB Net Zero S.T.A.R., to address climate change.

It also provides integrated services linking financial and non-financial offerings, including the KB carbon management system, KB ESG consulting services and support for climate finance, including green and transition finance, to help companies with ESG management.

A KB Financial official said the second consecutive Leadership A grade reflects external recognition of the group’s efforts and capabilities in responding to the climate crisis. The official said KB Financial will continue to expand activities and support for climate change responses and work to provide more transparent and comprehensive ESG disclosures.
