Woori Bank presented four key material issues in its 2025 ESG report: protection of financial consumers, AX and DX innovation, response to climate change and expansion of ESG finance.

Woori Bank said on June 23 it published the 2025 ESG report, which contains its ESG management performance over the past year and its direction for 추진 going forward.

The report, subtitled "NEXT Finance, NEXT Future," outlines the direction for sustainable finance through ESG and responses to a green transformation.

It conducted a double materiality assessment that considers both the impact of banking activities on the environment and society, and financial factors.

Woori Bank used an "AI media index" to analyse the volume and importance of related news coverage. Based on the analysis, it selected protection of financial consumers, AX and DX innovation, response to climate change and expansion of ESG finance as four key material issues.

It also strengthened its disclosure framework. Woori Bank, the first in the banking sector, applied the disclosure standards of the Korea Sustainability Standards Board and disclosed the material issues across four areas: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.

A Woori Bank official said, "Woori Bank will continue to advance a global-level ESG disclosure framework and actively communicate with stakeholders through responsible information disclosure."
