Shinhan Financial Group's board of directors has continued its overseas investor relations (IR) efforts, enhancing communication with major global institutional investors.

According to Shinhan Financial on July 12, Chairman Kwak Soo-geun visited Edinburgh and London from July 6 to 11 to conduct IR meetings with key global investors and representatives from international governance organizations.

During these meetings, Chairman Kwak shared insights on the domestic and international economic environment, Shinhan Financial's long-term growth strategy, the implementation of plans to enhance corporate value, and the governance framework with major institutions such as ClearBridge Investment, a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton, and Pictet Asset Management.

He also discussed the evolving global governance landscape and the board's role in creating long-term corporate value with representatives from the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN).

Since last year, Shinhan Financial's board has formalized its overseas IR efforts, maintaining ongoing communication with investors through shareholder letters and board roundtable discussions. Recommendations from these governance discussions have been incorporated into decision-making regarding the protection of shareholder rights and the strengthening of board operations and responsibilities.

Kwak stated, "Direct communication with global investors is a crucial process for understanding market expectations and developing strategies to enhance corporate value," and emphasized the commitment to continuously improve the governance framework in line with global standards.
