Shinhan Financial Group shared its natural capital disclosure cases at the Jeju International Ecology Forum and discussed the financial sector's role in ecological conservation.
Shinhan Financial Group announced Friday that it attended the 2026 Jeju International Ecology Forum at Jeju Stone Park on Thursday and presented its disclosure cases under the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, or TNFD, framework.
Running through Saturday, the forum is themed "Narratives of Nature and the Reconstruction of Society" and draws about 150 domestic and international scholars, business leaders and policy officials. Key agenda items include corporate natural capital disclosure, the rights of nature and Earth jurisprudence. Shinhan Financial Group joined the Ministry of Climate, Environment and Energy and Posco Holdings as co-sponsors.
Shinhan Financial Group presented its TNFD disclosure cases and outlined implications for broader adoption across the financial sector during the "ESG for the Planet" session. Jeju Bank took part in the "International Cooperation" session, presenting on the theme of "Sustainable Jeju Through Finance" and outlining how regional financial institutions can engage in ecological conservation.
The discussions covered both group-level disclosure experience and a regional bank's conservation activities, exploring ways to connect natural capital responses — from formal disclosure to on-the-ground practice.
"As natural capital becomes a core variable in corporate management and investment decisions, we will pursue sustainable finance for coexistence with nature," a Shinhan Financial Group official said.
