Equator Principles

To accelerate international integration and promote sustainable finance development, as well as guide companies to prioritize environmental protection and social responsibility, KTB officially joined the Equator Principles Association on December 1, 2022. Additionally, in 2023, KTB issued the "KTB Equator Principles Financing Guidelines." When KTB processes corporate financing applications, we evaluate the applicability of the Equator Principles based on the amount and purpose of each case. If the case falls under the Equator Principles, it undergoes further classification into "Category A, High Risk B, B, C" using the Equator Principles Risk Classification Checklist. Depending on the classification, relevant documents are requested, and a dedicated unit conducts a review of environmental and social risks to ensure the completeness of risk classification and related documentation. After the case is approved, a routine review will be conducted in accordance with regulations to monitor its environmental and social performance.
