Investment Socially Responsible Investment

SFMI adopts social responsibility by integrating ESG criteria in our asset management. We carry out strict, negative screening practices when making investment decisions to avoid speculative investment and to make socially responsible investments.

In 2019, SFMI invested a total of KRW 2,712.4 billion as a part of its socially responsible investment. In 2020, SFMI invested a total of KRW 3,537.8 billion as a part of its socially responsible investment, 30.4 percent up from the previous year. In particular, we increased our investments in new renewable energy businesses such as photovoltaic, wind power, fuel batteries, and the environment for the purpose of water treatment and we aim to add up to KRW 10.5 trillion more of social responsibility investments based on contract amounts by 2030.

SFMI supports the ‘Renewable Energy 3020’ initiative by the government and cooperates with the GLCC(Global Loss Control Center), an intra-specialty group, to vitalize investment and loan activities in renewable energies. SFMI evaluates and analyzes natural disaster risks during construction and operation phases and periodically invites experts in solar and wind power energy to host seminars to help enhance the awareness of renewable energies.

The company has also retained or renewed its ISO 14001(environment management system, from 2014) and ISO 50001(energy management system, from 2012).
