Shinhan Financial Group Holdings said on the 30th that it held a "board roundtable" meeting at a hotel in Yongsan District, Seoul, on the 27th.
The board roundtable is an event where Shinhan Financial Group(055550) invites key investors each year to exchange views on the group's mid- to long-term strategy and governance.
About 50 institutional investors joined the event online and offline. From management, Jin Ok-dong Shinhan Financial Group chairman and Kwak Soo-geun Shinhan Financial Group board chair, among others, attended.
The company said it revamped this year's principles for appointing independent directors to expand appointments of people with practical experience in financial services.
In June, it became the first in the sector to build a groupwide artificial intelligence (AI)-based internal control platform, and it said it plans to enhance effectiveness by using the group internal control committee to demand improvements on shortcomings.
Chair Kwak said, "The board will work to become trusted corporations that grow together with investors through transparent information and open communication."
