Shinhan Financial Group ranked among this year’s top 100 global sustainable firms by Corporate Knights, a Toronto-based media agency, at the 2013 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Shinhan ranked the 86th among the 100 sustainable firms as the only Korean firm, the Korean financial group said.

The Canadian media and investment research firm compiles and announces the annual list of “The Global 100,” or top 100 sustainable global companies, to recognize environment-friendly and energy-saving technology and management.

“The Global 100” pulled in collective revenues of $3 trillion ― about 4.5 percent of global gross domestic product ― with a workforce of nearly 5.3 million in 2011, according to the Canadian firm.
