KN Group Releases Annual ESG Report, Showcasing Commitment to Green Finance and Social Responsibility
KN Group, a leading global financial technology enterprise, recently partnered with Deloitte to release its Annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report ("Report"), highlighting the Group’s strategy of leveraging AI and Big Data technologies to promote green finance across international markets. This strategy is driven by five core pillars, including Financial Inclusion and Digital Transformation, Customer Protection and Information Security, Employment Practices, Standards, Integrity and Collaborative Impact, and Community Contributions. Prepared with reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework, the Report underscores the strategic integration of FinTech innovation and social responsibility.
The Report indicates that KN Group has served hundreds of millions of users globally, the vast majority of whom are individuals and communities previously underserved by conventional financial institutions. Leveraging innovative AI risk assessment models, the Group is dedicated to effectively reaching and satisfying the financial needs of the broader populace, including blue-collar workers, the self-employed, and residents in remote areas, thereby fully conveying the core value of financial inclusion.
In the realm of Information Security Protection, KN Group enforces stringent data usage principles, prioritizing algorithmic fairness by establishing a transparent framework that systematically excludes sensitive variables. This commitment is coupled with advanced biometric and big data analytics to proactively detect and intercept abnormal transactions, thus safeguarding customer security. To maintain the highest security standards, KN Group continuously align its practices with globally recognized security certifications to maintain verifiable global standards for operational integrity and data protection across all markets. The Group further employs cutting-edge technology to deepen cross-regional security cooperation, establishing robust joint defense mechanisms with local law enforcement partners to collectively counter cyber black market attacks.
KN Group prioritizes nurturing outstanding global talent, establishing the Xiangyang Academy (向陽學院) to provide specialized cross-cultural leadership training. The Group's commitment to Community Contribution is centered on philanthropic efforts, which include supporting Yan Chai Hospital’s Fortune Bag initiative and funding a sensory integration training room for their Pre-school Rehabilitation Service Department. Regionally, the Group extended aid to victims of severe flooding in Chiang Rai, Thailand, and partnered with the Indonesian Red Cross Society to successfully host a blood donation drive at Taman Ismail Marzuki in Jakarta.
Technical collaboration and the mutual recognition of standards are actively promoted among multinational enterprises, with KN Group taking a leadership role across several key alliances. This includes becoming a core founding member of the International Data Industry Alliance (IDIA) in Hong Kong and a key driver in establishing the International Data Industry Research Center; joining the Thai FinTech Association to co-host policy forums and submit open data recommendations to the Thai government; and participating in the Indonesian Joint Funding Fintech Association (AFPI) Audit, Risk, and Governance Forum for two consecutive years and provide compliance framework recommendations to the Financial Services Authority (OJK).
KN Group deeply understands the importance of safeguarding customer rights and data privacy. We adopt top-tier technology and rigorous training, ensuring our operations consistently adhere to the highest standards of transparency and integrity. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to collaborate with regulators to advance a secure financial technology lending framework. By deepening financial inclusion, strengthening governance, empowering employees, and expanding community impact, we are committed to paving the way toward a more sustainable and equitable society.
