[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Kang Tae-seon, chairman of BYN Blackyak, has been appointed as an advisory member of the UN SDGs Association, a special consultative status organization of the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

The UN SDGs Association is an international non-governmental organization that promotes the participation of global companies and national parliaments in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the UN in 2015 through various activities.

Starting with this appointment, he plans to present new directions for the domestic fashion industry and carry out various activities to enhance stakeholder awareness and increase participation.

In particular, BYN Blackyak was selected as the top company in the domestic best group of the ‘2019 UN Sustainable Development Goals Management Index’ announced by the UN SDGs Association last year.

Chairman Kang Tae-seon said, “As corporate economic and social innovation activities not only participate in solving the social problems we currently face but also become the source of sustainable competitiveness for companies, we will create Blackyak’s unique sustainable management model where SDGs and business coexist, and lead change through the influence companies possess.”

Meanwhile, BYN Blackyak is developing and presenting sustainable products through its brands Blackyak and Now, and spreading a healthy consumption culture through various brand platforms such as the Blackyak Alpine Club. It is also leading sustainable management by reflecting various social issues in its activities, including the Himalayan environmental cleanup campaign ‘Clean Himalaya Trekking’ and the ‘Blackyak Yellow Dust Shield Kubuqi Desert Ecological Park Project’ to prevent yellow dust.
