Samil PwC to Hold Online Seminar on Its 50th Anniversary on the 1st of Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Ji-hwan Park] Samil Accounting Corporation announced on the 26th that it will hold an online seminar titled 'ESG and Changes in Corporate Management and Disclosure' via YouTube at 3 p.m. on the 1st of next month to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Recently, the paradigm of corporate management activities and value pursuit is gradually shifting beyond profit-seeking to enhancing sustainability. Discussions on incorporating ESG into management strategies and objectively evaluating and disclosing its performance are more active than ever.

This seminar will be conducted in two sessions, each addressing changes in corporate management and disclosure due to ESG.

In the 'ESG and Changes in Corporate Management' session, Professor Kyung-seo Park of Korea University will present on the topic 'ESG Management: Issues and Challenges.' Na Seok-kwon, Director of SK Social Value Research Institute; Shin Wang-geon, Full-time Professional Committee Member of the National Pension Service; and Yoon Young-chang, Partner at PwC Consulting, will participate as panelists for the discussion.

In the following 'ESG and Changes in Corporate Disclosure' session, Professor Soo-il Bae of Sungkyunkwan University will present on 'The Current Status and Future of ESG Disclosure.' Panelists including Sung-hyun Park, Vice President of Shinhan Financial Group; Byung-rae Lee, Vice Chairman of the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants; Jae-hoon Park, Director of the Fair Market Division at the Financial Services Commission; and Kyuseop Yoon, Partner at Samil Accounting Corporation, will share their opinions.

CEO Hoon-soo Yoon explained, "The most frequently mentioned term across social and economic fields recently is ESG. This is because environment, social responsibility, and governance are essential elements that must be managed for any organization where people gather, not just companies, to be sustainable."

He continued, "We have tended to treat these important elements conventionally until now. However, from the perspective of companies, whose stakeholder scope is relatively clear and operational objectives are definite, if a value evaluation standard agreed upon by the majority is derived and applied, predictability of operational risks will increase, and naturally, sustainability will improve. To view these topics, which have been handled fragmentarily so far, more broadly, we have prepared a gathering of experts from various fields," he said.

Participants can register for this seminar on the Samil Accounting Corporation website. Access information will be provided individually before the event only to those who register in advance.
