[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] An 'ESG Mobility Consortium' comprising smart 'e-mobility' specialist companies related to the last mile has been launched.

At the launch ceremony held on the 29th at Pyeongchon Technical High School in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, domestic e-mobility specialist companies such as Ash Korea Co., Ltd. and Barogo Co., Ltd. attended, and a partnership agreement for nurturing e-mobility talent with Pyeongchon Technical High School was also signed.

The ESG Mobility Consortium aims to establish a foundation for stable youth employment policies, realize the spread of eco-friendly e-mobility, and jointly work on nurturing e-mobility talent.

The participating companies of the ESG Mobility Consortium announced business plans focusing on youth-centered job creation and contribution to local communities, active response to climate change and minimizing environmental pollution through carbon emission reduction, and pursuing transparent management and ethical corporate activities.

An official from the ESG Mobility Consortium stated, "With the goal of creating youth jobs and activating stable and sustainable last mile services, we plan to carefully verify and introduce the delivery capabilities of eco-friendly mobility such as ultra-small electric vehicles and electric bikes to contribute to the activation of e-mobility in local governments."

Meanwhile, 'last mile' literally means 'the distance a death row inmate walks from his cell to the execution chamber,' but in the transportation sector, it refers to 'the remaining 1 mile (approximately 1.6 km) to the destination.' It is a distance too far to walk, not connected by bus or subway, and awkward to use a taxi or private car. Transportation means that help move this distance are called 'last mile mobility.' Public bicycles and electric kickboards fall under this category.
