The Nation's First Online ESG Investment Course for Venture Capital... Starting from the 28th of This Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Korea Venture Capital Association's affiliated Korea Venture Capital Training Institute will conduct an online lecture on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investment.

The Venture Capital Association announced on the 5th that the '2021 Investment Practice: ESG Investment Strategies and Cases' training will be held online from the 28th of this month until the 15th of next month.

Many pension funds in the US and Europe have already prohibited investments in entities that do not meet ESG standards, making ESG investment, which advocates ethical values, the 'new normal' in advanced markets.

This training is the first domestic ESG investment lecture for venture capital, providing a comprehensive course on establishing ESG investment strategies, which is still unfamiliar to the venture capital industry.

Eight ESG investment experts from the National Pension Service Fund Management Headquarters, Kim & Chang Law Firm ESG Group, PWC Samil Accounting Corporation ESG Platform, Sustainvest (ESG advisory and evaluation firm), The Wells Investment, and Korea Investment Corporation will cover domestic and international ESG investment cases as well as legal and tax issues.

The Korea Venture Capital Training Institute is the only specialized venture capital education institution in Korea, operating programs for nurturing and enhancing the expertise of venture capital professionals since 2000. Applications for the lecture can be submitted through the institute's website until the 16th.
