[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) signed a business agreement with Clio, a local company, on the 5th to practice ESG and contribute to social responsibility.

This agreement focuses on cooperation for ESG management and its expansion, as well as urban environmental conservation and the creation of a sustainable ecosystem. The two organizations agreed to share visions and projects for ESG practice and to unite in social contribution activities.

Accordingly, Clio will actively promote social contribution projects, strive to develop eco-friendly products, and participate in providing social contribution resources such as donations for neighbors in need. The district will actively support these resources to residents through various networks.

Located in Seongsu-dong, Clio was established in 1993 and was selected as one of the UN Sustainable Brands 100 this year. It has earned the highest (AAA) grade in the international eco-certification GRP, which began as a voluntary pledge between the UN and the private sector, demonstrating its commitment to ESG management practices.

After enacting and promulgating the "Seongdong-gu Basic Ordinance on Sustainable Development" in July, marking the official start as a sustainable development city, the district launched the "Sustainable Development Committee" last month, composed of related experts, laying the foundation for concrete realization of ESG administration.

The district, promoting the "Let's Do ESG Together Social Contribution Project," plans to focus on discovering social contribution resources by linking with local companies, starting with this agreement with Clio.

Furthermore, based on the belief that close administrative network cooperation can realize active social contributions by companies, the district intends to enhance administrative support for companies' ESG management and actively cooperate.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, "We are actively introducing ESG administration, discovering and promoting related projects, and supporting related companies to expand ESG. We hope this agreement will be a great opportunity for companies to practice and spread ESG."
