Deloitte Anjin Signs MOU with SAS Korea to Strengthen ESG Solutions

[Asia Economy Reporter Ji-hwan Park] Deloitte Anjin Accounting Corporation announced on the 16th that it signed a strategic business agreement (MOU) with SAS Korea on the 15th at the 8th floor of One IFC Building, Seoul International Financial Center, Yeouido, Seoul, to establish an ESG cooperation business model and discover new business opportunities.

The signing ceremony was attended by Hong Jong-seong, CEO of Deloitte Anjin, Baek In-gyu, Head of the ESG Center, Lee Seung-woo, CEO of SAS Korea, and other officials from both companies.

ESG has recently emerged as a key management issue not only in specific industries such as construction and shipping but also among large and medium-sized enterprises, increasing demand for ESG solutions across the entire business domain beyond ESG compliance.

In particular, as awareness of the climate crisis has risen recently, society as a whole and companies are being urged to actively respond to the climate crisis. However, it is not easy for individual companies to analyze the direct correlation between climate action and economic growth and to establish sustainable management and decarbonization strategies based on quantified data.

Deloitte Anjin and SAS Korea signed an MOU to strengthen ESG solutions and plan to provide differentiated ESG consulting services based on SAS risk management solutions and Deloitte’s global network.

Deloitte Anjin plans to prepare broad ESG risk analysis and evaluation response services, including climate risk, by utilizing the ‘SAS scenario-based stress test solution.’ Additionally, they will develop analytical tools that can integrally evaluate not only Environmental but also Social and Governance aspects, and provide an ESG end-to-end integrated solution that covers the entire industry beyond the financial sector.

Hong Jong-seong, CEO of Deloitte Anjin, emphasized, "Based on this MOU with SAS Korea, we expect to create a new turning point in domestic and international ESG management consulting," adding, "In the future, by leveraging the global networks and specialized analytical capabilities of both companies, we will provide proactive and diversified professional ESG consulting services to help each company strengthen the internalization of ESG management."

Lee Seung-woo, CEO of SAS Korea, said, "Since the government’s declaration of the 2050 carbon neutrality goal, demands for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions have intensified," and added, "In this situation, banks and companies need rapid and repetitive analysis of broader scenarios to achieve their business goals."
