[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] KT announced on the 24th that it has published the "2022 KT ESG Report," which contains the performance and plans of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities.

KT's ESG report was prepared in compliance with the comprehensive conformity criteria of the international sustainability reporting guideline, the "GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Standards." To ensure reliability and fairness, it also underwent third-party verification by the Korea Management Registrar (KMR).

The environmental chapter of the report covers the establishment of an integrated company-wide greenhouse gas monitoring system and the incorporation of a monitoring function for RE100 implementation status. This year, the greenhouse gas monitoring system will be expanded to major group companies as well.

The social chapter introduces cases based on ABC technology, including the digital youth talent development program Able School, AI talent cultivation for internal employees, and support for startup discovery.

The governance chapter addresses KT's board operation policies, ethical management, and efforts for compliance management. KT was selected as the best company in the governance category in the 2021 ESG evaluation by the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS).

Based on the ESG report published this year, KT also held a session where board members could freely discuss KT's ESG management direction.

In the foreword of the report, KT CEO Koo Hyun-mo stated, "As Korea's leading ESG company, KT is striving to internalize ESG management at the group level. We will continuously seek ways to contribute to society by leading the resolution of environmental and social issues through digital platform technology and do our best to realize a better future."
