[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS Retail announced on the 24th that it has launched a D&I (Diversity & Inclusion) Committee to establish a culture of diversity and inclusion.

The D&I Committee is composed of 12 members, including BU heads from each business division and representatives of subcommittees, with CEO Vice Chairman Heo Yeon-su serving as the chairperson. Five subcommittees, including the Platform BU Committee and Home Shopping BU Committee, consist of about 25 members, with executives from each business division acting as representatives. Each subcommittee discusses topics such as ▲establishing measures to respect diversity ▲building activities to minimize bias ▲institutionalizing an inclusive culture ▲studying overseas best practices, and seeks specific systems and educational plans that align with the values of diversity and inclusion.

The reason GS Retail launched the D&I Committee is to enhance mutual understanding among members in a work environment where various generations coexist after integration. Through this, GS Retail aims to systematically improve existing systems and related educational methods, naturally embrace generational and cultural differences among organizational members, and transform into the best company to work for.

A GS Retail official said, “The D&I Committee can be seen as a response to the rapidly changing business environment,” adding, “We plan to establish a flexible organizational culture system to lay the foundation for sustainable growth.”
