The contest fields are ▲Environmental Innovation (E) ▲Social Innovation (S) ▲Governance Innovation (G) ▲ESG Leading Cases, totaling four categories. The contest themes allow participants to choose one of two options: ▲Voluntary ESG practice cases by companies ▲ESG leading cases that overcame rapidly changing external environmental crises such as supply chain due diligence and achieved results.
Participation details can be found on the SBC website's notice board. The application deadline is the 30th of this month, and after evaluation and verification procedures, a total of six excellent cases, including the grand prize and the best award, will be selected. Additionally, SBC will conduct separate on-site interviews with excellent companies participating in the contest and publish an 'ESG Excellent Practice Company Casebook.'
