[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Myunghwan] The Korea Exchange announced on the 1st that it will launch the revamped service of the comprehensive ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) information platform, 'ESG Portal.'

The ESG Portal is the first public ESG information platform in the financial sector, launched in December last year. In this revamp, the Exchange expanded the content by incorporating additional user requests and newly opened a mobile version.

First, to enable investors to utilize evaluation rating information from various institutions, the number of ESG rating information providers has been expanded from the current two companies to five. A summarized excerpt is also provided to help general investors easily grasp the key contents of sustainability management reports.

Additionally, ESG-related company-specific news information can be viewed on the ESG Portal, allowing investors to use company-specific issue assessments in their investment decisions. New composite information such as company-specific ESG ratings linked with business performance and industry-specific ESG rating distributions is also provided.

With this revamp, the mobile version of the ESG Portal website has also opened. This improvement addresses the inconvenience of using the existing platform, which was developed based on PC, on mobile devices. The mobile platform can be accessed by entering the same address as the existing platform or by searching 'ESG Portal' in the mobile search bar.

An Exchange official stated, "We expect that investors will be able to gain a more multifaceted and in-depth understanding of companies' ESG status by utilizing various institutions' ESG evaluation rating information and company-specific news information."
