DWSG Publishes ESG Evaluation Report for 370 Public Institutions

[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] DUSG collaborated with ESG evaluation specialist ESG Moneta to publish the '2022 Public Institution ESG Evaluation Report' on the 17th.

The report evaluated 370 institutions disclosed on ALIO, the public institution management information disclosure system, using a total of 79 indicators composed of 7 items in the E (Environment) category, 5 items in the S (Social) category, and 4 items in the G (Governance) category. The ratings are divided into seven levels: Excellent (A+), Very Good (A), Good (B+), Average (B), Poor (C+), Deficient (C), and Critical (D).

Looking at the evaluation results, only three institutions?Korea Gas Corporation, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, and Korea South-East Power?were rated Excellent (A+), accounting for just 0.81%. Institutions rated Good (B+) or higher were only 45 (12.16%), indicating that overall, active improvement efforts are needed for ESG management.

Market-type public enterprises sensitive to carbon emissions and coal fuel usage received high ratings in the Environment (E) category, which led to high rankings in the overall ESG evaluation. The Social (S) and Governance (G) categories showed similar levels regardless of institution size.
