Junggi Central Association Conducts ESG Awareness Training for SMEs

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Min-jae] The Korea Federation of SMEs announced on the 30th that it conducted an ‘ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Awareness Expansion Training’ for about 40 executives and employees of industry-specific cooperatives and organizations at the SME DMC Tower in Sangam-dong, Seoul.

This training was held to enhance the understanding of ESG among executives and employees of cooperatives and organizations composed of SMEs by industry. It supports SME-related organizations to jointly respond to issues such as ESG and carbon neutrality, which are difficult for individual SMEs to address due to cost burdens and manpower shortages.

The training included lectures such as ▲ ESG Management and SME Response (Moon Seong-hoo, Vice President of the Korea ESG Association) ▲ Overview of the K-ESG Guidelines (Jung Kwang-ho, Team Leader at the Korea Productivity Center) ▲ Understanding and Response to Carbon Neutrality (Go Soon-hyun, Vice President of Eco & Partners) ▲ Understanding and Response to Industrial Safety and the Serious Accident Punishment Act (Koo Kwon-ho, Senior Advisor at POSCO Construction).

Yang Chan-hoe, Head of the Innovation Growth Headquarters at the Korea Federation of SMEs, said, “This year, the Federation will provide free ESG consulting to companies recommended by cooperatives and offer carbon neutrality consulting to present common greenhouse gas reduction solutions by industry. We will support industry-specific cooperatives to serve as a bridge connecting the government and SMEs on the new issue of ESG.”
