Chapter 1, ESG Trends, covers domestic and international ESG trends and international sustainability disclosure standards; Chapter 2, Climate Change, discusses climate-related reporting trends and standards; Chapter 3, ESG Information Disclosure, Reporting, and Certification, includes international disclosure and reporting standards and ESG information certification; Chapter 4, Sustainable Finance, addresses sustainable finance and ESG bond and fund certification. Additionally, Chapter 5, ESG Evaluation, covers ESG best practices and domestic and international ESG evaluation indicators; finally, Chapter 6, ESG-related Accounting and Taxation, introduces practical accounting and tax issues related to ESG.

Kim Young-sik, Chairman of the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants, said, "ESG has now established itself as a necessity rather than a choice," adding, "Since the instructors of the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants ESG Academy, who are core personnel in the accounting industry’s ESG field, directly participated in writing this book, we expect it to be a friendly guide that resolves readers’ questions about ESG."
