[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kim Hak-do, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the 8th that it will enhance the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) tailored support for small and medium enterprises by upgrading and operating the ESG self-diagnosis system.

SBC has been operating the 'ESG Self-Diagnosis System 1.0' since last year to provide ESG readiness levels and sector-specific solutions for small and medium enterprises that find it difficult to practice ESG management.

Last year, a total of over 16,000 small and medium enterprises used the ESG self-diagnosis service, and based on the accumulated ESG big data, the system was revamped to build the 'ESG Self-Diagnosis System 2.0.'

The ESG Self-Diagnosis 2.0 consists of a total of 83 indicators, including 29 common indicators, 13 industry-specific indicators, and 41 indicators for large company partners and export countries. It is characterized by providing more detailed solutions compared to the previous system, which was divided into 23 indicators.

The ESG Self-Diagnosis 2.0 can be accessed for free through the ESG integrated platform. For companies unfamiliar with the ESG concept, it also provides an ESG management guidebook and timely information.

Kim Hak-do, Chairman of SBC, said, "With the recent unprecedented complex crises and the expansion of global ESG demands, the management environment for small and medium enterprises is becoming difficult. Through the more advanced ESG self-diagnosis system and ESG integrated platform, we will continue to provide customized and close support so that promising small and medium venture companies can proactively respond to the rapidly changing external environment and enhance their ESG competitiveness."
