Daegu Chamber of Commerce Opens 'ESG School'... Six Lectures on Greenhouse Gases, Human Rights, Ethics, and More

Daegu City and the Daegu Chamber of Commerce and Industry launched the region's first advanced ESG management training program, the 'Daegu ESG School,' on the 13th.

This training consists of a total of 6 sessions and 24 hours, covering comprehensive topics related to ESG management such as greenhouse gases, supply chain due diligence, human rights, and ethics. Initially planned for 40 participants, over 60 employees from local companies showed enthusiastic interest and participated.

The opening ceremony of the 'ESG School' was held at the Daegu Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Companies participating in the training stated, "There have been many one-time trainings focused on the concept of ESG, but no advanced training necessary for practical work. We joined to respond effectively to ESG practices. Recently, global companies' supply chain management and domestic and international disclosure obligations have been strengthened. We aim to adopt ESG management early to secure global competitiveness."

The first day's lecture was given by Oh Beom-taek, head of the ESG Consulting Center at the Korea Productivity Center, on the "Necessity of ESG for Small and Medium Enterprises." This training will be held biweekly on Tuesdays starting from the 13th.

Lee Jae-kyung, Executive Vice President of the Daegu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said, "We are promoting various projects such as education and consulting to help local companies easily adopt ESG management. We will actively strive to make Daegu a leading city in ESG."

Participants who complete the required training hours will be awarded a certificate of completion jointly signed by the President of the Daegu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the President of the Korea Productivity Center.
