Gyeonggi Province will hold the "2023 Gyeonggi-do ESG Festa" for two days on October 5-6 at the Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency in Gwanggyo, Suwon.

This event was planned for the first time this year to promote sustainable management of small and medium-sized enterprises and social economy organizations and to raise awareness of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance management) among Gyeonggi residents. It is hosted by Gyeonggi Province and jointly organized by the Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency and the Gyeonggi Social Economy Center.

On the first day of the event, Gyeonggi Province will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Export-Import Bank of Korea, Korea Trade Insurance Corporation, Korea International Trade Association, KOTRA Gyeonggi Support Group, Credit Guarantee Fund, and NongHyup Bank to promote ESG management among export SMEs.

Through this MOU, Gyeonggi Province plans to support sustainable management of export SMEs by providing preferential loan interest rates, preferential insurance guarantees, and priority participation in export support projects to SMEs excelling in ESG management.

Seok Jong-hoon, Director of the Social Economy Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We hope that understanding of ESG will increase through the event, and that ESG values will spread throughout Gyeonggi Province, leading to sustainable growth."
