The Korea Federation of Small and Medium Business (Chairman Kim Ki-moon), together with the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute (President Choi Heung-jin), announced that starting from the 15th, they will offer an advanced online free course titled 'SME ESG Response Strategy 2.0' for SME executives and employees who find it difficult to implement ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.


This training is a follow-up and advanced course to the 'SME ESG Response Strategy' online free education launched by the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Business in November 2021. It was established to strengthen practical ESG management capabilities so that SME executives and employees can understand the rapidly changing global ESG trends and appropriately respond to supply chain due diligence requirements.
