Based on the operation of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Management Committee and strengthened internal controls, it fulfills various social responsibilities as a public institution.

In the environmental sector, efforts such as creating a paperless business environment (expanding eco-friendly CBT exams, introducing mobile national certificates) and energy-saving in daily life (campaign for using knee blankets, E-Circular Governance agreement) received favorable reviews. In the social sector, the operation of the online promotion center’s win-win cooperation hall and the establishment of a regional win-win platform (local government-public institution consultative body, volunteer activities and donations, open school, etc.) were highly evaluated.

In the governance sector, the integrity promotion planning team to eradicate labor-management joint corruption practices and the acquisition of the Anti-Bribery Management System (ISO37001) certification for the foreign employment support project were recognized as contributions to proactive administration through extensive ESG management.

Chairman Lee Woo-young stated, "We will continue to fulfill the social responsibilities of public institutions through sustainable ESG management practices," adding, "We will do our best to create a better society and environment so that future generations can design a happy life."
