Korea Electric Power Corporation and the Shared Growth Committee Participate in 'Partner Company ESG Support Project' for the First Time

The Win-Win Growth Committee and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) signed a participation agreement on the 29th for the '2024 Partner Company ESG Support Project' to comprehensively support the environmental, social, and transparent management capabilities of partner companies.

KEPCO, a leading public enterprise in South Korea responsible for the production, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric power resources, has played a crucial role in national economic growth and industrial development since its establishment in 1898.

KEPCO operates various policies to foster outstanding companies in environmental, social, and transparent management (ESG) across the entire power industry value chain and support systems to strengthen ESG capabilities, aiming to spread ESG practices and establish a foundation for carbon neutrality (Scope 3) implementation.

Through this agreement, the Win-Win Growth Committee and KEPCO plan to select ESG indicators for partner small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) according to the SME ESG standard guidelines, focusing on strengthening the ESG capabilities of partner companies through ESG education, diagnosis, and on-site inspections (consulting).

Oh Young-gyo, Chairman of the Win-Win Growth Committee, stated, "KEPCO is demonstrating a model case of a public enterprise contributing to carbon neutrality practice, stable power supply, and the nation's future growth," adding, "We hope this Win-Win Growth project will be a great opportunity to grow together with partner companies within the power industry."
