From November 23 to December 2, 2021, Jipyong ESG Center, together with KOTRA (President: Jungyeol YOO), held a series of “ESG Conference with Local Communities” consecutively in three cities including Jeonju, Incheon, and Busan. The event aimed to share knowledge and information about changes of global business environment to local SMEs and strong medium enterprises which have relatively less access to relevant information on ESG management in order to enhance their export capacity. 
 
Jipyong ESG Center is a comprehensive ESG consulting organization which provides advice and consulting services based on its research on policies and regulations applicable to ESG and business environment in Korea and foreign countries and the expertise and know-hows in business management strategy consulting services in collaboration of advisory teams for environment, social, and corporate governance (ESG), and each detailed legal risk. After Ms. Jun Hui LEE, as Group Leader of Strategy Group, and other many professional consultants joined Jipyong ESG Center in January 2021, the center has become an unrivaled organization which provides a tailored “ESG One-stop Solution” in collaboration with lawyers’ group, strategy consultants, and experts in compliance, business and human rights, and communication. In particular, the center recently focuses on its “ESG Academy” which provides management strategies and education to global large firms as well as SMEs and strong medium enterprises. 
 
Jipyong ESG Center and KOTRA jointly conducted research on “International Trends in ESG and Corporate Strategy to Respond to Changes” for Korean companies and shared Youtube videos on ESG topics that gained much attention with respect to business management such as each country’s carbon-neutral policies and global companies which joined RE100, etc. for companies in the U.S., Europe, China, Japan, and Vietnam. 
 
The ESG Conference was held both online/offline in various areas starting from the event held in Jeonllabuk-do on November 23, 2021, and joined by 100 local companies. The events were uploaded on KOTRA Youtube channel. Jun Hui LEE, Group Leader of Strategy Group at Jipyong ESG Center, Hyun Young JEE, attorney at JIPYONG, and Eun Mi LEE, Director of Jeonbuk Institute for Food-Bioindustry, etc. participated in the conference as speakers and discussed ESG management risks and strategies for SMEs in Korea. 
 
In the conference, Ms. Jun Hui LEE gave a presentation on “Direction & Strategy to Respond to Changes in ESG Management Environment”, and Attorney Hyun Young JEE gave a presentation on the “Trends in ESG Policies and Regulations in Korea and Foreign Countries”, followed by a Q&A session where Yun Won KIM and Kwang Wui KIM, PLs of Jipyong ESG Center, discussed key issues in ESG management and measures to enhance ESG management capacity for local SMEs. The programs consist of △ ESG policy trends in major countries; △ Business strategies to respond to changes in the ESG management environment and how to manage metrics; △ Tailored consulting services for local SMEs to establish business strategies and enhance ESG capacity. This event was also joined by the member companies of Innopolis Jeonbuk who were found through the “private-public partnership connection center” under the Ministry of Interior and Safety, which helps organizations find their collaborators.  
 
Sung Taek LIM, Director of Jipyong ESG Center, said, “ESG management paradigm is beyond risk management as it has become a driving force for companies creating new values, and it will have a significant effect on SMEs and strong medium companies because now global business management environment requires companies to enhance management of supply chain and pursue decarbonization.” He added, “JIPYONG, which has focused on corporate social responsibilities, will endeavor to provide SMEs and strong medium companies with solutions to enhance their ESG capacity.” 
 
Jipyong ESG Center will develop “ESG More & Best Sharing Platform”, aiming to help Korean companies secure a competitive edge at the global level. It will provide companies with consulting services including the most systematic method to introduce ESG management in Korea and the strategies to successfully internalize ESG management, etc. tailored to each industry in consideration of different business characteristics. Moreover, the center will operate a round table to provide industry-tailored solutions, publish a series of ESG handbooks, and carry out various activities for setting up an ESG ecosystem and internalization of ESG.
