As companies become more compelled to address and disclose their social and environmental impacts, it is increasingly important to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in their strategic decision-making and day-to-day operations. Increasingly, investors are choosing to invest in ethical and transparent companies, and workers are seeking to join companies that have values which are more closely aligned with their own.

“In terms of ESG management, South Korea was a late follower,” says Jay Hyuk Rhee, a professor at the school of business at Korea University in Seoul, “But, now — most, if not all, South Korean corporations take ESG management very seriously.”Environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings are being increasingly taken into account, not only by people seeking to make socially conscious investment decisions, but also by consumers and prospective employees.ESG ratings provide information about a company’s sustainability status based on three categories: the environment, social issues, and governance.
