ESG, a New Standard for a Good Company

It was long believed that the purpose of business is to generate maximum profit for its shareholders, but COVID-19 and the subsequent spread of ESG (which stands for Environment, Social, and Governance) in the private sector have led people to view business as a potential force for good. Recently, ESG became a major focus for companies, especially investors looking to invest long-term in sustainable companies that generate stable economic and social value. This was made apparent with BlackRock announcing in 2020 that the world’s largest investment firm will immediately stop investing in companies that “present high sustainability-related risks.”

Apple is another key player that deserves attention. Its ambition to become carbon neutral does not stop with its achievements but applies throughout its entire supply chain under the “Supplier Clean Energy Program.” By cooperating with and prompting its suppliers, such as SK Hynix, to become carbon neutral, Apple is credited with playing an important role in expanding ESG practices to other companies and regions.

Despite the global steel manufacturer, POSCO being a major polluter, the company has played a pioneering role in advancing ESG in Korea. Like others, the company is making efforts to transition to renewable energy, but it is seeking new opportunities in the clean energy business by producing hydrogen fuel, which the company believes will become a major energy source in the future. By 2025 and 2030, the company plans to increase its hydrogen production by 70,000 and 500,000 tons, respectively, per year.

"Global companies are taking the lead in setting the standards for ESG, and more effort is needed to expand ESG from the best practices of a few players to the entire private sector," said Jae Jin Lim, the Head Mentor of Youth Impact and a former Researcher at the United Nations Global Compact Network Korea.
