The ethics code pledge includes respect for members, compliance with laws and regulations, morality necessary for job performance, prohibition of discrimination in the workplace, fair personnel management, and rationality and a high level of social ethical awareness for secretariat operations.
A Busan CCI official said, “In a situation where global interest in ESG management is focused, bold introduction and innovation of advanced management techniques are essential to properly fulfill the role as the command center of the regional economy.”
Also, to perform the role of a compass for the regional economy, one of Chairman Jang In-hwa’s core pledges, the opening ceremony of the Corporate Trend Analysis Center, which upgraded the existing research and investigation functions, was held at 10:40 a.m. in the office on the 9th floor of Busan CCI.

At 11 a.m., Busan CCI appointed a mammoth policy advisory group consisting of 20 members across 20 fields including urban development, finance, the 4th industrial revolution, tourism, and MICE at the conference room on the 8th floor of Busan CCI.
This is expected to serve as the best think tank for solving regional economic issues and establishing future development strategies.
Despite today being their first meeting, the policy advisory group generated various ideas such as △hydrogen hub city creation strategy △integration transport of Gadeok New Airport and railway △e-mobility parts cluster and flying car station construction △establishment of the Southeast region 4th industrial ICT convergence testing and certification center △platform for co-growth of Busan’s shipbuilding and shipping industry △ESG response measures for Busan companies.

On the 23rd at 7 a.m., during the commemorative week, Busan CCI will hold a special session of the Busan Economic Forum titled ‘ESG Risk Management in the Post-COVID Era.’
Then, at 11 a.m. on the 25th, to help local companies enter the rapidly growing live commerce market, Busan CCI plans to hold a business agreement ceremony with Lala Station, a local live commerce platform company.
