[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Netmarble announced on the 28th that it has published the 2022 ESG Report, which contains its sustainable management strategy and efforts and achievements in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance).
The report includes ESG management from January to December 2021, key ESG issues, sustainable management achievements (including some 2022 achievements to provide timely information), and more.
The 2022 Netmarble ESG Report highlights five main issues: ▲ being ranked in the Top 10 global mobile publishers for seven consecutive years ▲ strengthening communication with stakeholders in the new media era ▲ the eco-friendly new headquarters ‘G-Tower,’ awarded the Korea Environmental Grand Prize ▲ social contributions growing together such as the Game Culture Experience Center and Game Academy Bootcamp ▲ and strengthening company-wide ESG management efforts.
In particular, through this report, Netmarble emphasized its eco-friendly management strategy. Under the goal of ‘minimizing environmental impact for the next generation,’ it plans to focus on three strategic tasks: ▲ strengthening climate change response ▲ reducing waste and expanding recycling ▲ expanding communication on environmental management.
In fact, the report specifically introduces Netmarble’s eco-friendly management, including the use of eco-friendly building materials in G-Tower and investments in energy demand management, creation of environmentally friendly spaces for biodiversity preservation, greenhouse gas management systems, and actual greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.
Kwon Young-sik, CEO and Chair of Netmarble’s ESG Management Committee, stated, “Despite the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and global economic crisis creating an unstable management environment, we have strived to secure competitiveness in the gaming industry and become a trusted company among stakeholders. All Netmarble members will continue to do their best to fulfill the responsibilities and roles expected of companies by our society to establish an ESG management system.”
Meanwhile, Netmarble established the ‘ESG Management Committee’ in December last year, and in July this year, it received an A rating in the ‘MSCI ESG Rating’ announced by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), a global ESG evaluation agency of Morgan Stanley in the United States.
