On the 21st, Gyeonggi Province announced that it signed the "Gyeonggi Province-Shinsegae Property ESG Activation Business Agreement for a Bright Future Opened by Opportunities" at the Starfield Suwon Byeolmadang Library with Shinsegae Property.
Governor Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi Province attended the agreement ceremony and said, "Gyeonggi Province and Shinsegae Property have come together to share thoughts and collaborate on ESG," adding, "In the future, we will provide many artists with opportunities to perform together with Starfield. We will also install solar power facilities to respond to climate change and carry out various projects for underprivileged youth and adolescents."
He continued, "Gyeonggi Province is focusing on values that are not well compensated financially in the market. We are creating opportunity income for artists and people with disabilities, and this year, we have also created opportunity income for those who act on climate change, as well as for entrepreneurs in rural and fishing villages," emphasizing, "We will continue to join hands with many other companies and do our best to pursue activities that seek necessary values that are not yet widely recognized."
According to the agreement, the two organizations will promote 14 projects in 6 areas to spread ESG values at six Starfield stores in the province, including Suwon, Hanam, Wirye, Bucheon, Goyang, and Anseong.
ESG stands for Environment, Social, and Governance, representing the core elements of corporate management for a sustainable society, which includes environmental management, social responsibility, and sound and transparent governance.
Key collaborative projects include ▲ installation of solar power generation facilities in idle spaces and climate crisis response campaigns ▲ expansion of social enterprise marketplaces and support projects for traditional market specialized brands in cooperation with social economy enterprises ▲ campaigns for proper pet care and discovery of products from pet industry companies ▲ providing performance opportunities for opportunity income artists, collaboration to support Gyeonggi Hidden Writers, and support for excellent publishing content ▲ discovery and production of sustainable public interest campaign content on themes such as Gyeonggi Province’s history, culture, and society ▲ mentoring opportunities using ‘Starfield Play’ and ‘Byeolgum Supporters’ ▲ network formation and performance measurement research.
Lim Young-rok, CEO of Shinsegae Property, promised, "Through this agreement, we will do our best to achieve sustainable development together with Gyeonggi Province," adding, "We will continue to communicate and cooperate through various activities with the local community."
