On the 3rd, the Win-Win Growth Committee announced that it has signed an agreement with the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry to promote the 'Joint ESG Support Project for Partners in the Distribution Industry.' This agreement was established to help partners in the distribution industry respond efficiently to ESG management.
In the distribution industry, it is common for a single partner to conduct business with multiple large corporations, resulting in the burden of responding redundantly to ESG information requests. To address this issue, the Win-Win Growth Committee and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry will provide support to reduce the redundant response burden on partners. They plan to assist large distribution companies in utilizing common ESG indicators and sharing partners' ESG information through a platform.
Additionally, the two organizations will operate an ESG network to create a communication channel where representatives from large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises can share the current status, challenges, and best practices of ESG in the industry. They also plan to hold forums and seminars that share ESG cases in the distribution industry supply chain by compiling the outcomes of this support project and ESG survey information.
Oh Young-gyo, Chairman of the Win-Win Growth Committee, said, "We understand that partners in the distribution industry face many difficulties in practicing ESG management. Through this agreement, we will continuously discover and expand various programs to help partners respond efficiently to overlapping ESG demands."
