The Win-Win Growth Committee and the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation signed a participation agreement for the '2024 Partner Company ESG Support Project' on the 17th.
Through this agreement, the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation will contribute 150 million KRW to the win-win cooperation fund and select customized ESG indicators for companies located in industrial complexes based on the Win-Win Growth Committee's SME ESG standard guidelines. Using this as a foundation, they plan to comprehensively support partner companies' ESG management practices through ESG education, diagnosis, and on-site inspections (consulting).
They will provide a self-diagnosis service to check each company's ESG level and improvements, and promote various projects to support sustainable management of companies in industrial complexes, such as low-interest loans for ESG management funds through the establishment of a co-funding fund worth approximately 20 billion KRW with IBK Industrial Bank.
Oh Young-gyo, chairman of the Win-Win Growth Committee, stated, "I hope this project contributes to improving ESG management awareness and strengthening capabilities of companies in industrial complexes for creating a sustainable supply chain." Lee Sang-hoon, director of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, said, "Through this agreement, we will strive to spread the culture of win-win growth and continue support projects for SMEs facing difficulties, taking the lead in expanding ESG management."
