The Government Employees Pension Service ESG Management Committee is composed of up to eight internal and external members, including the chairman, who is the head of the Innovation Management Headquarters. It plays a role in deliberation, resolution, and advisory on major issues related to the Service’s ESG management.

At this committee meeting, experts from various fields such as Professor Choi Seong-ju of Kyung Hee University, Team Leader Kwon Mi-yeop of Samil Accounting Corporation, Team Leader Jeong Areum of SK Social Value Research Institute, and Professor Min Ju-hong of Jeju National University attended to discuss three agenda items: the Service’s ESG management strategy and major achievements, and the diagnosis of ESG management level.

Meanwhile, the Service declared 2021 as the inaugural year of ESG management and has since established ESG management strategies to promote projects in various fields such as eco-friendliness, regional coexistence, human rights, and integrity. Last year, the Service compiled its ESG management achievements into a sustainability management report and achieved milestones such as preparing a 2050 carbon neutrality roadmap.

Kim Dong-geuk, Chairman of the Government Employees Pension Service, stated, “This ESG Management Committee strengthened transparency and expertise through the participation of external members. Going forward, we will pursue ESG management with a clear direction through projects and initiatives that only the Service can undertake.”
