KEPCO KDN Provides Customized ESG Solutions for SMEs

The Win-Win Growth Committee and KEPCO KDN signed an agreement on the 28th to participate in the '2024 Partner ESG Support Project.'

KEPCO KDN, which first signed an agreement with the Win-Win Growth Committee in 2021 as the first public institution, will participate in the project for the fourth consecutive year. This year, it plans to actively support AI small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing customized Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) solutions to help set and achieve ESG goals tailored to each company's characteristics.

The Win-Win Growth Committee will select ESG indicators for partner SMEs based on the 'SME ESG Standard Guidelines' and systematically support their ESG capabilities through ESG education, diagnosis, and on-site inspection (consulting) programs.

KEPCO KDN is currently operating various systems to secure global competitiveness, such as actively supporting technology development and protection (technology escrow support) and intellectual property acquisition for AI companies in the Gwangju Jeonnam region and SMEs registered in the technology market.

Lee Dal-gon, Chairman of the Win-Win Growth Committee, stated, "In an era where the co-growth of large corporations and their partners is emphasized, ESG is an essential management strategy," adding, "Through this agreement, the Win-Win Growth Committee will actively support partner companies to internalize and practice a sustainable management culture."

Kim Jang-hyun, President of KEPCO KDN, said, "ESG management is both a corporate obligation and a survival foundation for sustainable growth," and added, "We will actively support ESG management for co-growth with partner SMEs and do our best to spread ESG in the energy ICT industry."
