Deloitte Global is a key partner of CGI, and the Deloitte Korea Group will also participate as a major partner of the CGI Korea headquarters. In particular, Baek In-gyu, Head of the ESG Center at Deloitte Korea Group, will participate as a member of the CGI Korea Headquarters Launch Steering Committee to explore cooperation in various areas.

The CGI Korea headquarters will provide diverse support to help domestic companies establish effective climate governance-based decision-making systems. Its main roles include ▲activating networking among domestic and international board members ▲analyzing board member capabilities and providing related education ▲holding regular forums on climate governance ▲providing funding channels for sustainability projects.

The CGI Korea headquarters is expected to play a pivotal role in accelerating the carbon-neutral transition of domestic companies centered on their boards and strengthening climate resilience, leading efforts to solve global climate issues.
