Busan Port Authority (President Song Sang-geun) held a plaque ceremony on the 13th for 'Underwater Solution' (CEO Ok Soo-seok), which was selected as an 'Outstanding ESG Small and Medium Enterprise' in collaboration with the Win-Win Growth Committee.
To establish a sustainable supply chain, Busan Port Authority signed an agreement with the Win-Win Growth Committee in July last year for the 'Partner Company ESG Support Project' and supported ESG management awareness improvement and capacity building for partner companies at Busan Port.
As a result, among the 10 participating companies, six companies (Underwater Solution, IPLMS, Physys Soft, NL Noise & Vibration Technology, Able EX, Robostec) that achieved an ESG compliance rate of over 80% were selected as 'Outstanding ESG Small and Medium Enterprises.'
Among them, Underwater Solution, a company developing underwater unmanned robots, achieved the highest ESG compliance rate of 97.6%.
Ok Soo-seok, CEO of Underwater Solution, said, "Being selected as an Outstanding ESG Small and Medium Enterprise has greatly helped our business operations by allowing us to enjoy benefits such as additional points or priority when securing investment funds through the win-win fund."
Companies selected as 'Outstanding ESG Small and Medium Enterprises' can receive incentives such as preferential bank interest rates, priority in KOTRA overseas expansion support projects, environmental and energy consulting and technical support, and preferential treatment in official development assistance.
BPA President Song Sang-geun stated, "We will practice win-win cooperation by strengthening the ESG management capabilities of partner companies to create a win-win growth ecosystem at Busan Port."
