Dongbanwi Supports ESG Management for SME Supply Chains

'2025 Partner ESG Support Project' Announced
Applications Open Year-Round for Participating Companies

The Win-Win Growth Committee announced on the 12th that it will implement the '2025 Partner ESG Support Project' to strengthen the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management capabilities of partner small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Participating companies include domestic large and medium-sized enterprises as well as public institutions, operating by contributing to the Win-Win Cooperation Fund to support partner SMEs, and participation is open throughout the year. Since 2019, the Win-Win Growth Committee has been promoting the partner ESG support project, with 106 large enterprises and public institutions participating so far, providing consulting to 1,679 SMEs, among which 1,241 companies have been certified as excellent ESG SMEs.

This year, to strengthen the customized ESG support system for companies, the project will expand beyond simple consulting to consulting tailored to the individual circumstances of each company. The Win-Win Growth Committee explained that while maintaining ESG education and consulting based on the 'SME ESG Standard Guidelines,' it has reorganized the program to actively respond to global ESG issues by reflecting the demands of each company.

Additionally, participating companies can choose support services as needed, such as specialized consulting for greenhouse gas reduction and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) response, supply chain ESG certification, conversion of environmental and industrial safety and health facilities, and publication of sustainability management reports. Furthermore, large and medium-sized enterprises and public institutions participating in the project can enjoy various benefits such as ESG practitioner training, awards for win-win growth, large and small enterprise ESG forums, and benchmarking of excellent domestic and international cases.

Partner companies selected as excellent ESG SMEs will receive tangible benefits such as preferential interest rates, support for overseas market entry, and environmental and energy technology assistance. Chairman Idal-gon of the Win-Win Growth Committee stated, “ESG management is no longer a choice but a necessity, and we will provide practical support to help partner SMEs effectively adopt it,” adding, “The Win-Win Growth Committee will actively support the participation of large enterprises and public institutions to build a sustainable supply chain.”
