KCCP Signs Business Agreement with KEPCO E&C to Promote ESG Support Project

Providing Customized ESG Education and Support

The Korea Commission for Corporate Partnership (KCCP) announced on July 2 that it has signed a business agreement with Korea Electric Power Corporation Engineering & Construction (KEPCO E&C) to promote the "2025 Partner Company ESG Support Project."

This agreement is part of efforts to enhance the ESG management capabilities of partner small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the power and energy ecosystem, and to establish a sustainable ESG culture across the industry.

KEPCO E&C, established in 1975, has recently focused its capabilities on future energy technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs), offshore wind power, hydrogen, and nuclear fusion. The company is taking a leading role in responding to the climate crisis and transitioning to next-generation energy. Building on this foundation, KEPCO E&C is also strengthening its win-win growth with partner companies and SMEs from an ESG perspective.

Through this agreement, KEPCO E&C plans to provide comprehensive support to partner companies and SMEs, including customized ESG education, assessments, on-site inspections (consulting), and improvement activities, based on the "SME ESG Standard Guidelines" developed by the KCCP. After consulting, the KCCP will issue an "Excellent ESG SME" certificate to partner companies and SMEs that demonstrate outstanding compliance with ESG indicators.

Additionally, KEPCO E&C is working to identify core needs such as quality, energy efficiency, and productivity improvement through communication with partner companies and SMEs. To address these needs, the company operates tailored training sessions, dispatches experts, and runs performance-sharing programs to support the enhancement of innovation and growth capabilities.

These efforts contributed to KEPCO E&C receiving the "Best" grade in the 2024 public institution win-win growth evaluation, as well as achieving a comprehensive A grade for two consecutive years in the ESG evaluation conducted by the Korea ESG Standards Institute.

Lee Dalgon, Chairman of the KCCP, stated, "This agreement with KEPCO E&C serves as a milestone for spreading ESG management culture throughout the power and energy ecosystem and enhancing the sustainable competitiveness of SMEs," adding, "The KCCP will deliver tangible results through field-oriented, customized ESG support."
