This forum was organized to examine key issues related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management faced by nonprofit organizations (NGOs and NPOs) and to explore strategic responses, amid the growing trend of incorporating ESG factors into investment decision-making in global capital markets.

In particular, in light of the fact that ESG performance and issue management have become important criteria for organizational trust and sustainability, the forum featured in-depth discussions on the roles and challenges of the nonprofit sector.

To enhance accessibility and convenience for participants, the event was held online via Zoom. The program began with opening remarks from Lee Hyun, Head of the ESG Innovation Group at Shinhan University, and a welcome speech from Lee Hyangsu, the next president of the Korean Local Autonomy Association, followed by a keynote presentation by Lee Gihwan, CEO of WithValue.

Afterwards, Song Jeongmin, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at LG Electronics, Yoo Jinhui, Director at the Korea National Council on Social Welfare, and Yoon Seok, Editorial Writer at Safe Times, participated as panelists and engaged in an active discussion focused on current issues and practical measures for ESG management in nonprofit organizations.

In his congratulatory remarks, Seongjong Kang, President of Shinhan University, stated, "I consider this forum on ESG management to be very meaningful," adding, "As an academic institution, Shinhan University will continue to conduct research and discussions on policy tasks and implementation plans to build the ESG ecosystem."
