Interest in the role of director of four large groups … Is ‘ESG management’ blowing in the business world?
With President Choi being virtually confirmed as head of the Korean Chamber of Commerce, there are signs of change in the business world. President Choi, known as the ‘ESG evangelist’, is expected to focus on injecting social values, saying: “Businesses should not only make money but also solve social problems.” President Choi has emphasized corporate social responsibility while accelerating “ESG management” for many years. In addition, since President Choi has always emphasized win-win growth and win-win growth, there are observations that he will take the lead in cooperation between large and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners.
Although expectations for President Choi are high, there are not few assignments. Korea Sang-Ang, Korea’s largest comprehensive economic organization, has 180,000 member companies, including large domestic companies and SMEs. Coordinated positions and voices of member companies must be properly communicated to the government. President Choi is also responsible for coordinating twisted corporate regulations, including the Severe Disaster Punishment Law and the Profit Sharing System, which are the latest business issues. The unprecedented new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) should also jumpstart morale in the business world, which has stalled due to the prolonged draw. A business official said: “In a situation where there are many pending issues such as overcoming the crown and fostering future growth engines, it is expected that if the head of an economic group with a strong sense becomes the head of the economic group, will be able to keep the center. “
