“Redesigning ESG Strategies for Korean Industries
in the Era of Climate Crisis”

As the climate crisis becomes part of everyday life, the world is moving beyond carbon neutrality to pursue climate resilience and green transition.

International ESG standards are rapidly evolving, and global investors are closely examining carbon risks across supply chains along with a wide range of related issues.

In this era of transition, how well do Korea’s ESG strategies align with global trends?

KOREA ESG FORUM 2025 seeks to provide answers to these pressing questions and create a platform to design strategic responses together.

Gain memorable insights and practical solutions for real-world challenges — only at KOREA ESG FORUM 2025.
