Public Enterprise ESG Information

Public Enterprises Obliged to Do Extensive ESG Reporting

The government will add four ESG[1] categories to corporate information reporting requirements for public enterprises.  The four newly added categories are safety and environment, social contributions, cooperation, and family-friendly work environment, and are expected to encourage public enterprises to play a leading role in the pursuit of the green new deal goals, as well as increase their value.

Four new categories

- Safety and environment:  workplace safety, green product purchases and greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts

- Social contribution:  voluntary social activities and financial contributions

- Cooperation:  purchases of innovative products made by SMEs, as well as products made by the physically challenged

- Family-friendly work environment:  Family care leave and work place daycare centers
