This study aims to determine whether ESG performance positively affects foreign ownership for listed firms that publish sustainability reports. Furthermore, we test whether the disclosure of environmental information in the sustainability report in accordance with the TCFD recommendations moderates the relationship between ESG performance and foreign ownership. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows. First, there is a positive correlation between ESG performance in a given year and foreign ownership in the following year, i.e., the higher a firm's ESG performance, the higher its foreign ownership. Second, the presence of environmental disclosure in accordance with the TCFD recommendations positively moderates the relationship between ESG performance and foreign ownership, i.e., environmental disclosure in accordance with the TCFD recommendations strengthens the positive relationship between ESG performance and foreign ownership. In conclusion, this study shows that foreign investors invest more in companies with better ESG performance, and the effect is stronger for companies that disclose environmental information in accordance with TCFD recommendations.

Sustainability has already become one of the most important innovation policy agendas in many countries. Korea has tried to emulate this global trend in various forms, unfortunately with little success. A very strong tradition of centralized administration in Korea has meant that local communities and municipalities have remained more or less passive in tackling their own sustainability issues and problems. In recent years, with the impetus of huge democratization attempts in Korea since the late 1980s, there have been some local attempts to remedy these imbalances since the early 2000s. A series of local experiments to try and test green alternatives against the very hostile environment have been implemented, with varying degrees of success. This study analyzed cases of transition experiment to sustainable socio-technical system such as MUSIC project, Low Carbon Green Village and Citizens' Sunlight Power Stations. To draw politic meanings for sustainable socio-technical system, these content, process of conversion and feature were examined.

This study empirically investigated the relationships among external factors (i.e., the imitation, compulsory and normative pressures, and governmental regulation), proactive environmental strategy, the adoption of green-supply chain management (GSCM) techniques, green corporation with suppliers, environmental performance, and organizational performance. To empirically demonstrate the relationships, 78 sample firms' data were collected from Korean manufacturing firms that are listed on the Korean stock market. The results of this study showed that a proactive environmental strategy mainly and positively influences the adoption of GSCM, and the introduction of a proactive environmental strategy is significantly and positively affected by governmental regulation. It was also found that governmental regulation has an indirect impact on the adoption of GSCM through the introduction of a proactive environmental strategy. Thus, it is asserted that governmental regulation, in Korean manufacturing firms, is the unique external factor on the adoption of a proactive environmental strategy, which facilitates the use of GSCM techniques. According to the results, it was observed that GSCM positively influences the levels of green corporation, and both GSCM and green corporation have positive effects on the improvement of environmental performance. Hence, it is suggested that the implementation of GSCM inevitably brings high degrees of green collaboration with suppliers. Finally, it was found that environmental performance has a significant and positive impact on the organizational performance of a firm. This result implies that high degrees of environmental performance, which bring both the efficient usage of materials and energy and the elimination of wastes, can lead to the increase of organizational performance.

차랑 등의 수송연료인 휘발유나 경유에 일정비율을 식물에서 뽑아낸 신재생연료 즉 바이오 연료를 혼합하여 공급하도록 의무화하여 온실가스 배출을 줄이기 위한 신재생연료 혼합의무제도(RFS) 국내 시행방안과 관련한 공청회가 지난 2월 15일 서울교육문화회관에서 지식경제부 주최와 한국석유관리원 주관으로 개최됐다. 정부는 2020년까지 경유나 휘발유에 바이오 디젤 에탄올을 4~5% 섞게 하여 동 기간까지 온실가스 감축목표량 중 8~10%까지 달성한다는 계획을 세워놓고 있다. 하지만 녹색연대 등 민간단체들은 온실가스 감축 효과는 매우 불확실하며 특히 어떤 원료를 쓰느냐에 따라 오히려 기후변화를 악화시킬 수 있다는 주장과 산림훼손, 세계 곡물가 상승, 국내 유가 상승 등 많은 문제점들이 있음을 우려해 강하게 반대를 표명하고 있는 입장이다. 우리 협회에서도 곡물을 이용한 에탄올의 혼합의무가 시행되는 경우 옥수수 등 사료원료가격의 상승으로 가뜩이나 어려운 축산업의 경영상황을 더욱 약화시키게 될 것이 예견되는 바, 동 혼합의무제도의 시행을 적극 반대하는 대 국회 및 정부활동을 전개한 바 있다. 그 결과 지난 4월 17일 국회 지식경제위원회 법률심사소위원회에서는 신재생연료 혼합의무제도의 시행 시기를 2년간 유보하고 혼합의무연료에서 에탄올을 제외시키는 방안을 논의한 바 있어 향후 입법과정에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 이에 따라 본지는 이번 RFS의 국내 시행과 관련하여 어떠한 문제점들이 있는지 관련 업계 종사자의 글을 통해 알아본다.
