This study aims to find implications for the introduction and practice of ESG by domestic fashion companies by examining the core ESG topics and strategies of Samsung C&T Fashion Division, Kolon FnC, F&F holdings, and Fila. ESG management analysis examined the importance of the criticality evaluation process, critical issues, and implementation strategies for each key topic based on the company's 2021 ESG sustainable management report, and analyzed the relationship with UN SDGs and the GRI. The analysis results are as follows: As for KCGS' ESG rating, Samsung C&T's fashion division, Kolon FnC, and Fila Holdings were rated A, while F&F Holdings was rated B+. The major issues derived from ESG's criticality assessment are environmental issues related to Samsung C&T's fashion division. Kolon FnC was found to have focused on the social sector and F&F Holdings focused on governance structure. After examining the correlation between the ESG core strategies of the investigated fashion companies and the 17 SDGs, the common areas were identified as quality employment, sustainable production and consumption, and climate changes and response. Correlation with the GRI Standards 2021 Index, (GRI 1, GRI 11, and GRI 12 created in 2021) was not reflected. In the future, it will be necessary to have a transparent governance structure that meets global standards, sets measurable goals, and continuously manages them. Other companies should also recognize ESG management processes that embrace various stakeholders and strengthens win-win cooperation to manage risks, and establish mid- to long-term response strategies.

ESG는 환경(environment), 사회(social), 지배구조(governance)의 영어단어 머리글자의 조어로 2003년 유엔 환경계획 금융이니셔티브(UNEP FI)에서 처음 사용되었다[1]. ESG의 세 가지 영역 중 환경은 기업이 환경에 미치는 영향을 말한다. 환경요인은 기후변화 정책과 배출, 폐기물 그리고 자연자원 소비의 감축 시도 등을 다룬다. 사회요인은 기업이 조직 자체 및 기업과 직간접적으로 상호작용하는 이해관계자-직원, 고객, 지역사회, 정부 등-간의 사회적 영향을 개선할 수 있는 방향을 이야기한다. 지배구조요인은 기업의 주요의사결정을 하는 주주, 이사회 구성과 이들의 다양성과 독립성, 그리고 의사결정에 대한 한계와 기대를 설정하는 내부정책 등을 말한다. ESG 경영과 관련된 연구는 기업의 사회적 책임, 지속가능성, 기업 또는 재무적 성과 그리고 사회적 책임투자 등에 대한 부분이며 사례연구, 데이터 기반의 실증연구를 통하여 ESG 경영기업은 전기한 분야 대부분에서 정(+)의 결과가 나왔음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문은 ESG의 역사, 도입배경 그리고 경영성과에 미치는 영향 등을 국내·외 연구의 문헌분석을 통해 재무, 인사, 마케팅, 생산전략은 장기적으로 재무적인 요소뿐만 아니라 비재무적 요소 등에서도 ESG를 도입·운영하는 회사들이 강한 시장의 매력요인 창출을 통하여 기업의 지속가능성을 높이며 회사의 성장에 직접적인 영향을 주는 강력한 경쟁전략임 확인하여 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

The primary objective of the current study is to ascertain the effect of transparency and disclosure (T&D) on the value of banks operating in the Indian banking sector. It also includes finding the moderating impact of financial distress (FD) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) on the association between T&D and the valuation of banks. The study employs Panel data analysis (PDA) to analyze data and produce novel results thereafter. The authors of the study have considered using data of secondary nature which is sourced from banks operating in the Indian banking industry. Data in the current study has been considered for ten financial years, i.e., 2010 to 2019. The results reveal that T&D positively impacts a firm's valuation. We have also found evidence that financial distress and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) significantly impact the value of firms under the influence of T&D. As far as we are aware, no study of this kind has been done yet in any developing nation to determine the effect that T&D, FD, and ESG have on the value of Indian banks. This paper can help future researchers in their respective studies that will involve the study variables (FD, T&D, and ESG).

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of retailer's ESG performance on consumption value. The research analyzed the effect of consumption value that can be obtained through ESG management of retail companies on consumer attitude and repurchase intention. Research design, data, and methodology: A research model and hypothesis were established, and statistical analysis was performed on a total of 278 samples of all age groups. To secure the reliability and validity of the data, confirmatory factor analysis and discriminant validity analysis were performed, and the causal relationship of latent variables was verified through path analysis. Results: As a result of the analysis, it was found that among the characteristics of consumption value according to ESG management, social value, economic value, accessible value, and eco-friendly value had an effect on social contribution attitude. Also, the economic value was found to have an effect on the self-actualization attitude, and both the social contribution attitude and the self-actualization attitude have an effect on the purchase intention. Conclusions: This study empirically analyzed the value of ESG management in the retail industry that consumers are paying attention to recently. This will serve as a basis for revising and supplementing the retail companies' strategy in the near future.

ESG는 모든 기업에게 선택이 아닌 필수 사항이 되었으며, 국내 주요 은행들도 ESG 경영을 적극적으로 실천하고 있다. 은행은 ESG 내부활동 뿐만 아니라 자금공급의 중개자로 ESG 금융을 제공하는 역할을 수행하고 있다. 최근에는 디지털 신기술과 결합하여 친환경 활동 수행 시 우대금리를 제공하는 ESG 금융상품을 출시하고 있다. 그러나, 무분별한 우대금리 제공은 은행의 수익성에 악영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 환경인식 개선에 실질적으로 기여하지 못할 경우 그린워싱(Greenwashing) 문제에 직면할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 전기 절약과 연동된 ESG 디지털 적금상품을 연구 대상으로 선정하고, 가입자의 실제 데이터를 통하여 소비자의 환경인식과 저축행동을 실증적으로 분석하였다(표본수 2,478개). 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, ESG 디지털 적금상품의 가입 현황을 분석한 결과, 30~50대가 주요 고객층으로 나타났으며, MZ세대는 다른 세대에 비해 전기 절약 실천을 통한 우대금리 달성에 있어 상대적으로 높은 성과를 보였다. 둘째, 소비자의 환경인식은 ESG 금융상품의 목표 달성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. ESG 디지털 적금상품은 저축의 기본 기능에 충실함과 동시에 환경인식을 높이는 데 기여할 수 있음이 확인되었다. 셋째, 환경인식은 소비자의 저축 납입행동을 유도하지 못했으며, 이는 지속적인 소비자 관여가 필요함을 시사한다. 본 연구는 환경인식(Environmental Awareness)과 저축행동이론(Theory of Saving Behavior)을 기반으로 ESG 금융상품의 목표 달성에 미치는 소비자 인식 및 행동을 학문적으로 설명하였다. 연구의 결과는 ESG 금융상품의 우대금리 설계의 적정성이 중요함을 시사한다.

세계적으로 ESG경영 열풍이 불면서 국내,외 기업들은 자발적으로 지속가능경영을 선언하고 전략을 수립하여 적극적으로 대응하고 있다. 금융위원회에서는 ESG경영을 나타내는 지속가능보고서 공시를 단계적으로 의무화하고 있으며, 앞으로 중소기업까지 확대될 것이다. 지속가능보고서의 정보공개는 주로 국제표준 GRI, SASB, TCFD로 활용되며, 국내 다수 기업이 GRI Standards 가이드라인을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지속가능보고서의 구성체계를 살펴보고 GRI Standards를 기준으로 공기업과 사기업을 비교하여 유형별 지속가능경영을 분석하고자 한다. TF-IDF 모델링을 통해 분석 결과 공기업은 '사회', '노동' 분야에 초점을 두었으며, 사기업은 '경제', '환경' 분야에 집중하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전자·정보통신 산업은 '제품책임'에 중점을 두는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 지속가능경영을 등급에 따라 수치화하여 분석한 기존 연구와는 달리 비정형데이터인 지속가능보고서를 분석함으로써 ESG경영에 관심을 갖는 연구자 및 관리자에게 유용한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify research trends related to ESG by domestic and overseas researchers so far, and to present research directions and clues for the possibility of applying ESG to Korean companies in the future and ESG practice through comparison of derived topics. Research design, data and methodology: In this study, as of October 20, 2022, after searching for the keyword 'ESG' in 'scienceON', 341 domestic papers with English abstracts and 1,173 overseas papers were extracted. For analysis, word frequency analysis, word co-occurrence frequency analysis, BERTopic, LDA, and OLS regression analysis were performed to confirm trends for each topic using Python 3.7. Results: As a result of word frequency analysis, It was found that words such as management, company, performance, and value were commonly used in both domestic and overseas papers. In domestic papers, words such as activity and responsibility, and in overseas papers, words such as sustainability, impact, and development were included in the top 20 words. As a result of analyzing the co-occurrence frequency of words, it was confirmed that domestic papers were related mainly to words such as company, management, and activity, and overseas papers were related to words such as investment, sustainability, and performance. As a result of topic modeling, 3 topics such as named ESG from the corporate perspective were derived for domestic papers, and a total of 7 topics such as named sustainable investment for overseas papers were derived. As a result of the annual trend analysis, each topic did not show a relatively increasing or decreasing tendency, confirming that all topics were neutral. Conclusions: The results of this study confirmed that although it is desirable that domestic papers have recently started research on consumers, the subject diversity is lower than that of overseas papers. Therefore, it is suggested that future research needs to approach various topics such as forecasting future risks related to ESG and corporate evaluation methods.

FinTech, which has brought innovation to the financial industry thanks to the advancements in ICT since 2010, has contributed to the growth of the financial ecosystem and increased consumer benefits. Furthermore, there has been a growing demand for social responsibility and sustainability in financial institutions, which have a significant impact on governments, businesses, and people's lives. Despite this, many FinTech companies and traditional financial institutions are still in the early stages of establishing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management philosophy or lack long-term plans. In this study, we aim to examine the impact of ESG management on the FinTech industry, focusing on representative domestic cases, and derive policy and institutional measures to spread it in the financial industry. Specifically, we will adopt MSCI rating indicators, which are internationally accepted by various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation, to evaluate the 35 ESG management subcategories of FinTech companies. As a result, a total of 22 compliance items were disclosed in the ESG report, and it was possible to confirm the detailed management. Through this, we intend to propose effective management strategies for the organizational structure, operations, programs, and performance evaluation of FinTech companies, which are positioning themselves as sustainable growth drivers in the domestic industry.

Due to the growing importance of ESG management, various studies have been conducted to explore the relationship between ESG performance and corporate value. The purpose of this study is to investigate how a company's ESG performance impacts its corporate value. The research findings indicate that there is difficulty in explaining the relationship between ESG performance of Korean IT companies and firm value in a straightforward manner. However, the results demonstrate that companies with higher profitability, higher foreign ownership, and higher R&D expenditure tend to have a positive impact of ESG ratings on corporate value. Based on these results, we can infer that Korean IT companies can enhance their corporate value by increasing R&D investments to develop innovative products that improve profitability. Additionally, attracting higher foreign investments can also positively influence ESG performance and subsequently increase corporate value. Acknowledging these factors can help companies realize the significance of ESG performance in elevating their overall corporate value.
