First encounter with ESG
Description
Book Introduction
47 ESG Management Stories Anyone Can Read
ESG management is gaining importance globally, but how many Korean college students, elementary, middle, and high school students clearly recognize the importance of ESG and ESG management? Furthermore, despite the introduction of various ESG-related systems, including the Carbon Emissions Trading System, ESG remains a distant concept for most workers not in related positions.
We convey the importance of ESG management to a diverse range of readers, from college students and job seekers to office workers and the self-employed.
It also introduces various economic and management theories and concepts related to ESG concepts, such as agency theory and stock price crash risk. Those who have found ESG management difficult will find this book helpful in acquiring an ESG-centric perspective and mindset.
I believe ESG is deeply connected to family love and, more broadly, humanity. ESG is establishing itself as a corporate management value we must uphold.
Its value will only spread if there is a change in awareness and effort from businesspeople and the local community.

Why was Samsung Electronics' RE100 declaration delayed compared to Taiwan's TSMC?
Samsung Electronics lags significantly behind TSMC in RE100 participation. TSMC joined RE100 in July 2020, while Samsung Electronics joined two years and two months later, in September 2022.
Global companies such as Google, Apple, and GM had joined RE100 long before, leading to the misunderstanding that “Samsung Electronics is indifferent to eco-friendly management.”

Will companies that adopt ESG management avoid tax less?
Domestic researchers argue that different ESG factors are effective in preventing tax evasion, and the key point is that domestic companies that are active in social responsibility activities do not engage in unethical behavior such as tax evasion or tax avoidance.
Moreover, a company's ESG performance ultimately enables corporate sustainability by increasing its tax liability and social responsibility.
--- p.115
Why Are ESG Investors Investing in Polluting Cryptocurrencies?
While it's true that investors investing in both ESG and cryptocurrencies face the paradox of "value conflict," if cryptocurrencies can secure transparency and reliability in the long term, they can also be seen as having positive aspects in terms of society (S) and governance (G).

How did the Ukraine war accelerate the EU's push for green energy?
In May 2022, three months after the war, the EU announced the 'REPowerEU' policy package to address the energy crisis caused by the Ukraine War, which reflected three policy objectives: expanding the implementation of renewable energy, reducing energy consumption, and diversifying energy sources.

How did Hurricane Katrina spur the adoption of ESG management in the US healthcare industry?
Hurricane Katrina, which struck the southeastern United States in August 2005, killed over 1,800 people and caused $100 billion in property damage.
Patients and their families fled their homes, which were vulnerable to storms and natural disasters, and took refuge at Memorial Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana.
When Katrina hit this hospital, medical staff faced a dilemma.
Although a helipad was installed on the rooftop, it had not been used for 18 years, and even when rescue teams arrived, the medical staff had to determine the 'order of life', considering patients who had difficulty moving or had no hope of survival.

Son Heung-min's Tottenham Hotspur is the Premier League's most ESG-friendly football club.
In 2023, Tottenham Hotspur were named the Premier League's greenest club for the fourth consecutive year.
Liverpool FC also tied with Tottenham for first place, ranking first in the EPL's sustainability rankings by the UN-backed Sport Positive for the fourth consecutive year.
