The country's major business lobby groups are starting to realize their environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives, after having set up relevant internal organizations to lead them this year.
On Wednesday, the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) hosted the inaugural meeting of the "K-ESG Alliance," which it launched on April 14 to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) getting on the ESG bandwagon, in addition to conglomerates.
