Global Anti-ESG Trends and How South Korean Companies Can Respond

Changes in international politics, including the recent US presidential election, are raising concerns around the future prospects of ESG and relevant policies in Korea and around the world. This seminar aims to discuss the anti-ESG movement and how Korean actors, including investors and corporates, should respond to it.

In this invite-only event, InfluenceMap and Korea Sustainability Investing Forum (KoSIF) will gather leading stakeholders in Korea to provide insights into how Korean companies can comply with the new regulatory regime, ensure that they continue to operationalize risks, and take advantage of ESG-related opportunities.

This in-person event is by invitation only. If you are interested in attending, please reach out to gyeongjeong.min@influencemap.org.
