      What We do

      ESG encompasses Environmental, Social, and Governance dimensions, representing a paradigm where non-financial factors have become equally pivotal to corporate value creation as traditional financial performance indicators. Companies must therefore transition from traditional management paradigms centered exclusively on financial value maximization to cultivate both financial and non-financial value creation.

      Organizations that neglect ESG management will face multifaceted risks spanning operational challenges, credit rating downgrades, and regulatory compliance issues. This will ultimately result in the erosion of trust from key stakeholders including investors, customers, partners, and society at large.

      Samjong KPMG pioneered Korea's ESG landscape by establishing the country's first dedicated ESG team in 2008, leading the development of the domestic ESG market. Our integrated ESG team, composed of accounting, finance, and strategic consulting experts, provides comprehensive one-stop solutions for ESG management system implementation. Our services span ESG benchmarking, ESG vision and management strategy framework development, ESG-driven new business and product development, ESG performance management system establishment, and ESG certification services including ESG bond certification and ESG report verification.
