복지영역의 ESG경영을 위한 탐색적 연구: 종합사회복지관을 사례로

The purpose of this study is to find policy implications for applying ESG to social welfare. For this purpose, data were established and analyzed through in-depth interviews on the three stages of external publication-practice-disclosure for the internalization of ESG management in the case of social welfare centers that declared ESG management practice. The research results are as follows. First, EGS management was declared as part of efforts to change the institutional crisis caused by COVID-19, but no specific plans or operational guidelines were prepared. Second, the ESG practice was carried out in the process of performing the three functions based on the Social Welfare Services Act, and the department and the person in charge of ESG were not designated and the system for monitoring the performance of the practice was not established. Third, the evaluation indexes such as donation, transparency of budget use, and program evaluation are announced using the social welfare center homepage or SNS, but there is no indicator related to the environment. The policy recommendations are as follows. First, ESG management should be publicly announced and contents related to ESG should be included in internal management regulations. Second, the general department responsible for ESG management practice should be designated and set up efficient business promotion. Third, detailed items that can disclose ESG management activities in the social welfare area should be prepared. Fourth, manpower training and budget support for ESG activities should be required to local government. Fifth, support organizations such as the ESG Promotion Committee should be established.
