국내 물류 기업 ESG 경영 활성화를 위한 연구: 심층 인터뷰를 통한 ESG 경영 도입 현황 및 문제점 파악을 중심으로

The purpose of this study is to present realistic strategic directions and implications related to ESG to domestic logistics companies that have already been introduced or are planning to introduce them. ESG is nowadays an essential keyword for the survival of a company. Although many companies are aware of the importance of ESG, and the related research is continuously and rapidly increasing, ESG has been recently introduced in Korea and has also been limited to large enterprises. This phenomenon is quite similar to the domestic logistics companies that are of interest in this study, and only a few very large domestic logistics companies are introducing ESG evaluation process. In particular, logistics companies can sustain and maintain their partnerships only when they continuously pay attention to and manage ESG-related issues such as carbon emissions and supply chain issues. Therefore, in this study, we conducted in-depth interviews with domestic logistics companies to understand and identify their ESG status and issues. In parallel with this, through an in-depth ESG literature review, we present implications and future research directions for establishing ESG management of domestic logistics companies.
