지방 공공기관의 ESG경영에 대한 연구 - 강원도 출자․출연기관 중심으로 -

The main purpose of this study is to understand the recent changes in the business environment on the management evaluation items of the three representative government invested and funded institutions in Gangwon-do and to raise their awareness of ESG management. The major analysis results are as follows. First, it was shown that the proportion of the item 'management performance' was the highest among the evaluation items by 'unit' in all three institutions, but ESG management elements accounted for a significant number from the global viewpoint. In particular, the items 'sustainability management' and 'social value' are identified as the main characteristics. Second, since public institutions have basic purposes, such as coexistence with the local community and realization of social values, and the reflection of issues presented by policies is essential because of the nature of public institutions, ESG management is evaluated to be performing well in the sectors of society (S) and governance (G) when compared to the area of environment (E). However, since the indicators differ according to the characteristics by institution, and there is no forcibleness or clear standard for ESG management thus far, comparability, reliability, and the degrees of reflection by the nature of institutions are judged to be a little different. Third, in the case of the area of environment (E), it was found that although the institutions were operating environment-related policies, such as the Green New Deal and Carbon Neutrality, and public offering projects poured out from the central government, the institutions were not clearly reflecting the relevant indicators on management evaluation or management performance indicators. That is, it is evaluated that now is the time to design and operate indicators so that performances by item, including the relevant indicators according to government policies can be more clearly measured. This is thought to be in line with the government policy emphasizing the paradigm towards ESG management and sustainable growth of public institutions. This study expects that information users grasp the non-financial information of local public institutions and refer to this information for decision making. The principle of market competition in the public sector and the principle of investments in the market are changing rapidly, such as being accelerated. By understanding the level of sustainable management of local public institutions, this study is intended to raise local public institutions' interest in ESG management.
