Exploring the Connectivity of ESG Core Values from a Christian Perspective and the Direction of Christian Education Utilizing Design Thinking

Purpose of the Study : This research aims to examine the core values of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) from a Christian perspective and explore the direction of Christian education that fosters character traits such as service, compassion, responsibility, and sharing through the process of design thinking. Content and Method of the Study : By investigating the background and definition of ESG, ESG practices in businesses, and the current status and values of ESG education in universities, this study examined the core values of ESG from a Christian perspective. Subsequently, the study explored and proposed directions for applying ESG education methods infused with character traits such as service, compassion, responsibility, and sharing through the process of design thinking. Conclusion and Recommendations : Through this study, the core values of ESG have been derived as elements from a Christian perspective, and exploration has been made on how to integrate them into the design thinking process. Consequently, this study has identified the potential to integrate ESG into the design thinking process with a focus on elements from the perspective of Christian education. This could serve as foundational material for education seeking to apply ESG through the integration of design thinking, and it is hoped that it will be helpful as a basis for further research. Subsequent studies should aim to construct a more systematic framework for the direction proposed in this study through expert reviews.
