As ESG (Environment, Society, Governance) becomes an emerging hot topic recently, major stakeholders of corporations, including customers, investors, credit rating agencies, and governments are demanding a high level of ESG management system from corporations. In consideration of the increasing importance of ESG management and the demand for ESG management education, KUBS has newly established the ESG-Advanced Management Program (ESG-AMP) as of March.

Dean Johngseok Bae said, “Relative to a great interest in ESG management, an ESG management education program for CEOs does not actually exist,” and explained, “Our goal is to promote ESG management throughout the Korean society and thereby contribute to the sustainable development of companies, society and the mankind.”    

The ESG-AMP course at KUBS is a high-quality 16-week education program offering an original curriculum covering the basic concept of ESG management, latest trends in environment issues, social values, corporate governance, and corporate response measures. In addition, the ESG management status of companies or organizations where students work is analyzed and possible solutions for improvement are examined. Further, KUBS seeks to foster CEOs with practical ESG management capacity through the ESG-AMP program by offering domestic or overseas training opportunities where students visit excellent domestic and abroad ESG management companies and acquire hands-on experience in ESG management.
