Abstract

Purpose: This study conducted an empirical study to identify the current status of real estate managers' ESG awareness and to derive recommendations for improvement. Research design, data and methodology: A survey was conducted among those who actually manage real estate assets regardless of region. Descriptive statistical analysis, paired sample t-test, and IPA analysis were conducted using SPSS 27.0 statistical package. Results: The results of the t-test showed that respondents perceived their on-site management achievements to be lower than their perceived importance in all areas of ESG. In the IPA matrix, the mean of achievement is higher than 3, which is moderate. Environment (E) was found to be relatively low in importance. In the Social (S) aspect, the achievement level was low compared to its importance, and Governance (G) was found to be low in importance. Conclusions: Based on the analysis, it seems that policies are needed to emphasize the importance of environmental issues such as greenhouse gas reduction in the environment (E) sector and to strengthen realistic achievement in the social (S) and governance (G) sectors.
